Dont bet on my picks and the Family fued returns

 Another beautiful day of college football is only a few hours away.  Sorry about not writing last night but I was too busy answering your angry emails about my sports movies.  HEY JOHN; SHAZAAM! Anyway here are the picks for this week, as well as the family fued won by elysa last week.

1.) Michigan v. Northwestern- Northwestern got blown out last week by Ohio State.  They really had trouble with a mobile quaterback.  Sheridan is starting agin this week for Michigan and he is more of a threat to run than Steven Threet. Michigan is finally looking like they are figuring out the spread.  They jumped out early on Penn State and scored alot in the loss to Purdue.  I think this will continue and Northwestern may not have an answer.  Maybe just maybe....MICHIGAN

2.) Notre Dame v. Navy- Notre dame is really not a bad team. They might be the most inconsisitent team in college football but they really are not bad.  They still need one win to be bowl eligible.  Navy is an actual good team.  They are disciplined on defense, efficient on offense and they are better than they were last year when they beat the Irish for the first time in forty some odd years.  With all that said Notre Dames young defense got a first hand lesson in how to stop the spread with last years game as a how not to.  And on top of that Charlie Weis will resume calling the offensive plays this week.  I think it might just be enough.  NOTRE DAME.

3.) Texas v. Kansas- Texas looks to have gotten back on track in the second half of the game last week.  They have a strong defense even with Bryan Orakpo out for the second straight week.  Kansas has a great offense but just gives up too many points.  A clicking Texas offense is almost impossible to stop.  TEXAS

4.) Georgia v. Auburn- Auburn is great on defense but down right awful on offense.  Georgia is still a good team despite giving up alot of points to both Florida and Kentucky.  However Auburn can not score so that point is moot.  I think Auburn can play stiff defense and keep it cose but, GEORGIA

5.) UNC v. Maryland- North carolina has alot of weapons on offense and can score alot of different ways.  They have looked very inconsistent but they have continued to win. However here is something you may not know; Maryland is 5-0 at home this year outscoring opponents 153 to 82.  they are also 3-0 verse the top 25.  And as John said this is the week they bring their whole team. Maryland shows up in big games and that wont change this week.  MARYLAND

6.) BYU v. Air Force- Since their dismantling at the hands of TCU, BYU has flown under the radar.  They are still a very dominant offensive team.  Air Force like the rest of the service academis play consistent discplined football.  I just dont think they have enough athletes to keep this one close.  BYU

7.) Minnesota v. Wisconsin- I know this is an oxymoron, but these are two very good Big 10 schools.  Minnesota  has alot of weapons on offense and they play as a unit on defense.  Wisconsin has one of the strongest running games in college football.  Also Minnesota has given up alot of rushing yards to both MIchigan and Northwestern over the last two weeks. WISCONSIN

8.) South Carolina v. Florida-  Yall were nervous werent you.  No I am not picking South Carolina to upset Florida.  I learned my lesson.  Yes South Carolina has a great defense.  Yes their offense has come alive with Garcia at quaterback.  BUT Florida scores a shit ton.  THats right a shit ton.  This is at the swamp and South Carolina cannot score enough points even if their defense has the game of the season.  FLORIDA

9.) USC v. Stanford- This game breaks my heart.  We all know how I feel about Stanford.  USC has a stonewall defense and even though they have shown signs of inconsistency they are a really good offense as well. Not to mention Pete Carroll hates Jim Harbaugh and will be looking to run up the score.  USC

10.) Mississippi State v. Alabama- I am still not sold on Alabama.  They struggled last week against a tough defense, and this week will be no different.  After such an emotional win their will be a slight hangover.  MSU has shown no signs of life on offense but Coach Croom seems to have the Tide's number beating them each of the last two years.  Alabama is ripe for an UPSET. MISSISSIPPI STATE
