week 7 picks & wrap
Sorry this is so late...stuff comes up and...well...it's not like i am getting paid...
Pats on the back for everyone that picked Cal to cover the 8. The Bears had not won at Wazzu since 1979, thus the "seemingly" small spread. But I think the Bears are real and hopefully can put the wood to USC.
Some of the rookies have been showing their ass this season and this week is no different.
Last week's leader however, may have made the biggest bonehead pick of the season. Ron Zook -6 over Ohio. And named it his LOCK to boot. But then again, that is why he is Spartan Brian, and has been for decades.
Get your picks in early and i will try and do a better job of keeping up...
BTW: The Prowler is 1 point out of first and looking for the title, will this be the break thru year, and if it is, this year's grand prize will be dinner at Ruth's Chris....

“Prowler” & “Scotty B” cont’d to claw their way up the rankings. (I just feel lucky that I didn’t get back to back “goose eggs”; what a pathetic attitude.)The SEC is a mess! Unless USC, Ohio St. and Michigan start losing I don’t see any SEC squad making it to the National Championship. Oh, did I mention that I was a glutton for punishment?
Week 6:
VA Tech (+2.5) vs BC
Penn St. (+5.5) vs Big Blue
Cal (-8) vs Washington St. [Lock]
SCOTTY B's Picks
Festivals Acadiens occur this week in Lafayette, Louisiana. Alas, I can’t be there to celebrate with my Cajun cousins. In the spirit of the event, however, my Week 7 picks focus on the area over which once fluttered the Fleur de Lys. Join me, therefore, for Scotty B’s SEC Swamp Romp. Stir up the gumbo!
Scotty B’s SEC Swamp Romp
Vanderbilt at (-13.5) Georgia
Last year, taking this game would have been a transparent attempt to gain points. This year, it’s something of a gamble. Throughout the season, the Dawgs’ offense has been mercurial. Last week, the offense finally looked better, albeit only in the first half; in the second half, it never rediscovered its first half groove. After a 17-10 loss to Ole Miss last week, the Commodores might seem to be easy pickings for Georgia, but their three SEC losses (Arkansas, Alabama, and Ole Miss) were by a combined 12 points. I think, however, Georgia’s heretofore-vaunted defense will regain its confidence by Saturday and that should give Bulldog offense enough time and space to sort itself out.
Mississippi at (-15) Alabama
Last week, the Crimson Tide delivered a woeful performance against ACC doormat Duke. Its offense scored 23 points on a team that the wretched Virginia Cavaliers beat 36-0 and its defense allowed the Blue Devils a 14-10 lead at the half. Indeed, Alabama has had better weeks—and better seasons. The Alabama faithful have reasons for cheer this week, however, in the fact that Ole Miss has a decidedly uninspiring offense and in the knowledge that, absent a last-minute interception, Vanderbilt could have pulled off a win last week.
Kentucky at (-26) LSU (Lock)
When thinking about this game, keep in mind the 1981 movie “Southern Comfort,” in which a squad of unarmed National Guardsmen on maneuvers in the swamps of Louisiana tick-off the locals and then almost immediately come to wish they hadn’t. Do so because the game will have a similar story line. With its best running back injured, Kentucky comes to Baton Rouge practically unarmed to face a LSU team that is loaded with offensive weapons—and undoubtedly extremely ticked off about last week’s game. Around the end of the first quarter, the Wildcats will be wishing they hadn’t tangled with the Tigers.

In reference to my picks, Georgia's defense had kept the Dawgs respectable since their offensive production took a nose dive early in the season. In the past two games, however, offense hasn't been a problem for Georgia. Alas, defense has been. Speaking of inadequate defenses, Alabama's needs help. Fast.
I'm torn, however, as to what team should receive the Poseur of the Week title: Georgia or Virginia Tech. Both have been lackluster since the early weeks and both have unravelled in spectacular style on national television. I'll hand the title to the Virginia Tech "Chokies," however, based on the "Thug U" style they displayed on the field and off this past Thursday night. If it weren't for Miami, VT would be the ACC's poster boys for bad behavior. Not much consolation in that, however, for "Hokie High."
