Week 9
The Prowler is flourishing, taking the #1 spot on the heels of an 11-1 record over the past four weeks. May need to parlay this string into recouping my retirement that is in the toilet...
Nice job by Scotty B keeping the numbers up.
Spartan Brian, didn't show up last week (much like the Spartans didn't show up against the Suckeyes). So he will be picking 6 losers this week to square up.

Bad news never gets any better with time:
Notre Sham (-11.0) vs. Washington:
There will be a lot of emotion on this one. Washington desperately needs *a* win and the Irish need to keep winning so they don't end up in the "Toilet Bowl" and get a set of 12 mini sham-wows like me.
Oregon (-3.5) vs. Arizona State:
The Ducks will definitely be out of water when they visit the Sun Devils in the desert; Orange sauce on the side or sunscreen?
USC vs. Arizona (+14.5):
Speaking of needing sunscreen maybe being out in the sun to long BE my problem ... No upset here, Pete and the Toe-jams will try and run-up the score (again); maybe they'll be too tired from last weeks track meet to run to far?
Roche's Picks
I'm going with all early games this week:
Air Force -5 over New Mexico
Auburn +3 over West Virginia
Boise State/San Jose State over 42 1/2
Fatty Fulmer +6 over Sabum
I just have a feeling that Bama has been running on fumes. Road game, tough stadium, UT has a decent defense. I like Rocky Top outright.
Fighting Manginos -1 over Texas Tech
Man riding horse, wearing mask and a cape and carrying a gun versus strange looking bird. This is no dove hunt.
Aubie +3 at Burning Couches
I will be surprised if Tubby doesn't win this one outright.
Fun Fact: family trees in West Virginia are even more linear than Alabama.
renegades picks
Mississippi -4 over
Arkansas
Penn State -2.5 over
Ohio State
Lsu +2.5 over
Georgia
In an effort to continue his losing streak, Spartan Brian has resorted to flipping a coin for this week's picks.
Michigan +3 1/2
Illinois -2 1/2
Ohio State +2 1/2
Alabama -6
LSU -1 1.2
USC -16
It’s perhaps the most heart-pounding, blood-curdling experience thing to watch this year. No, no, not the newest just-in-time-for-Halloween horror movie. I’m talking about ACC football. And, boy, it has it all this year. Thrills! Clemson’s terrifying plummet from preseason favorite to ghastly joke. Chills! Virginia’s uncanny ability to rise from the grave. Horrors! The idea of watching Ralph Friedgen eat. Terrors! The idea of picking up Friedgen’s dinner tab.
With Halloween so close at hand, it’s time for the Return of Scotty B’s ACC Monster Chiller Horror Theater! Enter if you DARE!!
Florida State (-5.5) over Virginia Tech
Say, has anyone in the press noticed that the Noles have been steadily improving throughout the season and now sit atop the ACC’s Atlantic Division? FSU’s defense needs to stay as tight and tough as it’s been and figure out a way to counter the mobility of the Hokies’ QB Tyrod Taylor. If the Noles can do that—and the youngish o-line holds together—the offense will have the time to deploy its formidable weapons against a young Tech defense.
Maryland (-11) over North Carolina State
Which Terrapins team shows up this week? The one that shut down Wake Forest and galloped to a 26-0 win or the one that collapsed against Virginia, losing by an embarrassing 31-0? At home, I’ll take the former, especially against a Wolfpack team that, despite the victory over East Carolina, still seems a tad uncertain.
Georgia Tech (-12.5) over Virginia
Virginia goes on the road to Atlanta, taking with it hopes of continuing its somewhat surprising winning streak against Georgia Tech. Alas, for the Hoos, the Yellowjackets—who are on top of the ACC’s Coastal Division and are rankled No. 18—have a strong running attack, centered around Jonathan Dwyer, and a robust defense, anchored by a rock-solid line, that allows only 13 points a game.
