Week 4
Welcome back to The Chameleon. 4-5 is a bit subpar, but we will give you break as you shake the rust off.
Scotty B has started off very HOT looking for his first title.
Shout out to Spartan Brian as he loves to mirror his beloved Sparty...so much potential, so little to show for it...

Road Warrior Weekend!!
Da U +2 at Tech
This is the best offense Tech has faced. This is the worst offense Miami has faced.
Iowa +11 at JoePa
Paterno is 2-6 versus Ferentz.
Wazzu +43 at USuck
Dude...that is a lot of points!
Roche is picking against the Techs this week:
The U +2 over VT
UNC +3.5 over GT
Houston over TT
Wow, ScottyB & Prowler are on top of the "Leader Board".
Week 4:
TCU (+1.5) vs. Clemson:
Can the Horn-Frogs shut down Clemson's running game and keep it close?
Rutgers (-2.5)vs. Maryland:
Two "sloppy" teams; this should be a circus.
Florida State (-12.0) vs. South Florida:
If FSU doesn't suffer a letdown after their romp over BYU then they should handle the "Bulls". It helps that the game is in *Dope-slap* Stadium.
Spartan Brian's Weekly Losers
SB really really wanted to pick Ole Miss to lose, but was too busy to get the picks in on time, dammit. Did anyone really think Ole Miss was good let alone #4? They will lose at least 4 games.
Coach Doug -7
Didn't Pistol Pete used to sing for the Village People?
Spartanette's +3
Cousins can throw the ball for 40 points, but the sieve... er I mean "defense" will give up 80.
Golden Goofers +1
Fear the Buck Toothed Varmit.
Thanks for the kind words, Prowler. Frankly, I am surprised—stunned, really—by my record so far this year. This week, I’ll risk my lead and my reputation by making a foray down south for my annual SEC Swamp Romp. Stir up the gumbo!

Florida (-21) v. Kentucky
While Kentucky has improved under coach Rick Brooks, its win over Louisville was hardly encouraging. The Wildcats committed three second-half turnovers and allowed two fourth-quarter touchdowns by the Cardinals. Moreover, it took a Louisville fumble to give the Wildcats the opportunity to score the winning touchdown. It is hard to believe that a team so dependent on luck can score much against the Gators’ formidable defense. It’s even more difficult to believe that a defense that allowed an inferior Louisville back into the game has the solution to a Florida running game that is headlined by RBs Chris Rainey and Jeffrey Demps who respectively gain an average of 10.2 and 12.9 yards per carry. If Tim Tebow returns to his usual level of performance in the air, Florida will pick the Wildcat defense clean, and this game will be a rout.
LSU v. (+15) Mississippi State
Against a Mississippi State team that was 4-8 last year and is under first-year coach Dan Mullen, this game offers Tigers’ QB Jordan Jefferson and the rest of the offense an opportunity to establish momentum going into conference play. With a running and passing games that rank 48th and 103rd in the nation respectively, however, LSU’s offense barely registers on the excitement meter. Consider, too, that in last week’s 15-3 victory over Vandy, the Bulldogs held the Commodore’s offense to a mere 157 total yards and stuffed its running game (ranked 35th in the nation) almost completely, allowing only 33 total rushing yards. The Tigers’ defense is fearsome, but Dan Mullen, former Florida offensive coordinator, splits QB duties between two players who reportedly each bring a different look to the MSU offense and, so, it might be something of a challenge (at least initially). LSU has the horses to win this game, but the rebuilding Mississippi State could hang on long enough to make it interesting.
Alabama (-14.5) v. Arkansas
In its first SEC game of the year, Bama confronts Arkansas' passing game, an eye-popping (432 yards per game) flying circus that underpins the Razorbacks ability to score an average of 44 points per game. Defensively, however, Arkansas is lacking. Georgia ran for 155 yards and threw for 375 yards and five touchdowns. Alabama’s QB Greg McElroy, therefore, will be a handful. He’s efficient (66.7%) and throws for big yards (251 per game), and, at 6-3 and 220 lbs., he’s not afraid to run. With an offensive line that can open big holes (just ask Virginia Tech), the Crimson Tide rushing attack rings up an average of 267 yards per game. If Bama’s defense can cool off Arkansas’ QB Ryan Mallett and its offense can hang on to the ball, the Tide will roll indeed.
