They're back, my locks of the week

TheJON · Post by **TheJON** » Thu Aug 28, 2008 8:51 pm

(lines via Betus.com)

1.South Dakota State +14 at Iowa State

I don't know a damn thing about SDSU, but I don't have to. Everyone 'round these here parts knows full well that ISU, if they even win, plays like the worst team in college football within 2 weeks of the Iowa game (before or after). That's not my Hawkeye homerism, that's a straight up fact. Take a look at the past 10 years if you don't believe me. ISU probably wins, but by a TD or less. I will be in attendance tonight cheering on the Jack-o-lanterns or whatever the fuck they're called.

2.Oregon State -3 at Stanford

Jon loves him some 3 point road dogs/favorites. Usually means the road team is clearly better. Plus, Harbaugh sucks. Give me Oregon State to cover their beavers.

3.Utah +3.5 at Michigan

Been discussed many times. Both teams suck, but Utah has more experience on offense. Should be a relatively close game but unless Utah wets their panties in the Big House, they should have no problem pulling off the victory.

4.Western Michigan +14 1/2 at Nebraska

First game under Pelini. Defense will still suck. Nebraska will win, but this will be surprisingly close.

5.Washington +13 1/2 at Oregon

I like Oregon to win, but the first game being a conference game against a motivated Washington team should make for a close ballgame.

6.Missouri -8 1/2 over Illinois

Juice ain't the best QB on the team, only the retard Zook can't figure that out. Illini have talent, but Zook coaches them. Missouri is poorly coached too, but they have even more talent. It's the battle of 2 coaches that don't deserve to have this amount of talent. Give me Missouri to win 27-14.

7.California -4 1/2 vs Michigan State

Sparty will be able to run, but that's it. Home game for the Bears is a major advantage the first week. Give me the Fighting m2ools by 10.

8.Clemson -4 1/2 over Alabama

Alabama's ranked? Seriously? Come on now. Tommy Bowden sucks but even he won't be able to screw it up this year. Clemson ROLLS over the Tide.

9.UCLA +7 1/2 vs Tennessee

That's too many points for Tennessee to get on the road against a quality UCLA squad. I know it's Skippy's first game as coach, but they'll hang tough. Tennessee wins by 3-4 points.

10.Akron +26 1/2 at Wisconsin

If Vegas wants to give me 26 points on anyone versus Wisconsin, I'll take it. Last year they were proven a fraud (like I predicted they were) and this year they're the same old crap. Wisconsin will win only because of how bad Akron is but it will be within a couple of TD's.

There you go.....I project a nice 10-0 week!

6:28 left in the 2nd Q and SDSU has already thrown 4 INTS against Iowa State. ISU, 20-0.

i saw that DiT.

hehe.

JayDuck · Post by **JayDuck** » Fri Aug 29, 2008 5:36 am

Outstanding as always! One night in and 0-2 already. I've honestly never seen anyone with more amazing prognostication skills.

Stanford 36, Oregon State 28
Iowa St. 44, SDS 17

MgoBlue-LightSpecial · Fri Aug 29, 2008 2:37 pm

0-2! And so it begins...bwahahaha!

TheJON · Post by **TheJON** » Fri Aug 29, 2008 4:45 pm

Come on now, there's still 8 games to go. I'm guaranteed to finish 8-2! :D

Seriously, that ISU game was just brutal. Talk about a laugher/snooze fest. Had I known SDSU was THAT bad, I would have taken ISU. Their QB is the worst QB ever. Holy fuck, he threw 5 picks and 3 of them were passes that were not thrown BEYOND the line of scrimmage. Seriously! The RB (#30) he had a lane to run through all night but he's white and has no footwork so he couldn't get many yards on most carries.

ISU was up 20-0 at half and that was misleading because SDSU had really outplayed them except for the turnovers. ISU had a +2 turnover margin at half.......while still committing 3 turnovers of their own.

ISU's back 7 looks pretty solid. They were very physical. But up front on both sides of the ball they've got issues. They have a QB controversy between Phillip Bates and Austen Arnaud and neither stood out even though statistics may show otherwise. SDSU was just so bad it's hard to judge. They got away with a couple really bad throws that are picks against any other team. ISU's got some good WR's though and they might finally have a kicker.

Best statistic of the game.......ISU errrr I-State had something like 220 interception return yards. Never seen that before.

Jim Feist mentioned on his web site, that Vegas is looking into taking the games Jonsense picks off the board.

who knew t1b would crush the bookies and Vegas. Jonsense has arrived.

Yea, I'm really worried about my Tigers now.

Shit

TheJON · Post by **TheJON** » Fri Aug 29, 2008 10:58 pm

The funny part about it is I root for my picks to go the other way because it's comical the responses I get on here.

Rack me!!

TheJON · Post by **TheJON** » Fri Aug 29, 2008 11:08 pm

Okay, here are my Pick 6 league picks of the week (I finally decided on them).....

1.Utah +3.5
2.Western Michigan +13.5
3.Florida Atlantic +23.5
4.Clemson -5.5
5.California -4.5
6.Missouri -8.5

For those of you that root for the above 6 teams you should feel confident. I'm due. Law of averages says I've gotta not suck on my Pick 6 picks eventually. Last 2 years my record is less than 40% combined so I'd say that things have to even out eventually. Hopefully it will be this year! 55 players in, and I'm going to take home the $1,000+ first prize fo' sho'! Either that or I'll finish in last!

though, that is some impressive ciphering you have above.

no need to hijack jonsense thread, his brilliance needs to be the key here.

Akron got a garbage TD late in the game. Damn. This had promise.

That's too many points for Tennessee to get on the road against a quality UCLA squad. I know it's Skippy's first game as coach, but they'll hang tough. Tennessee wins by 3-4 points.

"Quality UCLA squad"

This coaching staff has feverishly attempted to fill the holes and clean up the mess left by Dorrell. No offensive line experience whatsoever, and a JC transfer 3rd string QB behind that non-existent O-line....take the points. This could get ugly.

5-5 this week. That ain't too shabby!

You put the lines from the paper on the carpet and the first 10 teams your cat pukes on are your locks of the week.

I will consider the name change.

If my cat puked on my newspaper, I'd fucking kill it. I keep hoping the damn thing won't come back each day but it always does. I really wish our neighborhood had more traffic!!

Exactly what the line makers want...the idea is to get north of .500! You lose with a betting split Einstein.

I didn't know you had a cat....but I figured you the type of dude to have one. Thanks for confirming.

Another lesson you'll have to learn...you can't kill the animals when your kids love them.

What - you think the lack of a tomcat skin welcome mat at my house is a coincidence?

You think it's MY fucking cat? Yeah, or my wife's. I hate cats. They irritate the fuck outta me. Claws on my fucking door and annoys us if we don't let him in the bedroom. Then the little shit starts clawing at me feet. Trust me, I'd shoot the SOB if I could. His name is Pikachu. I suppose you think I came up with the name too, right???

PSUFAN · Post by **PSUFAN** » Tue Sep 02, 2008 7:07 pm

JON - you married a girl who would name a cat "Pikachu"? What sort of a man are you? Are your gonads detachable? Do you sling them over the hat rack with tweezers when you breeze on home?

No, I didn't come up with the name for our football team. That said, I don't see what you have against the name. It's mildly comical.
