BlogHawgs.com Week 11 Picks (In Review)

Posted by Adam Butler on November 15, 2009

stanfordUm, yeah, I know…..the games are over.  But, because of some unforeseen circumstances, namely H1N1 taking out 1/2 of BK2, we were unable to post our picks prior to the games this week.  Nevertheless, we made them and here they are.  You will notice my 21-10 stretch over the last 2 weeks has tightened a once wide gap.

Road Home Line BK AB
Tennessee Mississippi Mississippi-3 Mississippi Tennessee
AB Says:  Dexter is a SEC serial killer. I am shocked Monte didn’t have a better plan against him–arrests notwithstanding.
       
         
Kentucky    Vandy Kentucky -3 UK UK
AB Says: Randall Cobb is having a better year than Tim Tebow (if you look at performance and turn off the hype machine)  but no one is taking notice.
       
         
Stanford USC-W USC-W -11.5 Stan Stan
AB Says:  The Brains rolled USC-W. Love it.        
       
         
Iowa Oh. St. OSU-13.5                       OSU OSU
AB Says: Bitter pill to swallow for an Iowa team that nearly pulled off the upset at The Shoe with its backup QB.  
       
         
Nebraska Kansas Neb -4 Neb Neb
AB Says: It’s officially hoops season in Kansas.  
       
         
Florida USC-E Fla -15 USC-E USC-E
AB Says: Stephen Garcia has perfected the Man, WTF INT.  Tebow and Urbie have perfected the Man Hug.   
       
         
Arizona California AZ-1.5 AZ Cali
AB Says:  Shake it, Cali.    
       
         
Auburn Georgia Georgia-4.5 UGA UGA
AB Says:  UGA needed that.  
       
         
Texas A&M Oklahoma OU -18.5 A&M OU
AB Says:  Which will hurt Bradford’s NFL stock more–his shoulder injury, or Landry Jones putting up numbers that suggest Sam might be another OU system QB (that is never under center)?    
       
         
Alabama Miss St. Bama -12.5 MSU Bama
AB Says:  Moo U needed more cowbell–a lot more cowbell.    
       
         
Troy Arkansas Arkansas Ark Ark
AB Says:  Dear Coach Blakeney: Eat it.      
       
         
Utah TCU TCU-17.5 Utah Utah
AB Says: If Texas falters, the Horned Frogs deserve a shot at the National Title.      
       
         
Notre Dame Pitt Pitt -7 Pitt ND
AB Says:  At this rate, Charlie is gonna need some divine intervention to save his job.  
       
         
Texas Tech Ok St. Ok St.-3.5 TTech Ok St.
AB Says:  I guess the fat girlfriends have been talking a lot in Lubbock, again.  
       
         
La Tech LSU LSU-24 La Tech LSU
AB Says: LSU is making a science out of winning ugly.     
       
         
   
       

BK:  87-63-2

AB:  84-66-2

ESPN’s Chris Low Offers a SEC Buffet O’ Info

Posted by Adam Butler on November 15, 2009

mallett redfor conference, Hogs fans.

Including props for one Hog climbing the school passing charts, and (again) predicting a familiar postseason destination for Arkansas.  I am beginning to wonder whether the Razorbacks have to win out in order to go to Big D.  A 7-win trip isn’t unprecedented this decade (remember the OU debacle?) and the SEC is full of good, but not great 7-win teams, as everyone is beating up on one another.
