BaBaStooey's Football picks for this weekend
Me! ^ | 11/16/01 | BaBaStooey

Ok kids, remember, taking these picks to Vegas might mean you could be washing Vegas dishes for years and doing favors for the mob for life. So unless you'd like to live the adventure, remember these picks are for entertainment purposes only.

For the college games, take Mississipi, South Carolina, Tennessee, Ohio State, Michigan, Syracuse, California, Washington State, Alabama, Brigham Young, UCLA, Marshall, and Florida.

Best bets are Virginia, Texas Tech, and Maryland.

Currently this year I am 83-95-0 in college picks, and 14-16-0 in bese bets against the point spread.

For Week 10 (of the weak NFL), I'm taking: the Bills, Eagles, Packers, Jets, Saints, Bears, 49ers, Browns, Redskins, Cardinals (AKA my Lions are awful), Patriots, and Giants.

Best bets are Titans, Raiders, and those loveable Jaguars (not just a luxury car anymore).

Let's see how bad I can do this week. I am desperately trying to do well with my best bet picks because I have not gotten one right since Week 7 (when I got them all right). I am currently 61-62-5 against the point spread and 10-16-1 in best bets this season.

With Stanford and a 24 point spread, I just couldn't give the points. The golden bears sure kept it close!!

The one pick nobody questioned, was the Syracuse pick, especially after last week's thriller at Boston College. And then, Miami blows out the orangemen 59-0. Figures.

(1) I hate basketball.
(2) I am doing this for fun.
(3) My record in NFL picks is better than 7 of the 11 "experts" at the NY Post (only Hondo, Charleen, Odd Couple, and Rico are better). So, I guess I could do this for a living.

Oaktown covered, Jags gave up a TD in the final two minutes (or otherwise they covered), and the New England Patriots covered. The Lions season is still perfect, and the Bills covered by a half point.

And as for KG9 kid, Atlanta surprised us all.

Going into Monday night I have 11 wins and only 3 losses (SF, GB, and Jax). Life is good. Back to above .500 for the season, and 12-17-1 in best bets.

Take the Giants and the points tomorrow!

And in the immortal words of famed NFL gambler Pete Rose, "I thought the reason they had Monday Night Football was to break even for Sunday."

I can't believe it.

Death to Atlanta.
