Pigskin Picks

We expand Pigskin Picks this week to include the game of the week in both college or pro football.

But first,Ohio State hosts New Mexico State in what should be a breather (Remember the last time that I said that?) before their brutal three game stretch to finish the season against Penn State,Iowa and Michigan,
The less said about this one the better.

The Browns and their all around issues travel to Chicago.
I know some people watched the Bears limp effort against the Bengals last week and think the Browns have a chance.
I don't see it,Chicago needs to sink layups like this to stay in the playoff hunt.
Look for lots of Devin Hester,Johnny Knox and Earl Bennett flying by the Browns secondary.

The Seahawks visit Dallas in a must win,Dallas is always enigmatic and if this game was in Seattle,I could see the Hawks doing something off the bye week.
Seattle must get Matt Hasselbeck going early and hope someone (anyone) can get the less than sterling run game going.

Our game of the week in college has the 5th ranked USC Trojans going to Eugene to battle the 10th ranked Ducks of Oregon.
Oregon has been running over all comers since their first game loss to Boise State and has home field advantage.
USC usually wins these types of games with major implications,but I have a good feeling about Oregon

Our pro game of the week is the Monday matchup between the 6-0 Saints and the 4-2 Falcons.
I picked this game since I would wager most people would say the Vikings-Packers game would the game of the week.
Plus,it seems like half the roster of my fantasy team plays in this game.
Drew Brees versus Matt Ryan looks to be a shootout,but the games key could be which team can run the ball more effectively.

My Picks
Ohio State 41-7
Bears 31-6
Cowboys 27-14
Oregon 42-38
Saints 35-31
