Pigskin Pickin Machine

The machine starts whirring this week with Ohio State vs Eastern Michigan,
College football has its mismatches often,but this one looks pretty bad with the number two team in the land against a team that has lost fifteen games in a row.
The only questions in this one are these-Why is this an ABC game and how long will it take before ABC/ESPN switches to another game in progress?
Name your score....

The game of the week looks like number one ALABAMA (done in full Keith Jackson voice) traveling to number ten Arkansas and power armed Ryan Mallett.
Upset alert as the Bama defense is still jelling as a unit after a huge graduation hit,although the big question is just how many points the Hogs will need to pull this one out.

Our Picks
Ohio State over Eastern Michigan 56-7
Alabama over Arkansas 33-24


The NFL features three games after a week that saw me forget a game of the week last time out.


The Browns (0-2) limp into Baltimore with another week of Seneca Wallace,a limping Jerome Harrison and an anemic passing attack against "Murderin" Ray Lewis and a pissed off group of whiny Ravens (1-1),who apparently blame the refs for their loss to the Bengals,conveniently forgetting the help from the arbiters in week one against the Jets.
Slim hope for Browns fans is that Joe Flacco and the Baltimore offense has struggled and the Browns D has been solid in both losses..

The (1-1) Seahawks host the (1-1) Chargers after both teams reversed their fortunes in week two from their openers.
Ryan Mathews looks to be out or at least slowed by an ankle injury against a Seahawks defense that has been solid against the run.
Seattle will need to avoid the dumb turnover (hear me,Matt Hasselbeck?) and use Justin Forsett more often to keep a explosive San Diego offense off the field.

The game of the week looks like the Monday night matchup between the undefeated Packers and Bears.Looks like a shootout between Aaron Rodgers and Jay Cutler,although the inconsistent Cutler could determine just much fun this game is.
This one may come down to which team is able to run the football better and that favors the Bears..

Our Picks
Ravens over Browns 24-10
Chargers over Seahawks 30-17
Packers over Bears 35-24
