Pigskin Pickin Machine

The pickin machine starts poppin with Ohio State (7-1 3-1) traveling to lowly Minnesota (1-7 0-4) in a prime time matchup that ABC/ESPN has to be less than thrilled with being stuck with/
Although one could have figured that out before the season that this was going to be a stinker for the network.
I see little need for any analysis of this one-pick your score.

Texas Tech (4-3 2-3) got their badly needed road win last week over Colorado and needs to add a road win over Texas A & M (4-3 1-2) in College Station to put the Red Raiders in good shape for a bowl bid.
The problem is that this is a rivalry game and the Aggies are in the same boat as Texas Tech-needing this one badly for bowl hopes.
If anything this might be more of a must win for A & M than Tech and that says a lot..

Our game of the day goes to the Big 12 and features 6th ranked Missouri coming off an upset over Oklahoma visiting 14th ranked Nebraska.
It is going to be tough sledding for the Tigers to stay focused after the huge win over the Sooners and win in Lincoln,especially after the Huskers laid an egg in their loss to Texas.
If you want a BCS buster,root for Nebraska to take this one.
One more team to bite the dust for the BCS final to be Boise State-TCU......

Our Picks
Ohio State over Minnesota 52-13
Texas Tech over Texas A & M 24-23
Nebraska over Missouri 28-20

The Browns are off this week,so our focus goes to Seattle (4-2) ,who I know I missed another reviewing the tape.
I can almost guarantee that this weeks will happen though with one less recap to do.
Oakland (3-4) ran up huge points on Denver last week and Seattle struggles on the road,although the win at Chicago gave me some hope.
This looks like it might be a fun game to watch.
The key looks to be for the Hawks to stop the Oakland running game and make Jason Campbell beat them.

Our game of the week will be the Packers hosting the Jets.
The Jets stop everyone and come in off a bye.
The Packers cannot run the ball and will need throwing efficiently to have a chance.
It might take 50 throws from Aaron Rodgers to win this one.

Our Picks
Seahawks over Raiders 20-17
Jets over Packers 24-21
