Pigskin Pickin' Machine

Slow week in college football with just Ohio State taking on Toledo of interest,but we do add the NFL,so extra games to pick from there as well.

Ohio State blasted the worst team in the MAC last year in last weeks game,but this week takes on one of the better teams in Toledo.
The Rockets feature a wide open offense and Ohio State will be missing the "Charity three" for another week as the NCAA diddles around..
Hmmm,do a charity event and get a gift bag-two games,take money from a felon (Jacory Harris) only one.
Isn't the NCAA grand?
This could be close for a while.

Our NCAA game of the week goes to the weeks only meeting of ranked teams with Alabama visiting Penn State.Neither team has decided on a quarterback yet,but I just don't see Penn State doing very much against the brutal Bama defense no matter the QB.

In the pros,Cleveland hosts the Cincinnati Bengals in a game that looks to be pretty ground centered.
Both teams will try to establish the run,so the team with more success stopping it should get the W in the battle of young Texas passers.
The game could also come down to which of Colt McCoy or Andy Dalton is able to avoid the big mistake.

Seattle visits San Francisco in the first game for Jim Harbaugh as Niner coach.
Good luck in winning with Alex Smith,but one could say the same for the Hawks trying to win with Tavaris Jackson.
Frank Gore always seems to play well against Seattle and that is a concern.
Seattle's offensive line struggled in pre-season and Robert Gallery will miss this one.
Concerns abound for me in this one.

The game of the week would have been the Packers-Saints game,but the Thursday start ended that,so we will go with the Sodom vs Gomorrah matchup of the NFL otherwise known as Pittsburgh vs Baltimore.
Baltimore is going all in with veteran signees and additions to leap over the Steelers,who stood pretty much pat as usual.
This looks like another violent matchup and I was going one way all week until today,I suddenly got a different feeling-let's see if I am right

PPM
Ohio State over Toledo 34-17
Alabama over Penn State 21-6
Browns over Bengals 20-14
49ers over Seahawks 28-16
Steelers over Ravens 17-13
