the seven weeks -- week urchin, weak anemone, week bass, and so on

Doing these in a hurry without much thought, so this will almost certainly be my best week.

Mississippi State (-23.5) BYU is bad

Tennessee (-3) two bad teams

Auburn (-7) STILL ON THE HYPE TRAIN

Old Mist (-3.5) Khaki bowl

TAMU (+3) curious line to my eye; what has Florida done to be a favorite? Texas A&M looked a lot better so far, to me. I thought the most about this so it will be wrong.

Alabama (-28) wooo pig sooey

Georgia (-30) whatever

*In a monotone speaking voice, devoid of any inflection or nuance* These are my picks for week seven.

This week's theme is the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World.


Mississippi State -23.5   Great Pyramid of Giza: used to store grain.

Tennessee -3   The Hanging Gardens of Babylon:  probably not even real. lame.

 LSU +7   Temple of Artemis at Ephesus:  nobody cares about this. not there anymore.

Vanderbilt +3.5   Statue of Zeus at Olympia: congratulations on building a statue, idiots.

Florida -3   Mausoleum at Halicarnassus:  see Temple of Artemis

Alabama -28   Colossus of Rhodes: I heard it wasn't that big.

Missouri +30   Lighthouse of Alexandria:  holy shit a lighthouse! truly wondrous. NOT.

Lucky Seven

First and foremost, something i would never forget to do:
Last Week (oeuverawl)
Weasley: 3-2-1 (22-23-2)
Cheesley: 3-2-1 (19-26-2)

It's cool that these are all either very close or very not close.


BYU @ Mississippi State (-23.5)

South Carolina @ Tennessee (-3)

Auburn (-7) @ LSU

Vanderbilt @ Old Mist (-3.5)

TAMU @ Florida (-3)

Arkansas @ Alabama (-28)

Missouri @ Georgia (-30)


Elsewhere doing more important things like catching up on studies, starting a new hobby, and diligently self-caring: The University of Kentucky Wildcats

[musically] week six/ I'm not good at picks

Auburn (-21) I'm ready to get on the hype train

Georgia (-17.5) Georgia isn't as good as Alabama, but they're a lot better than Waaanderbilt, right?

Florida (-3) This game will be stupid to watch until the last five minutes. I think LSU loses the game more than Florida wins it. Also Florida winning the East and then losing to Alabama by six touchdowns is now the plan.

Arkansas (-1.5) I don't think either one of these teams is especially good.

TAMU (+26) (to the tune of "Won't Get Fooled Again") I'll be wrong again

Missouri (+10) Missouri is bad, but Kentucky is not exactly the 1985 Bears.

*to the tune of Dead and Bloated by Stone Temple Pilots* These ARRRREEE Wes's Week Six Pix That Somebody Told Me Will Be Wrong and Stuuupiiid

do do do do *snap* *snap*

Old Mist +21  Gomez Addams was the father. Rich for some reason. Hispanic. Horny. Swordsman.

Georgia -17.5   Morticia Addams was the mother. Tall. Pale. Largely unemotive. Spoke French in order to make Gomez even hornier than usual.

Florida -3  Wednesday Addams was the daughter. Pigtailed and murderous.

South Carolina +1.5  Pugsley Addams was the son. Generally happy-go-lucky. Not bright. Constantly being murdered by his sister.

TAMU +26  Uncle Fester was the uncle. Rotund. Very strong. Hairless. Good with the kids.

Kentucky -10  The rest. There was a grandmother type who had a cauldron, a severed yet sentient hand, squeaky hair-man, and a Frankenstein butler.

weak sex heh heh heh

We're ... we're not good, folks.

el dubs (oh aye):
everybody's friend wes: a muscular 3-5 (19-21-1)
everybody's foe charles: dee-litefully 2-6 (16-24-1)

Old Mist at Auburn (-21)

Georgia (-17.5) at Vanderbuiltfordtough

LSU at Florida (-3)

Arkansas (-1.5) at South Carolina

Alabama (-26) at TAMU

Missouri at Kentucky (-10)

Off apparently: Missississippi State, Tennessee (tennessee)

It's been/ week five that I make my picks/ make em wrong so I say I'm sorry

Vanderbluth (+10) I see a low-scoring 13-10 kind of game here. I am warming to the idea of, say, a three-loss Florida team going to the SEC title game so they can get smothered to death by Alabama and lose the Citrus Bowl to Penn State. Couldn't be happier.

New Mexico State (+16.5) I like the Aggies to cover here. Arkansas is emotionally shattered.

Georgia (-7.5) I think Georgia will be clearly better, but I also think is primed to be also a low-scoring game.

Regular Kentucky (-14.5) More like Can-tucky (?)

Mississippi State (+9.5) To me, that's preposterous. Auburn covering, things of that nature.

Troy (State) (+19.5) This line looks high to me.

TAMU (-10) I've given up on them Cocks, and I think Christian Kirk is really good at football. Prove me wrong, Muschache.

Old Mist (+27.5) Cap, I want to ADDRESS this issue. You KNOW I am sensitive to the Tide covering. BUT!

a captain makes his picks

please respect them, they're very important to him


Vanderbilt +10   The score of this game will be 11 - 2

Arkansas -16.5   Already forgot who they're playing.

Georgia -7.5   Kirby Smart.

Kentucky -14.5   Good coffee! You'll learn the origin story of this cup of coffee later in the post.

Mississippi State +9.5   The G-Meister just referred to the Amazon Fire Stick as the "Hot Stick" and now that's all I can focus on. Hot Stick.

Troy +19.5   UPSET ALERT!

TAMU -10   Going to go get some coffee while I think of something to write here.

Old Mist +27.5   hahaha, Why did I pick old mist? The answer is that I believe in Coach Freeze and what he's building.

week faaaaahve

last week (overalls):
the important man charles: a sterling 4-4 (14-18-1)
the obsolete man west: a craven 4-4 (16-16-1)

commence to pickin'!

Vanderbutt @ Florida (-10)

New Mexico State @ Arkansas (-16.5)

Georgia (-7.5) @ Tennessee

Eastern Michigan @ Regular Kentucky (-14.5)

Mississippi State @ Auboooo-urns (-9.5)

Troy (State) @ LSU (-19.5)

South Carolina @ TAMU (-10)

Old Mist @ Alabama (-27.5)



Sir Not-Appearing-In-This-Film: Missouri, possibly the worst team on earth

weak four traditionally features no old mist

excited to see some great blocks, tackles, throws, and catches in these games


Missouri +18   gross

UMass +28  poor, shitty, stupid tennessee

Arkansas +2.5   I would have picked them at -2.5, thanks sucker!! ha ha I'm so dumb.

South Carolina -8.5   sure

Alabama -18.5  nobody is convincing me that Vanderbilt is any good

Georgia -5.5   wrong

Syracuse +21.5    wrong

Florida -2   I actually think the score will be 2-0

pick some games before you go go

Missouri (+18) no way Auburn covers

UMass (+28) Of course, Tennessee will win, but I don't think they'll cover. 24 points would be a much tougher pick for me.

Texas A&M (-2.5) at Arkansas I do not now nor have I ever thought Bert Bulima is a particularly good coach. I think Sumlin in uneven but can be good. Plus my limited understanding is that Sumlin has the slighter hotter seat and thus more motivation to win.

South Carolina (-8.5) This is a weird game with a weird line. South Carolina having that best player get hurt challenges my conception of this game, which was limited to begin with, but I'm sticking with it.

Alabama (-18.5) it enrages me that this game exists.

Mississippi St (+5.5) I like the underdog straight up. Dan Mullen the best non-Saban coach in the conference? That's probably my pick. More like Kirby Dumb!

Syracuse (+21.5) [pushing up glasses] "Actually, Syracuse was the Orangemen until 2004, when" [gets hit by a bus]

Florida (-2) Impossible for me to muster any interest in this game.

better week four than never

The wonderful west: 3-4-1 (12-12-1 overall, sick symmetry)
The chunderful charles: 2-5-1 (10-14-1 overall, lol)

Auburn (-18) at Missouri

UMass at Tennessee (-28)

Texas A&M (-2.5) at Arkansas

La Tech at South Carolina (-8.5)

Alabama (-18.5) at Vanderbilt

Mississippi St at Georgia (-5.5)

Syracuse at LSU (-21.5)

Florida (-2) at Kentuckums

it's my picks .... now or never .... I just want to pick forever

TAMU (-24) TAMU is going to be mad about being such stupid moron idiots. Or, they'll fall apart? But I think they'll be mad. Them Cajuns is not very Ragin'.

Tennessee (+4.5) I was kind of surprised that Florida was such a big favorite, given their general offensive incompetence. Plus, Florida has to be all kinds of discombobulated with the hurrrrrrrrricane.

Purdue (+7) To cover but lose or maybe even straight up. I am not sure why Missourah is this big a favorite. Purdah had a close game to Louisville, who is good, and Missourah has looked like trash so far.

Alabama (-28.5) I totally forgot Bobo was Colorado State's coach.

Mississississippi State (+7) I think they cover but lose. I am not very confident about this pick.

Kansas State (-4) Yeah Waaaandy has a good defense, but that's because they've played two bad teams. We thought Auburn would have a good offense after the GA Southern game, but that was stupid. I don't know very much about Kansas State this year.

South Carolina (-6.5) A touchdown sounds about right, a 24-17 kind of game.

Old Mist (-3.5) I am also not very confident about this pick, although I am excited about this game. It's really late for Ole Miss, and they're cross country etc, plus the whole going to get hammered by the NCAA. But they're also way more talented than Cal. I am guessing the Alt Might passing game is the difference. If we were doing bets on over/unders, I would take the over here.

here come tha captainz week three picks

they say confidence is everything.

TAMU -24  easy pick. extremely confident. no way this is wrong.

Tennessee +4.5  really buying in on tennessee. this is a lock.

Purdue +7   missouri is a must-sell. 100% certain.

Alabama -28.5   the tide is going to "roll." take this one to the bank, boys.

LSU -7   are you kidding me? like taking candy from a baby.

Vanderbilt +4  vanderbilt might win the big 12. would at least be in the championship game. no doubt in my mind here.

South Carolina -6.5  this is basic as hell. there is only one answer.

Cal +3.5  perhaps the surest possible thing. bet the house, wife, and kids.

Week Three: this is the weekend it starts to get really good. just kidding.

Last week (Overall):

The big boy charles: 2 - 4 (8 - 9)
The big boy west: 4 - 2 (9 - 8)

It's neck and neck. Is this the weekend one of us gets a big old goose egg? Also is it the weekend one of us picks zero games correctly? I don't know the answer to either question but the second one is probably "no, that's very unlikely" and the first one is probably "i think charles is going to be pleasantly surprised with his goose egg."


Louisiana-Lafayette @ TAMU (-24)

Tennessee @ Florida (-4.5)

Purdue @ Mizzouri (-7)

Colorado State @ Alabama (-28.5)

LSU (-7) @ Missississippi State

Kansas State (-4) @ Vanderbilt

Kentucky @ South Carolina (-6.5)

Old Mist (-3.5) @ Cal


Dead to us this week:
Auburn (Mercer), Georgia (Samford (the real one)), Arkansas (themselves at practice I guess)

the captain week two picks

"I think your gonna like em"

Clemson -5 I forgot which of the white post-RG3 baylor quarterbacks jarrett stidham was. now i'm disappointed. not an overwhelming disappointment, i mean its something i'll work through but shit man. hurts right now.

Alabama -43.5 its fun and fashionable to throw around things like "thats a lotta points homer" and "nick saban doesn't obliterate lesser oponents, he slowly smothers them" *stephen a. smith voice* BUT! *end stephen a. smith voice i guess* last year alabama covered a 43.5 point line against kent state. *twist stephen a. smith voice* BUT!

TCU -3 if you like the gridiron, you'll love football.

South Carolina +2.5 i have already forgotten whether south carolina won last week. i remembered now.

La Tech +8 mississippi state plays a lot of weird away games. also, la tech is the feminine form, the mens teams should be le tech. i'm just kidding.

Georgia +4 "catholics vs convicts!" "hey... they're all convicts" *in a hushed, subversive tone with a cheshire grin creeping across my awful face* "they're all catholics..."

already out of clever titles

My picks

Auburn (+5) Check this out: Auburn will lose but cover.

Alabama (-43.5) I guess?

TCU (-3) at Arkansas So we basically don't know anything about these teams. I actually looked it up, and last year was that weird game where TCU outplayed Arkansas but still lost. So, I think that happens again, except TCU outplays Arkansas and wins.

Missouri (-2.5) I picked against the COCKS last week and was stupid. But, NC State probably should have won, so maybe I was smart but still just wrong. I feel like this will be relatively high scoring, which maybe favors Missouri? This would be my least-confident pick, probably.

Mississippi State (-8) Why is this game in Ruston Lerisianer?

Notre Dame (-4) Somebody said Fromm has moxie, and it's hard to pick against moxie. But I'm a big believer that Notre Dame is a lot better than they were last year. It looks like the line moved? I thought it opened higher than this. I am not confident about this pick, either. I guess my decision comes down to the fact that I don't much like Georgia.

Weak Two

LAST WEEK:

Tha Handsome Captain: 5-6
Yer friend Charlie: 6-5

We are off to a staggering, earth-scorching start. Pix at six on Thursday. This is a fairly light lineup.

Auburn at Clemson (-5)

Fresno State at Alabama (-43.5)

TCU (-3) at Arkansas

South Carolina at Missouri (-2.5)

Mississippi State (-8) at La Tech

Georgia at Notre Dame (-4)

Not on the menu, boys:

Northern Colorado at Florida
Eastern Kentucky at Regular Kentucky
Tenn-Martin at Ole-Miss
Indiana State at Tennessee
Alabama A&M at Vanderbilt A&M
Nicholls A&M at Texas A&M
Chattanooga at LSooga

THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN

My picks! genuinely excited, not confident.

NC State (-5) I guess

Michigan (-3.5) lol hardballs. FOR THE RECORD: I expect Michigan to win by exactly four points.

Kentuckums (-10)

Jeorgia (-14.5) this is the new way we spell it for UGA

Georgia Southern (+34.5) There's no way Auburn covers a five touchdown spread, right?

South Alabama (+24) without their escort services, Auld Must is powerless, like Samson without his hair.

Alabama (-7) villains. Easiest pick of the week.

Vanderbilt (-3) Why is this an away game for the Commies?

BYU (+16.5) The Big Easy™. I had lswho? to cover, but there's a storm comin'.

UCLA (-3.5) A tough pick.

Tennessee (-3) I guess. Another tough pick.

kenneth bone

I'm going to win this year. NOT.


NC State -5 people think nc state is going to be good maybe? did I make that up? who the hell am I to maybe disagree with them? I am not researching this at all.

Michigan -3.5 I guess

Southern Mist +10 call me old fashioned but I consider usm a mid-major powerhouse and also one of Alabama's principal rivals

Appalachian State +14.5 but Georgia wins in some stupid way

Georgia Southern +34.5 bart simpson voice: aye carumba! thatsa lotta points, homer

South Alabama +24 this is difficult. on the one hand I don't care and on the other hand it doesn't matter

Alabama -7 I bought a tv antenna so I can watch part of this game because I hate myself

Middle Tennessee State +3 exciting

BYU +16.5 bart simpson voice: homer, I'm concerned about how many points lsu is giving here

UCLA -3.5  tamu? ucla? what is this alphabet soup.

Tennessee -3 time to build up a head of hype before the Alabama game, tennessee

Remember how I won both parts of the bowl pick them?

Picks are ATS and due by Thursday at 6. Even though none of the applicable games are until Saturday unless they're not because of Harvey. And buddy... all bets are off.

WINNER LISTED FIRST, BECAUSE WINNERS ARE #1 BABY
CONFIDENCE POINTS ARE PRETTY CLEARLY INDICATED, YOU CAN FIGURE THIS OUT

INSTEAD OF THOUGHTS ABOUT THE GAMES I'M JUST GOING TO DO SOME FREE ASSOCIATION BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY I DIDN'T PUT ANY THOUGHT INTO WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE GAMES

NEW MEXICO BOWL
(32) New Mexico / UTSA
lobos are not coyotes so they have shot, right

LAS VEGAS BOWL
(16) San Diego St. / Houston

CAMELLIA BOWL
(21) Appalachian St. / Toledo
that guy with the sign. i hope he comes back and we see the sign on tv. Toledo seems like an awful place to live. I hope Toledo gets ahead and appy comes back so I can call them "blow-lead-o"

IDAHO POTATO BOWL
(37) Colorado St. / Idaho
 that's a big number i have in front of this

BAHAMAS BOWL
(23) Old Dominion / Eastern Michigan
going to start the rumor that eric harris was an old dominion fan and dylan klebold was an eastern michigan fan and they did columbine because they thought they would never see their beloved football teams go toe to toe in their favorite tropical archipelago that we all know and love as the Bahamas

ARMED FORCES BOWL
(17) Navy / Louisiana Tech
don't know why i picked navy. i guess bc jessica's car has a retired navy license plate so a bunch of elderly sailors are always saluting us.

(to the tune of "Con te partirò"): Time to .... picks some bowls

Gildan New Mexico Bowl
Albuquerque, N.M., Dec. 17
New Mexico (-7) vs. UTSA

Wow, there are a lot of bowls.

My pick: NEW MEXICO
Confidence ranking: 22

Las Vegas Bowl
Las Vegas, Dec. 17
Houston (-3) vs. San Diego State

Houston lost a coach! I tend to think that players try to impress a new coach, and there's not going to be a lot of transition difficulty with an internal promotion.

My pick: HOUSTON
Confidence ranking: 11

Camellia Bowl
Montgomery, Ala., Dec. 17
Appalachian State vs. Toledo (-1)

I mean, sure? I saw Appalachian State play in this bowl game last year, and it was quite a hoot.

My pick: APPY STATE
Confidence ranking: 1

Cure Bowl
Orlando, Dec. 17
UCF (-6) vs. Arkansas State

Tough to take this game seriously. I think some home field advantage will be the difference, but maybe not? A person gambling on this game would have to be a real degenerate.

My pick: UCF
Confidence ranking: 21

New Orleans Bowl

New Orleans, Dec. 17
Southern Mississippi (-3.5) vs. UL Lafayette

I wouldn't say that I've always liked Southern Miss, but I like them more than I like several teams. You Laugh is improving, but Southern Miss returns their starting quarterback. I actually did research on this game, and that why I will get this pick wrong.

My pick: SOU MISS
Confidence ranking: 27

Miami Beach Bowl
Miami, Dec. 19
Central Michigan vs. Tulsa (-11.5)

I saw Central Michigan on replay several times during the botched ending of their win over Oklahoma State. Frankly, what I watched didn't impress me. Did you know that Tulsa has the #6 offense? I didn't!

My pick: TULSA
Confidence ranking: 36

Boca Raton Bowl
Boca Raton, Fla., Dec. 20
Memphis vs. Western Kentucky (-5)

Western Kentucky lost their coach, and I think that I have asserted before my theory that players want to impress a potential new coach. I still don't feel terribly confident about this game, but I do guarantee one thing: it will be a WacKY game!

My pick: WESTERN KENTUCKY
Confidence ranking: 28

Poinsettia Bowl 

San Diego, Dec. 21
BYU (-8.5) vs. Wyoming

Normally, when the starting quarterback gets hurt at the end of the season, you pick against that team, but BYU had this happen last year and had good results. BYU has Big Mo(mentum) on their side.

My pick: BYU
Confidence ranking: 34

Potato Bowl
Boise, Idaho, Dec. 22
Idaho vs. Colorado State (-13.5)

POE TAY TOE

My pick: Colorado State
Confidence ranking: 39

Bahamas Bowl
Nassau, Bahamas, Dec. 23
Eastern Michigan vs. Old Dominion (-3.5)

Bahamas mon! Old Dominion is 9-3, but against a schedule that would embarrass your fair Captain on Dynasty Mode.

My pick: EASTERN MICHIGAN
Confidence ranking: 13

Armed Forces Bowl
Fort Worth, Texas, Dec. 23
Louisiana Tech vs. Navy (n/a)

Two teams riding losing streaks meet up in a game featuring institutions which helped win WWII. Scientists at NASA have confirmed that Tim Rattay is still coaching at La Tech.

My pick: LA TECH
Confidence ranking: 24

Dollar General Bowl
Mobile, Ala., Dec. 23
Ohio vs. Troy (-4)

Dolla dolla genrul y'all! That's the slogan I pitched Dollar General; it did not go well. Troy didn't beat Georgia Southern, which is all I want to see Walt sad.

My pick: OHIO
Confidence ranking: 14

Hawai'i Bowl
Honolulu, Dec. 24
Hawaii vs. Middle Tennessee (n/a)

Home field (or should I say ho field) advantage carries the day. Flying to Hawaii to play around in the water is distracting for a kid living in Murphfreezeborough Tennessee.

My pick: HAWAII
Confidence ranking: 12

St. Petersburg Bowl
St. Petersburg, Fla., Dec. 26
Miami (Ohio) vs. Mississippi State (-13)

Thirteen points seems like a big margin, but the outcome seems assured. Ned Starkville seems like a thing, right?

My pick: MISSISSISSISSISSIPPI STATE
Confidence ranking: 25

Quick Lane Bowl
Detroit, Dec. 26
Maryland (-1.5) vs. Boston College

Former ACC foes match up once again! BC has been smashed by every decent team they played, but fortunately they're playing Maryland. Did you know Maryland's coach is actually named D J Durkin? I cannot stand it.

My pick: BC
Confidence ranking: 2

Camping World Independence Bowl
Shreveport, La., Dec. 26
NC State (-4) vs. Vanderbilt

Dave Durrrrren

My pick: NC STATE
Confidence ranking: 35

Zaxby's Heart of Dallas Bowl
Dallas, Dec. 27
Army vs. North Texas (n/a)

Don't mess with North Texas! That's what I'd say if North Texas hadn't lose seven games this year.

My pick: AMERICA'S ARMY
Confidence ranking: 32

Military Bowl
Annapolis, Md., Dec. 27
Temple (-13) vs. Wake Forest

That Tim Rattay tab is still open. Hmm.

My pick: LEGEND OF THE HIDDEN TEMPLE
Confidence ranking: 38

Holiday Bowl
San Diego, Dec. 27
Minnesota vs. Washington State (-7)

I've never been to Minnesota or Washington state. You know I got my boy Mike Leach in this game, though.

My pick: WASHINGTON STATE
Confidence ranking: 4

Cactus Bowl
Phoenix, Dec. 27
Boise State (-7.5) vs. Baylor

Baylor is turning into a Penn State-esque nightmare right now, aren't they.

My pick: BOISE STATE
Confidence ranking: 37

Pinstripe Bowl
Bronx, N.Y., Dec. 28)
Pittsburgh (-5.5) vs. Northwestern

I had already forgotten that Pitt beat both Clemson and Penn State. Northwestern started off pretty bad but improved, which makes me wonder if this will be a close game.

My pick: PITTTTTTTTT
Confidence ranking: 16

Athletic Bowl
Orlando, Dec. 28
West Virginia vs. Miami (Florida) (-3)

Holgo for life. I think WVU will lose this game, and I don't even care. Did you know they're in the Big 12? And it only has ten teams? What a country.

My pick: WVU
Confidence ranking: 3

Foster Farms Bowl
Santa Clara, Calif., Dec. 28
Indiana vs. Utah (-8)

Utes? What's a Ute? Classic.

My pick: UTAH
Confidence ranking: 17

Texas Bowl
Houston, Dec. 28
Texas A&M vs. Kansas State (n/a)

TAMU is decidedly mediocre, but they have the same record as KSU against a tougher schedule.

My pick: TAMU
Confidence ranking: 20

Birmingham Bowl
Birmingham, Ala., Dec. 29
USF (-10.5) vs. South Carolina

South Florida is good enough they hired their coach away, so, good on them. I like the Charlie Strong hire. South Carolina is trash.

My pick: WE GOT IT ALL ON USF
Confidence ranking: 33

Belk Bowl
Charlotte, NC, Dec. 29
Arkansas vs. Virginia Tech (-7)

You can throw out the records when these former band mates get together. When are people going to figure out the Bert Believer isn't a very good coach? I'll tell you when: never, because life isn't fair.

My pick: VA TECH
Confidence ranking: 26

Alamo Bowl
San Antonio, Dec. 29
Oklahoma State vs. Colorado (-3)

Remember the Alamo? You said you'd never forget! The reason I like Colorado in this game: This is kind of a dream season for them, compared to a good but not outstanding year for Oklahoma State. Please, I root for Ralphie (Ralphy? not looking it up) to go insane and gore someone every time.

My pick: BUFFS
Confidence ranking: 19

Liberty Bowl
Memphis, TN, Dec. 30
Georgia (-1) vs. TCU

Georgia sucks and I hate them.

My pick: TCU
Confidence ranking: 23

Sun Bowl
El Paso, Texas, Dec. 30
Stanford (-3.5) vs. North Carolina

Might as well be bowling on the sun! I think bowl games don't favor speedy teams. Plus, I like to write it "Samford" when I pick. I still don't know which team is in which ACC division, and at this point I am proud not to know.

My pick: SAMFORD
Confidence ranking: 15

Music City Bowl
Nashville, Tenn., Dec. 30
Nebraska vs. Tennessee (-3)

This game will be "music" to your ears if you like trash teams playing bad football.

My pick: NEWBRASKA
Confidence ranking: 5

Arizona Bowl
Tucson, Ariz., Dec. 30
South Alabama vs. Air Force (-13.5)

This is another game where the line looks too big, but the favorite should still win.

My pick: AIR THE FORCE BE WITH YOU
Confidence ranking: 31

Orange Bowl
Miami Gardens, Fla., Dec. 30
Michigan (-7) vs. Florida State

Absolutely not.

My pick: MICHIGAN
Confidence ranking: 30

Citrus Bowl
Orlando, Dec. 31
LSU vs. Louisville (n/a)

Da Coach O is already tiring. That said! Louisville has less talent overall, and I think they're a team on the decline.  LSU will play for their new coach. They play this game in Camping World Stadium.

My pick: LSU
Confidence ranking: 7

TaxSlayer Bowl
Jacksonville, Fla., Dec. 31
Georgia Tech (-3.5) vs. Kentucky

pretty quotidian matchup imo

My pick: GA TECH
Confidence ranking: 6

Peach Bowl
Atlanta, Dec. 31
Washington vs. Alabama (-17)

Never in doubt, my friends.

My pick: ALABAMA
Confidence ranking: 40

Fiesta Bowl
Glendale, Ariz., Dec. 31
Ohio State (-3) vs. Clemson

Ohio State, I guess? I do not feel confident about this game. Ohio State has played a much tougher schedule, but they haven't looked that great doing it. I don't know. I dislike both of these teams, I hate this.

My pick: OHIO STATE
Confidence ranking: 9

Outback Bowl
Tampa, Fla., Jan. 2
Florida (-2.5) vs. Iowa

This pick is solely based on the idea that Florida will be healthy-ish.

My pick: FLORIDA
Confidence ranking: 8

Cotton Bowl
Arlington, Texas, Jan. 2
Western Michigan vs. Wisconsin (-7.5)

Nonsense. Western Michigan having that dream season and everything, but who is the best team they beat? Northwestern?

My pick: WISKY RIVER
Confidence ranking: 29

Rose Bowl Game
Pasadena, Calif., Jan. 2
USC (-7) vs. Penn State

The only thing that makes me questionable about this pick is that Joe Paterno did not take action to stop repeated incidents of child molestation.

My pick: USC
Confidence ranking: 18

Allstate Sugar Bowl
New Orleans, Jan. 2
Auburn vs. Oklahoma (-4)

Auburn will definitely not win this game.

My pick: AUBURN
Confidence ranking: 10

Final results:

Capz: 44-51-2
Chaz: 50-45-2

truly, you are the SEC TURD

*to the tune of here come the men in black* nationwide is on your side

what a ride this season has been. truly a ride.

once more unto the breach, dear friends.


LSU -5 still don't know about where futureTAMU went to college or if she even did

Arkansas -9.5 "it aint Ar-kansas, baby... its arkanSAW" "D-Mac got that woood!" ahh 2007 seems like a lifetime ago

Georgia -4.5 ya gotta dance with the lady what brung ya

Kentucky +25.5 ya gotta dance with the lady what brung ya

Alabama -17 there are three possibilities for how this game will go: 1) Alabama will win by a lot 2) Alabama will win in a soul crushingly close finish 3) something else

Old Mist -7.5 I don't even think about typing or saying old mist anymore.

South Carolina +23.5 ya gotta dance with the lady what brung ya

Tennessee -7.5 yeehaw

Florida +6.5 Jim McElwain: maybe he should McEl less.

EDITED: I posted this quickly so I could look at your picks. Now I am going back to put comments but I am not changing the picks. that is not tha captainz way.

it's the most wonderful picks of the year

My fondest wish? A tie, dear readers.

LSU (-5) Texas A&M is a team getting worse, LSU is still hoping for Coach Oh to get the stupid job. The line has moved a bit on this game since I posted it.

Arkansas (-9.5) I picked against Arkansas last week, mistake (miss steak)

Georgia Tech (+4.5) Option I guess?

Kentucky (+25.5) Louisville is sad, Kentucky is bad, who to pick? Going with the gut (bacteria).

Auburn (+17) thanks to the magic of the Captain's proprietary data, this is one pick I can be sure I'll miss! Alabama will definitely win this by 18 points.

Old Mist (-7.5) I picked in favor of Mississippi State last week, mistake (missed take)

South Carolina (+23.5) CLICK CLACK

Tennessee (-7.5) Playing for the sugar bowl, babee

Florida State (-6.5) did Florida State get another rapist quarterback?

top secret proprietary data

do not tell anyone this secret information.

ATS this year:

Auburn: 7-3
Kentucky: 7-3
Tide: 6-3-1
Vandy: 6-4
Arkansas: 5-5
UGA: 5-5
Old Mist: 5-5
SCar: 5-5
LSU: 4-5 (dnp the game against south Alabama)
TAMU: 4-5-1
Florida: 4-6 (dnp the game against Presbyterian but that would not have had a line)
MSU: 3-6-1
Mizzou: 3-7
Tenn: 3-7

use this as you see fit. please destroy this message.

whatever week this is

I am holding on tight to a five game lead, but a giant betting lineup this week threatens my chances.

CAPZ 4-2 (41-45-2)
CHUGZ 2-4 (46-40-2)

LSU (-5) at TAMU
Arkansas (-9.5) at Missouri
Georgia Tech at Georgia (-4.5)
Kentucky at Louisville (-25.5)
Auburn at Alabama (-17)
Mississippi St at Old Mist (-7.5)
South Carolina at Clemson (-23.5)
Tennessee (-7.5) at Vanderbilt
Florida at Florida State (-6.5)

*to the tune of here come the men in black* here come the men in black

without father adieu, here are my picks!


Georgia -22.5 not looking it up to see if ul Lafayette is any good at all. doesn't matter, Georgia almost lost to Nichols state but also beats auburn every year except under extraordinary circumstances.

TAMU -27.5 I have no idea and I don't care

Florida +13.5 but not winning.

Tennessee -16 vols gonna look really good against mizzou and vandy and be super hyped to get skulled 56-6 by Alabama in the seccg

Arkansas +1.5 this is a weird line in my idiot opinion

Vanderbilt +10 why do I think this game will be close? the answer is, of course, that I'm very very dumb

pickth

A seven game lead is nothing in this world. That's just me doing bad two weeks in a row and caps doing good. I won't count these chickens before they're hatched. The only thing I'm sure of is that Alabama would cover any hypothetical line against Chattanooga or whoever they're playing.

UL-Lafayette (+22.5) Georgia is so bad, they barely beat Auburn

UTSA (+27.5) I guess

LSU (-13.5) Florida can't get to 14, so LSU will cover

Missouri (+16) God bless expansion, we would never have this 16 point spread in a late-season conference game involving Missouri for some reason otherwise

Mississippi St. (-1.5) Why not

Old Mist (-10) You can throw out the records when these two bastions of white supremacy line up on the gridiron

what a terrible lineup

durrr durrr durrr i'm tha captain i'm a idiot

Captain Idiot: 2 - 5 (37-43-2)
The Chuckwagon: 6 - 1 (44-36-2) breathtaking

alright well here are some more

UL-Lafayette at Georgia (-22.5)
UTSA at TAMU (-27.5)
Florida at LSU (-13.5)
Missouri at Tennessee (-16)
Arkansas at Mississippi St. (-1.5)
Old Mist (-10) at Vanderbilt

throwing out the 4 games against 1AA teams. this is not a handsome line up.

how do you plan to celebrate your victory besides also beating me in the damn bowl pick them?

it's time for picks, proud

Georgia (+10.5) Auburn wins but I don't think that they cover in Athens, hotbed of dickery, with a whole team that's all taking horse tranquilizers just to sleep at night

South Carolina (-11.5) I can easily imagine this being the least watchable game on any channel at any time

Kentucky (+13.5) Tennessee seems like a team on decline, but they've got a lot to play for, too. I think Tennessee by ten sounds about right.

Alabama (-30) Absolutely no doubt, I don't even look at the line or the team opposing Nick's Juggernauts anymore

Missouri (-3.5) Vandy is going to have a kind of hangover situation with the close loss to Auburn. Or probably not, probably they win.

LSU (-7) ORGERON SMASH

Ole Must (+10.5) This line seems high for Trevor Knight to have exploded all his ligaments

*to the tune of here come the men in black* here comes a fascist prez

I'm really smart and good at picking


Georgia +10.5 the political pollsters must have come up with this line am I right

South Carolina +11.5 seems like it will be ugly

Tennessee -13.5 this is probably wrong

Alabama -30 that is a lot of points. Alabama will knock Mississippi state out in the first few minutes, balance a piece of plywood on state's chest, and then slowly and meticulously pile rocks on top of it for 50 minutes. 30 points is a lot of rocks I think but I'm a dumb idiot. also it isn't really that many rocks/points I guess. who cares

Vanderbilt +3.5 no idea!

Arkansas +7 probably wrong again. momentum? I guess

TAMU -10.5 maybe they'll be angry? old mist is all used up.

time to .... pick

Way to go, capt. I believe 5-2 matches the previous best rate (also 5-2) this year. I hope we tie, and then the sun explodes.

The very captain: 5-2 (35-38-2)
the big C that's not cancer: 3-4 (38-35-2)

Auburn (-10.5) at Georgia
South Carolina at Florida (-11.5)
Kentucky at Tennessee (-13.5)
Mississippi State at Alabama (-30)
Vanderbilt at Missouri (-3.5)
LSU (-7) at Arkansas
Old Mist at TAMU (-10.5)

*to the tune of ok you know the rest

Georgia Southern +27.5 walt you suck. i still think of the 'gles as a 1AA team so i was surprised at first to see a line but then i remembered. i remembered how much of a tool walt is.

Vanderbilt +26 hell they might even win the damn game

TAMU -13.5 looking forward to not being able to tell which team is which again

Arkansas +5.5 i can't remember arkansas being blown out this season so i'm pretty sure they'll keep this one tight

Missouri +7 south carolina's 4 wins have been by 3, 5, 6, and 3 points. that's what the boys down at the sports factory call a "stat."

Georgia +2 kentucky is not going to a bowl. also georgia will beat auburn.

Alabama -7.5 bad stuff goin'a happen

week rude ten

Georgia Southern (+27.5) I'm a little upset that there's a line on this game. Expecting a 42-21 kind of score.
Auburn (-26) believe!
TAMU (-13.5) I feel good about TAMU's chances. They're gonna be focused, because of the playoff thing.
Florida (-5.5) I expected this line to be like three points higher, but I am not a clever man
South Carolina (-7) Missouri is collapsing, right? That's the only sure thing I feel like I know about the East, which means inevitably the Tigers win this by 17.
Kentucky (+2) But not winning! 21-20, UGA, that's a guess. Well. I don't know. I hope they cancel this game.
Alabama (-7.5 but does it matter) c'mon man

week ten you're going to win

last week:
the c(r)ap: 3-2 (30-36-2)
tha cha(m)p: 4-1 (35-31-2)


Georgia Southern at Old Mist (-27.5)
Vanderbilt at Auburn (-26)
TAMU (-13.5) at Mississippi State
Florida (-5.5) at Arkansas
Missouri at South Carolina (-7)
Georgia (-2) at Kentucky
Alabama (-7.5 but does it matter) at LSU

week nyet picks

Alabama doesn't play, so no lock of the week.

Kentucky (+5.5) Utterly befuddling game. Missouri is favored, with a 2-5 record?  Kentucky is Kentucky?
Florida (-7.5) In a week I am not confident about, this would be the game I would pick as most confident
Auburn (-4.5) Can we soar with wings of eagles? Can we go to Oxford, MS, for the first time ever? Auburn seems to me a bad matchup for the boys of Alt Mist.
Tennessee (-13.5) I feel like South Carolina may not be a good football team.
New Mexico State (+43.5) I guess?

*to the tune of here come the men in black* here come the captainz pix (always going to say this from now on)

RIGGED!!1


Kentucky +5.5 they will win this but lose to Austin peay and not get to a bowl

Georgia +7.5 maybe not winning, we'll have to tune in and see

Old Mist +4.5 last week taught me nothing. have fun watching this crap.

South Carolina +13.5 Tennessee dicks around and wins on a missed field goal or something stupid

New Mexico State +43.5 all dogs go to heaven (and get picked by me ha ha). this might as well be a 1AA game. One of my brother's middle/high school friends had the AIM screen name "FutureTAMU" and now I wonder if she actually went there. I hope so, I hope her screen name wasn't a lie.

Week nein nein nein

Cappy LW: 3-2-1 Overall: 27-34-2 winner winner captain's dinner
Chuck LW: 2-3-1 Overall: 31-30-2 approaching .500, mateys

Kentucky at Missouri (-5.5)
Florida (-7.5) v. Georgia
Auburn (-4.5) at All Missed
Tennessee (-13.5) at South Carolina
New Mexico State at TAMU (-43.5)

No line for Samford at Mississississippi State

EDITED FER ACCURACY

*to the tune of here come the men in black* here come tha captainz pix

the question on everyone's mind: which one will I get right?

UMass +20 the ol "can south Carolina even score that many points" logic, they probably can and will
Alabama -19 the first time I looked the line was 17 but I saw it as 7 and I laughed out loud
Mizzouri -6.5 no idea how good middle Tennessee is and I'm not going to look it up
Arkansas +10 this is still weird to me, even if I accept that auburn is actually good
Kentucky +3 I think state is a spent force
LSU -5.5 gotta keep ridin the tiger train

week 8 is enough !

Lotsa double digit margins here, fellas.

UMass (+20) South Carolina suuuuucks
Alabama (-19) never in doubt, my friends
Miss Ouri (-6.5) Vanderbilt beat Middle Tennessee by 23.
Auburn (-10) I regret this before I finished deleting "Arkansas at." Bye week maybe?
Mississippi State (-3) this line looks suspiciously low
Awl Missed (+5.5) but not winning! I expect one of those ridiculous games where somebody gets a big lead and then a big comeback and eventually LSU wins 36-35.

week 8 wow the season's really flyin by huh

last week was certainly just another week "around the pick-off"

Cap: 1-4-1 (24-32-1) guuuuh
Char: 2-3-1 (29-27-1) great job

here they are in all their glory... they're lines, baby

UMass at South Carolina (-20)
Texas A&M at Alabama (-19)
Middle Tennessee at Mizzouri (-6.5)
Arkansas at Auburn (-10)
Mississippi State (-3) at Kentucky
Old Mist at LSU (-5.5)

"gotta pick em all!" (pokemon)

Mississippi State +7 why is Mississippi st playing road games at umass and byu ever, much less in the same season
Georgia -14 a preview of what Georgia's win over aubarn will look like
Tennessee +14 I keep doing this why do I keep doing this
Missouri +13.5 do not watch this game
Old Mist -7.5 this could be a good game but I think it will end up not close
LSU -25 coach o and the boys got something for em

SEC TURD SEC TURD SEC TURD

BYU (-7) weird scheduling works out weird, and the travel to BYU seems to me to favor the Latter Day Saints (SaturDay Saints would be a good BYU football blog name, if it isn't already)
Georgia (-14) villainous
Alabama (-13) never in doubt, friends
Florida (-13.5) hardest pick of the week, no way I would actually bet this, and I don't think anyone else should, either.
Old Mist (-7.5) the Hogs appear overrated to me: best win is I guess double-OT against a mediocre TCU team?
Southern Mist (+25) equally the hardest pick of the week because of LSU's coaching situation.

week 7

ThaCap: 3-2 (23-28)
Chorles: 4-1 (27-24)

great work, Dackler

A fairly mediocre lineup this week?

Mississippi State at BYU (-7) on Friday for some reason, probably Mormons, but the closest line of the week.
Vandy at Georgia (-14)
Alabama (-13) at Tennessee
Missouri at Florida (-13.5)
Old Mist (-7.5) at Arkansas
Southern Mist at LSU (-25)

week s(ECTURD)ix

another great week of picks from youknowwho.

LSU at Florida: My prediction is that this game will be indefinitely postponed
Auburn (-3) I believe in Auburn's kicking game.
Texas A&M (-6.5) I feel like Butch is a bad gameday coach
Kentucky (-3) when I went back to recheck my picks, I couldn't remember who Kentucky was favored over. I looked this game up and Vanderbilt's quarterback only has one eye, which is awesome.
Alabama (-13.5) there is nothing I feel more confident betting on than I do that Alabama will cover, and I will never not feel this way until they rehire one of the Mikes. I would be more likely to pick Arkansas to win straight up than to cover but not win.
South Carolina (+7) but not winning! I have very little faith in UGA but less in South Carolina, so this splits the difference. This will be an ugly game played in a dadgum hurricane. Hardest pick of the week for this guy.

pick six (six games) ha ha

"goodbye money" - me to my money if these were real bets


LSU -3

Auburn -3 hardest

Tennessee +6.5

Kentucky -3

Arkansas +13.5 why am I doing this, what made me this way

Alabama (-13.5) at Arkansas

Georgia (-7) at South Carolina

good lord man is right, man


Vanderbilt +10 dores got something for em
Georgia +3.5 i'm stupid
LaMo +33 this makes sense to me
South Carolina +17.5 this was the easiest pick
Alabama -35 sorry i'll never not pick tide again
Old Mist -14.5 old mist
LSU -13 isn't there some stat about teams after their coach gets fired that they always cover, i think that's a sports stat

just terrible

Florida (-10) Does this line seem low? Is it because it's in Nashville, toughest place to play in the SEC?
Tennessee (-3.5) Also seems low
LaMo (+33) I don't feel like Auburn can get to 33!
TAMU (-17.5) Going heavy with the road teams so far, don't trust it
Alabama (-35) Florida beat Kentucky by 38
Memphis (+14.5) I can't believe any actual gamblers would bet this game
Missouri (+13) I can't believe any actual gamblers would bet this game

week five southeastern confSECTURD SECTURD SECTURD

That Capitan: last week, 0-8, overall, 15-24 good Lord man

Kent State +43.5

Georgia +7

Florida +6.5

Mississippi State -22

Western Kentucky -7.5

LSU -3.5

South Carolina +1.5

Arkansas +5.5

secturd looks Latinate

Kent State (+43.5) obviously not winning
Georgia (+7) but not winning!
Florida (+6.5) but not winning! Tennessee breaking the so-called streak.
UMass (+22) but not winning. Why is this at UMass? Like, a home-and-home with Tulane or USF or somebody like that I would get. This is like playing at game in Wyoming.
Vanderbilt (+7.5) but not winning. Who would bet this game?
Auburn (+3.5) but not winning, it'll be a gruesome 13-11 heartbreaker. It'll be like the ole Tubby years but for the wrong reasons. Honk if you miss Brandon Cox. Heck, I miss Barrett Trotter.
Kentucky (-1.5) who cares
Texas A&M (-5.5) monstrous

ok

Georgia -6.5

Georgia Tech -6.5
sure why not

sec turds

Texas State (+31)
Auburn (-3.5) it's 2013 again! I feel it.
Florida (-36.5)
New Mexico State (+19.5) bad teams man. Toughest pick of the week.

week two is time for bad schedules

Florida (-17) covers

Vanderbilt (-5.5) covers I guess? Toughest pick of the week.

Arkansas (+7.5) covers but does not win!
Arkansas State (+19) covers but does not win!
Eastern Michigan (+25) covers but does not win!
Virginia Tech covers (+11.5) but does not win!

If we did a confidence thing, then I would have Alabama covering as my top confidence pick.

because they didn't have lines for them on the first site i checked...

we aren't doing the 1AA games!!!

All games are on Saturday, so no hurry getting those picks in.

Kentucky at Florida (-17)

West Virginia covers (-10)
#16 UCLA covers (+3) and wins!
#5 LSU covers (-10)
Louisiana Tech covers (+26)

Southern Mississippi covers (+6.5) [one of two I even hesitated about]
Massachusetts covers  (+36.5) [one of two I even hesitated about]
#1 Alabama covers (-11.5) and maybe 11.5 more. I'd take a 23 point line before a pick em.
Auburn covers (+7.5) but does not win! Life is cruel.
#4 Florida State covers (-4.5)

It's time, my babies

the end

not the largest margin of all time, but the largest winning pct in CRISIS games (75%). the stuff legends are made of.

yep

What's at stake: if at least one of your picks today wins, it will guarantee the second best pick them winning pct in recorded history. If you win at least one of the CRISIS games, it will guarantee the highest CRISIS winning pct in recorded history. If you win both CRISIS, it will be the largest margin of victory in history.

I need to win at least two games today to avoid the worst pick them ever.

gaaah
