Against the Spread: 2009 College Football Week 9 Picks

Friday, October 30th, 2009

Last week wasn't a great week in college football as I had my first losing Saturday of the year. Although it was only a half a unit loss I came back with 3 big winners in the NFL (9 units). Hopefully I pick up the stride on Halloween to give ...

Against the Spread: 2009 College Football Week 8

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

Another winning weekend for the King. Hopefully we can continue the streak. This CFB Saturday is kind of light on games I like, but should be enough to tide me over while I am away golfing and bowling in the lovely central new Jersey area. Enjoy and good luck. (For ...

Against the Spread: 2009 College Football Week 7

Friday, October 16th, 2009

The record might not be the best, but as any good gambler knows....It is all about the units. Remember that. And just like "Ballon Boy"...these picks are just for show. Oklahoma vs. Texas 12PM The game of the day. Is Texas the team that stands up and plays the winner of Florida/Alabama? ...

USC shows us what the new NFL overtime should look like

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

With the score tied 12-12 at the end of USC's practice, coach Pete Carroll found a great way to break the tie between the offense and defense. Instead of playing it out he had offensive line coach Pat Ruel and defensive line coach Jethro Franklin slip-and-slide it out on the ...

Against the Spread: 2009 College Football Week 6

Friday, October 9th, 2009

It was a pretty uneventful, yet positive start to the handicapping season for me. Hopefully this week brings me better luck. And yes, this week there will be NFL picks as a couple games distinctly stand out. Auburn vs Arkansas 12PM The hype surrounds Arkansas' Ryan Mallet, but in my opinion Auburn's Chris ...

Get well Stafon Johnson

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

Unfortunately Stafon Johnson experienced something I have feared all my life. While bench pressing 275 lbs the bar slipped out of Johnson's right hand and fell onto his throat, crushing his neck and larynx. Thankfully L.A. sports anchor Curt Sandoval tells us that the USC RB is expected to make ...

Tim Tebow got jacked up

Monday, September 28th, 2009

Kentucky's Taylor Wyndham inflicted some pain on Tim Tebow, but I think it was his Gator teammate that caused more damage than anything. The way that he hit his head on the offensive lineman's knee was pretty ferocious. Hopefully all is well and he can get back on the field for ...

Hate to see what Ricky does when Alabama loses

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

So last Saturday night Ricky gets all dressed up in his Alabama Crimson Tide gear to watch the game vs Virginia Tech with some friends. What was suppose to be a fun night watching football turns into a YouTube video after an apparent bad call. Young Ricky proceeds to go ...

Legarrette Blount sucker punches himself out of college ball

Friday, September 4th, 2009

The start of the college football season should have been highlighted by Thursday's matchup between the Oregon Ducks and Boise St. Broncos. Rather it has been marred by the LeGarrette Blount's sucker punch on Byron Hout. Not only did he connect with Hout's face (sans helmet), Blount also had to be ...
