I just can't see LSU winning. Not a guarantee because of Death Valley night voodoo magic, but LSU has zero passing game. Can't see Bama losing to a team with a one-dimensional offense.I didn't help by throwing away a free point or two by picking MsStPicking LSU this week isn't a throwaway though, they will win!
Means Restructuring yay!
Luckily my job is ok, but for some of my friends/colleagues.![]()

You need to go with the pros in Vegas that pick these things for a living and are typically very close, and then maybe pick a couple upsets that are borderline. I mean, I'm not winning the pick 'em, but that's how I do it.
Keenan Allen's injury is a PCL. 2-3 weeks

Oh good, he'll be back in time to declare for the draft.
There is something more important than money on the line.
Conference Pride.
Also, I added in the people that added their conference affiliations, and dropped players who haven't been playing the last few weeks entirely, which makes for a much tighter race for BEST GAF CONFERENCE

At this point in the game most people need to go crazy and pick upsets so they can get points rather than base picks on their actual expectations. The fact that we get MoV points alleviates the need to do that, and increases the risk of gambling even further, but those points are obviously difficult to get anyways.
Team might not be getting any better but the rock is continuously improving.

That's an SEC thing.
Tedford just confirmed he's definitely out tomorrow. There's no long term prognosis just yet, but it doesn't sound very good.
For what it's worth, I voted "no," and, to the credit of the state, only 51% of the people are voting "yes."

The Poll was asked shortly after Steve Spurrier made this comment.
"Alabama, gosh, they look like they could beat a couple of those NFL teams that I've watched on Sundays," Spurrier said Wednesday on "The Dan Patrick Show." "I think a lot of the oddsmakers out there that usually know what's going on, I'd guess Alabama would be favored by a little bit."
Someone hasn't seen the Browns play!having watched a bit of college football only for the last couple of months, I flicked over to NFL yesterday and the standard of play was about 10x better.
NFL dont make anywhere near as many fumbles or incompletions, from what I saw.
I agree with one of the commenters in the article though, Alabama are a very disciplined and well coached team.

Story
Wouldn't even want the greatest QB in SEC history?While I think Alabama's offensive line could at least match one of the worst offensive lines in today's NFL, Alabama's Running Backs and WR's would get wrecked, as there might only be 2 NFL starter-types in those groupings, and both are 18 years old and would get wrecked right now. Don't think AJ has an NFL arm, but could be a serviceable backup QB for a couple years.
Saban's DB's are good in college, not quite so much in the NFL (holding out hope for Barron though).
Main reason why Alabama's so good in college: They play cohesively as a team while also having alot of raw talent. Not having Face Guarding as a PI foul helps too ;P
Not to say there aren't some really bad NFL teams, or at least really bad units. I don't think I'd want anyone from the NY Jets Offense to play for Alabama. Geez, they suck.

Mark Sanchez never played in the SEC.
We just went through that (well...still going through it) when we changed to Agile.
Too slow, Cyan. Too slow.
Me, or Mark Sanchez?
