The embedded video below is only marginally relevant, but is nonetheless another piece of evidence that supports the CFB side in the NFL v. CFB debate. In sum, NFL fans largely consist of drunken blue-collar sorts who hail from the lowest socio-economic demographic. As a general rule, the the higher up in the stands you go, the bigger the losers (this guy is in the top row apparently).
CFB, conversely, has only drunken students, who like it or not, will soon graduate to the law, medical, and business professions and let’s face it, drunkennesss is a forgiveable sin when you’re 20 years-old, at a football game, and otherwise on the cusp of cushy white-collar life. CFB also has bands, alumni, and cheerleaders who actually have some athletic skill. (as opposed to the augmented tarts who appear better suited for fame of the porno variety).
MOVING ON….
Haven’t tallied the last two weeks results, but have made it to 8 games above .500 ATS. Also, it s my son’s 1st Birth day today, so gotta be brief.
Louisville (+6) v. Pitt: Pitt won last week in an emotional game. True, they beat the Irish, who are guaranteed to lose against a team with a winning record. Still, Pitt is due for an outright loss or close call against the Cards, who lost to the Cuse last week. This pick is more about Pitt’s inability to string together good performances, that Louisville’s ability to play football, so tread lightly here.
Kentucky (+13) v. UGA: UK not getting enough credit due to the UF blowout but hell, who isn’t UF blowing out these days? Good UK defense stops Noshow’s running game and keeps it close. Strong pick.
Kansas (+1) v. Nebraska: Had to check the IS when I saw this line. Kansas’ offense is superb, Nebraska’s defense is horrible. Nebraska’s offense is okay, Kansas’ defense slightly less horrible. Take the senior QB and say it slowly, “rock, chalk, Jayhawk.” Strong pick.
Oregon St. (-7.5) at UCLA: Love UCLA’s coaches, but hat their players. OSU has best running game in the PAC 1+9, UCLA has worst defense. My son, who is currently drooling and slamming a pot lid on the kitchen floor, could figure this one out. Beavers over Bears.
Cincinatti (+7.5) at WVU: WVU has improved. So has Cinci. Like Cinci’s rush defense to keep this one close and, Cinci’s QB can throw a little. Take the TD.

Loyal members of the flock (which is approximately 35 strong according to google), SNL welcomes you to the “Circle of Trust,” which confers to you many benefits. Well, maybe not many, but at least one: WINNERS!!! After last night’s Baylor romp, SNL is now a strong 7-3-1 ATS, which is a damn site better than the goombahs peddling their GOYS, POWS, and Locks. No thanks is necessary, but adulation, kudos, and even worship would be nice surrogates. Now….
