Fearle$$ football picks: It's time - Jayhawks (+5) vs. Iowa State

I began the 2012 season with $50 of Monopoly money, and plan to fake bet a fake $10 spot on five college/pro games against the line to see how smart I am. Last season, I was plus $110. This season ...

Gitt'n' it done! Slayed 'em last week. Eat it, haters! I was 4-1. I am now a very impressive plus $90 for the season. Time to get back to work.

Last week's results:
1. Texas A&M at Alabama (-13.5) AGGIES. WIN
2. Baylor at Oklahoma (-21.5) SOONERS. LOSS
3. Arkansas at South Carolina (-14). SPURRIER. WIN
4. Oakland Raiders at Baltimore Ravens (-7.5). RAVENS. WIN
5. Atlanta Falcons (-2.5) at NO Saints. SAINTS. WIN 

This week's picks
1. Arkansas at Miss State (-6). BULLDOGS. State hasn't looked as good lately but the Hogs are done.
2. Iowa State (-5) at Kansas. JAYHAWKS. Charlie Weis is getting so close to a real win.
3. Kansas State (-12.5) at Baylor. CATS. Too physical & now way to determined.
4. Cleveland Browns at Dallas Cowboys (-7.5). COWBOYS. Just no faith in Browns.
5. Indy Colts at New Engand Patriots (-9). PATS. Time for Colts to taste a little reality.

Finally we are agree on a game. YES! The Dallas Cowboys will beat the crappy Cleveland Browns and cover ---- EZ MONEY!

I agree with you about Charlie Weis. He is a big fat pig and a miserable coach but I agree; he is close to win.

Good luck on your picks. I bet you go 3 and 2.

The Pats are going to dial up the Colts big time. Time to welcome the rookie quarterback to The League and end all this play off talk for the Colts.

[Sad in Lawrence]

I too am a Kansas grad. I like your optimism but no way do I see Iowa State losing this one. Kansas is a heart breaker. We are forever meant to lose by a few as opposed to winning. Weis is pathetic but he has been a good hire for us so far.

The Miss State game was a gimmie bitchios! Good luck with the rest of you picks loser

You are a total punk. Cyclones rocked your suck Jayhawks. What is that... a bird???? Your blog sucks. Your picks suck. And your Jayhawks are the worst.

[Cult of Personality]

For whatever it's worth, I'm having a worse weekend than you. I'm 0 for 6. At this point I'd love to be 1 for 3. Hang in there.

Dear Big Mac of Love,

I think you have a great blog. I read it all the time.

Thank you for sticking with the Cowboys today. I thought it was going to be a bigger win but we got it done.

Sorry your picks aren't working out this week.

Please don't bet against us. We need all the help we can get.

We aren't out of the play off picture yet!!!!!!!

congrats for not totally screwing up the easiest pick of the week; Pats over Colts

[Tom J. from Greensburg, Ms]

2 and 3 isn't the end of the world. Give the guy a break. It's only a sports blog.
