RBR Pick'em Week 5

by bammer on Oct 13, 2011 4:31 PM CDT

Sorry for getting this in so late….

I’m starting to feel like the Florida State of this seasons Pick’em. Had high aspirations going in and really felt confident I would live up to the hype of my awesomeness. Yet I have fallen flat on my face each week and have been exposed as a fraud..But unlike FSU, I will not fold under the pressure and lose to Duke..(yes Im picking them to lose this weekend).

So, if you don’t suck like me, you may still have a shot. As you can see the overall leader only has 94 points and there are about 20-30 people in the low to mid 80’s, So that coveted RBR T-shirt is still up for grabs.

I will say Bon Jovi’s Hairspray had an impressive showing with 18 points for the week. 18/22 ain’t too shabby. On the other hand, I will say that I’m really glad to see who came in dead last this week. I usually don’t snub my nose at obvious jokes but anyone with the name aborted_stripperbabies should always come in last…In everything they do.. ever.. So whoever you are, please enjoy a Bag O’dicks double portion …

Some interesting spreads this week.

GT +7.5 over Virginia. GT scores points and UVA doesn’t play D. Im thinking GT goes +20.

Bama is +25.5 at Ole Miss. Im actually surprised this one is so low. We beat Vandy by what 34 at home and Vandy beat up on Ole Miss…I could see Bama pulling a 40 – 3 victory.

UGA +11 @ Vandy..I may be taking the under on this one. If Vandy can hold us to 14 for a half, I have a feeling they can keep it close with the Dawgs.

UF +2 @ Auburn? With a 2ndstring QB? At Auburn? After getting pummeled by LSU and Bama in back to back weeks. I don’t think so. Im picking Auburn to win straight up. Though I could see Demps and Rainey having 100 yards a piece.

Oregon +15 over ASU. Oregon seems a little beat up but it is at home. ASU could keep it close though.

all I know is that I'm tied with Stuck..

Since we both failed to submit our picks one week. I wish we could get a 1 week mulligan and throw out our lowest score.

Talent can only get you so far. Give me a player who has less talent, but the heart of a champion and the will to succeed.

I support this 100%

Seeing as the wife and I were moving and without internet last week, I could certainly use a one-week mulligan. If it’s not too much extra work, of course.
