SLICK’S PICKS-Post-Post Turkey Day

A Guest Blog By Fanspeak Contributing Writer Matt (aka Slick)

Bad Slick. Bad Slick. Bad Slick.  I cant help that Bama couldnt put the game away when they had the chance.  RIDICULOUS! should have been 42-7 at the half- GAME OVER… but mistakes came back to haunt them, and me.  I knew at that point that the BUFFS were turning over too, and my Saturday was falling apart as quickly as it had started.  I should have stuck to totals… but i told myself, “thats not what the people want…”

Good thing the REDWINGS beat COLUMBUS (is that a sign…Michigan/OhioST?…maybe?maybe?).  Oh well, lets get back on track and put a smile on those faces..

So, here we go… no totals.

Take MARSHALL -10 V TULANE. did you seen the green wave perform last week?  seriously?  it was UGLY, with a capital, well, everything.  The HERD in a stampede!  Take em.  Take em all day long.  Huntington,WV will be a happy place tomorrow, and so will you.

Since we are on the GREEN kick, lets add one more for good measure.  TAKE NORTH TEXAS +14 V KANSAS STATE. yes the MEAN GREEN.  Look for lots of meanness.  and a close score.  Sure the cats will probably win and shouldnt they…but the mean green will come to play.  North Texas always reminds me of Unnecessary Roughness – the movie.  (Texas State Fighting Armadillos).  Love that flick.  and Love the MEAN GREAN tomorrow.  take the 2 TDs.

Take DUKE (the football team) +7.5 V UNC.  its college basketballs biggest rivalry, and in the spirit of the beginning of college basketball, lets jump on this game.  the finals are always close, and with more than a TD on our side, we should be in good shape.  expect a close game.  UNC lost its title hopes last week to STATE, and DUKE actually has something to play for.

Finally, lets get crazy… real crazy.  lets play a game.  lets see how many points TCU can score.  50? 60? 70 maybe?  TAKE TCU – 43.5 V NEW MEXICO. yes, you heard me… lay more than 6 TDs and watch the madness unfold.  TCU will drop at least 55 on UNM, and allow only a couple FGs, at best.  Should be plenty to cover the spread.  I just wonder how you approach a game when you are favored by 43.5.

YEAH YEAH YEAH… and then there is MICHIGAN…this is my LAST CHANCE before bowl season, I KNOW.  So, you say, what happened to MICHIGAN?  the fix was in, right?  unbelievable.  even the fix wasnt good enough, and i was bitten again.  but i made a committment to this team, and I am here for you Michigan.  Vegas will pay for this.  Michigan has dropped 7 straight games AGAINST THE SPREAD.  How is that even possible.  WAKE UP VEGAS!  SERIOUSLY!  WAKE UP! Not this time, not again.  no one doesnt cover 8 straight times!  and as you all know, and the documentation will prove it, im riding this train to the last stop…so……………………………… TAKE MICHIGAN… +17.  TAKE IT ALL DAY.

WHY NOT!?
