Quick Picks

First, a quick thanks to Brett Farve for making me look like a moron. And a word of thanks to Tony Romo for seriously helping my fantasy team. Playoffs start next week, Tony. Keep it up.

Now, to Real Football...

Army at Navy:
Navy has won the last five years. Army can't stop the run. What else needs to be said?
Navy 41, Army 17

Virginia Tech at Boston College, ACC Championship Game in Jacksonville:
Is anybody even going to this game? What sense does it make for the ACC to hold this game in Jacksonville when the majority of their schools are in the Carolinas or north? Just another reason the ACC lags behind the SEC, not only in quality of play, but even in mere relevance.
But there is a game in Jacksonville today. The Hokies want to prove the the last 4 minutes of their first contest was a fluke, while BC is out to regain the form they had leading up to that game. The Eagles are a mediocre 2-2 since their miracle win at Virginia Tech, and expect that to drop to below .500 today. It's tough to beat a team twice in a season, especially when you lucked up the first time around. Matt Ryan's good, but he won't be able to carry BC on his own. The two-quarterback rotation at VaTech works today. Hokies win and head south to Miami.
VT 27, BC 17

UCLA at USC:
What can you say? This won't even be close. At USC? With the Trojans filling "disrespected"? No one likes to see the little guy get beat up. This one's gonna get ugly. And fast. USC is seeing Roses.
USC 52, UCLA 24

Oklahoma at Missouri, Big XII Championship Game in San Antonio:
Missouri wants to go to New Orleans. Oklahoma wants to forget what could have been. OU lost two games they clearly should have won this year, missing out on what should have been an undefeated, number 1 season. But they lose their third game this year today, and they've been favorites every time. Mizzou pulls off the dream, and starts trying to figure out the Mountaineers.
Mizzou 27, Oklahoma 24

Tennessee at LSU, SEC Championship Game in Atlanta:
My boy Andy Woznicki swears Phil Fulmer is Fred Thompson's illegitimate son. Does that mean he gets secret service protection? And, if so, can he reassign them to cover Erik Ainge? Dorsey owns Erik in Atlanta. But that won't seal the win...
You wanna talk about distractions? As I write this on Saturday morning, reports are the LSU's Les Miles will be named Michigan's coach this week, with Pelini heading to be Tom Osborne's puppet in Nebraska. The Tigers don't know where to turn. They're on the verge of a potential national title, and their two top coaches are bailing on them? But that's not all. LSU's got it's second-stringer playing under center. All that's got UT smelling upset.
But not me. LSU is too talented. Tigers win a close one, Phil Fulmer calls dad to cry.
LSU 17, UT 14
