COLLEGE FOOTBALL…
Ouch! The PP went 1-4 last week. We correctly pick The Ohio State University finally beating Michigan in a rather dull game that did not live up to the hype. We missed on picks for Maryland, Georgia Tech, Texas A&M and Tennessee.
Conference titles are on the line this week.
Big 10– Ohio State 35, Indiana 21
Big 12– Texas Tech 38, BYU 28
SEC– Georgia 31, Alabama 17
MAC– Western Michigan 35, Miami (Ohio) 24
ACC– Virginia 27, Duke 16
NFL
Well now. Things have gotten verrrrrrry interesting in the NFC North. The number one seed in the NFC belongs to a certain team from northern Illinois. A team that is known as Daaaaaaa Bears…
The PP ran the table with his NFL picks last week which included wins by the underdog Packers and Bears.
This week, the PP says the Lions will not lose on Sunday. That’s because they play on Thursday night this week.
The PP says you can stick a fork in the overrated Lions. They’re done like dinner. The PP has refused to drink that Detroit Lions Kool-Aid ever since Dan Campbell came to town and started threatening to bite kneecaps.
Campbell had better be thankful the Lions play indoors nowadays. Fans might be pelting him with snowballs pretty soon just like another Lions coach.
Harry Gilmer lasted two lousy seasons as Detroit’s head coach in the mid 60s. He was run out of town in 1966 to a hail of snowballs at old Tiger Stadium after the last game of a miserable 4-9-1 campaign.
The Cowboys will add another nail in the Lions coffin on Thursday night.
Cowboys 34, Lions 20
First place in the NFC North is on the line Sunday in Green Bay. The PP has bought a ticket to ride on the Bears Bus. The Packers are favored by almost a touchdown but the PP says….
Bears 27, Packers 24
For what it’s worth… Vikings 24, Commanders 21
After going 11-5 last week, the PP is now 104-61-1 overall for the season.
