I Won’t Do it… I… “Does Stanford Have Enough Luck to Overcome the Ducks?” Aaaahh, It’s Irresistible!
Writers are running out of ways to preview this game. But there’s still one interesting angle to explore.
Prodigious Pac-10 Picks – Week 5
Whew, that felt better. Missed only UCLA-Texas straight up and Oregon-Arizona State against the spread last week. That made for a cool 5-1 in both cases with only a measly half a point keeping me from perfection (ATS). Dammit Chip, you gotta’ get these guys scoring in the fourth quarter! On the Season Straight Up: [...]

A big game deserves big links. Here’s a national media edition of Link Roundup.
UnRich, UnCool and Un4-0

Just like that, I don’t know what I’m doing. Straight Up: 24-4 Against the Spread: 10-11 Posted spreads are from sportsbook.com at [...]

Link Roundup: Pac-10′s Weekend Was Successful Enough
The Pac-10 came out okay after a tough weekend. Key victories give the conference enough top level depth for BCS contenders to pad the resume.
Pompous Pac-10 Picks – Week 3
This week, you’ll just have to indulge a little OTP ego because I’m pretty sure this is about the only time I’ll be able to show it off. Kind of went undefeated last week. As in, 8-0 straight up and 5-0 against the spread. Coincidentally, I moved to Las Vegas at 11:00 p.m. on Saturday night. [...]
