Picks in Review: Week 6

Disgruntled grumbling. Before the litany of errors I made are discussed, a couple of successes:
  1. Don't talk shit to Oklahoma, especially if you are a small Christian school in Texas. Es no bueno, amigo.
  2. Palin covered the spread. Robot Palin stayed on message and in the game. Biden looked good and won overall, but this was not the pantsing that we could have seen based on Palin's previous failures.
On to the games...

Thursday, October 2
7:30 PM ET ESPN Pittsburgh (3-1, 1-0) @ #10 South Florida (5-0, 0-0) -13.5. USF 31, Pitt 17. Confidence 13. Final: Pitt 26-21, LOSS. I was flipping a coin on this one and came up tails when I picked heads. The 'Stache lives on. 0-1

12:00 PM ET #6 Penn State (5-0, 1-0) -13 @Purdue (2-2, 0-0). PSU 52, Purdue 24. Cover Confidence 4. Final PSU 20-6. Lucky win. 2-1.  This is not what I envisioned, but I'll take it, especially with what happens next...

2:30 PM ET NBC Stanford (3-2, 2-1) @Notre Dame (3-1) -7.5.  Notre Dame 35, Stanford 17. Cover Confidence: 7. Final ND 28-21.  Loss 2-2. I wasn't too far off with this.  Lesson: Beware the hook!
