OK, interesting week upcoming. Lots of NFL divisional games. But first, the college action you’ve been cravin’ like Gator steaks at a Seminole tailgate party:
[Editor’s note: Ron went an incredible 13-3 last week.]
[Updated 11/15/10 – Ron went 6-10 this week, NFL Week 10.]
Let’s try:
No – Oregon 19 1/2 California
Cal has been a much better team at home, but they haven’t been playing against the Ducks. Oregon rolls on.
No – ILLINOIS 20 1/2 Minnesota
The Gophers have nothing left to play for, while the Illini look to become bowl eligible. It shouldn’t be close.
No – Oklahoma State 5 1/2 TEXAS
OSU favored in Austin? I just don’t see it, despite the down year for the Longhorns.
On to the NFL:
Yes – ATLANTA 1 Baltimore
The Falcons are tough at home – Matt Ryan is 17-1 as a starter there. Have to like their chances tonight.
Yes – INDIANAPOLIS 7 Cincinnati
The Bengals should be able to run the ball and keep this one within a touchdown.
Yes – JACKSONVILLE 1 1/2 Houston
The Jags are rested and healthier than the Texans. They should manage at home.
No – Tennessee 1 MIAMI
The Dolphins turn to Chad Pennington. This can’t be a good sign. The Titans should win on the road.
No – Minnesota 1 CHICAGO
The spotlight will be on the quarterbacks, but Adrian Peterson is the guy who gives the Bears fits. Vikings on the road.
No – BUFFALO 3 Detroit
The Bills have to win one sometime and the Lions are switching QBs again due to Stafford’s injury. Buffalo gets their W.
No – NY Jets 3 CLEVELAND
The Browns are playing well and the Jets are unlikely to put up a ton of points. One more week going with Cleveland.
Yes – TAMPA BAY 6 1/2 Carolina
Two teams going in opposite directions. The Buccs big.
No – Kansas City 1 DENVER
Tough place to play, but the Broncos haven’t show any signs of improvement lately. Chiefs to win.
Yes – SAN FRANCISCO 6 St. Louis
Should be a game dominated by RBs. Six points might be too much for the 49ers to cover at this point.
No – ARIZONA 3 Seattle
How will the Cardinals respond to last week’s loss? Luckily for them, they play the reeling Seahawks and should be fine.
No – NY GIANTS 14 Dallas
The Cowboys have a new coach, but it’s impossible to expect much from them this year at this point. The Giants are on a roll.
No – PITTSBURGH 5 New England
The Patriots did not look good last week. Take the Steelers at home.
Yes – Philadelphia 3 WASHINGTON
The Redskins come off their bye with more questions than answers. Philly on the road.
