Weekend Results

Well it was another good weekend of college football, and of course it was the first weekend of the new picking segment. Here are the standings after the inaugural week:

Me: 4-1
Kevin: 3-2
Jim: 2-3

As you can see, I am in the lead, but it's early. Here is a recap of our picks for all of you who care.

My Results:
1. Wisconsin (-20.5) vs. Northwestern
Wisconsin wins easily 41-9, and covers the 20.5 point spread. 1-0.

2. Pittsburgh (-7) @ Syracuse
Tyler Palko didn't have as good of a game as I thought, but Pitt still won 21-11, and covered the 7 point spread. 2-0.

3. Georgia Tech (-14) vs. Maryland
Georgia Tech came back to win the game 27-23, but didn't cover the spread. 2-1.

4. West Virginia (-21) @ Miss. St.
Thanks to a last minute punt return by West Virginia, they won the game by 28 points. 3-1.

5. South Florida (-6.5) vs. UCONN
Just as a suspected, UCONN is horrible. South Florida wins 38-16 and easily covers the 6.5 point spread. 4-1.

Kevin's Results:
1. Wisconsin (-20.5) vs. Northwestern
Wisconsin wins easily 41-9, and covers the 20.5 point spread. 1-0.

2. Iowa (-11) vs. Purdue
Iowa rips apart Purdue's defense and wins by 30. 2-0.

3. Miami (FL) (-18.5) vs. North Carolina
Miami does just enough to cover the spread and wins 27-7. 3-0.

4. Alabama (-29) vs. Duke
Duke actually scores 14 points but still loses by 16. Bama doesn't cover. 3-1.

5. Georgia Tech (-14) vs. Maryland
Georgia Tech came back to win the game 27-23, but didn't cover the spread. 3-2.

Jim's Results:
1. Wisco (-20.5) vs. Northwestern
For the third time now...Wisconsin wins easily 41-9, and covers the 20.5 point spread. 1-0.

2. Clemson (-16.5) @ Wake Forest
Clemson scores 24 points in the 4th quarter to win 27-17...but they didn't cover. 1-1.

3. Auburn (-15.5) vs. Arkansas
Arkansas man-handles Auburn 27-10. Tough one. 1-2.

4. LSU (-2) @ Florida
Florida dominates LSU in the Swamp 23-10. Jim is having a tough week. 1-3.

5. West Virginia (-21) @ Miss. St.
As I said before, that punt return allowed WVU to cover. Jim needed this one bad and got it. 2-3.

Make sure you check back on Thursday for this week's picks. Hopefully we will have our fourth member as well. Either way, check it out and put your money on my picks.
