Big E Stumbles Out of the Gate

Well, thank God nobody reads this thing, otherwise they’d see that I’m 2-4 in football picks to start the season.  For some reason, everything is in a foreign language to the Big E right now.  Press 1 for winning football picks.  Well, we try again this week:

MICHIGAN +2.5 over penn state

One of the main reasons we stink, is because we keep picking the Michigan games wrong.  So why are we doing it again?  Why ask why?  Penn State simply can’t beat Michigan.  It doesn’t matter if Penn State is good or bad.  Something always carries Michigan to the win.  It has happened nine straight times.  Nine!  We observed a respected handicapper picking Penn State in this game, stating that they are the better team.  That may be true (we’re not sure), but it doesn’t matter if they’re better.  We’ve since some pretty good Penn State teams lose on bad bounces and suspicious referee calls.  We figure we can’t lose here, Michigan wins, we can put one in the win column, Penn State wins, well, we hate Michigan, and like Penn State.  You say JoePa I say Terno!

air force +11.5 over BYU

This one is jumping off the page at us.  Air Force is 2-0, having beaten pretty good Utah and TCU teams.  BYU, on the other hand, is 1-2, having lost to UCLA and Tulsa.  Stay with us here:  UCLA lost last week to Utah 44-6.  Air Force beat Utah.  BYU lost to UCLA.  Therefore, Air Force should beat BYU 100-0.  Well, we’ll settle for losing by less than 11.5 points.  That’s a lot of points, and Air Force must have something going for it, to be 2-0 against two solid teams.  This might be a trick, but we’ll take the points.

CHICAGO -3 dallas

Just a feeling on this game.  Dallas has feasted on sub-par competition so far this year, and we think they are going to be in for a rude step up in class here.  Dallas’ defense has been poor, which may encourage Good Rex Grossman to show up for the Bears.  We expect a ramped up Bears defense to hammer Tony Romo into some turnovers, and it’ll be one rowdy crowd on Sunday night in Chicago.  Big E will be in attendance, and we rarely lose games where Big E makes a personal appearance.  Bears 27, Cowboys 14.

Time to get it rolling!
