Stupid Upset Picks- The continuing thread

[Kris4153]

I love how Michigan is replaced by Meatchicken!!! :icon_lol: Funny sh*t right there!

Ok, my pick is Cal over USC +6 :twisted:

 

[lilkev42]

Fightin' Dennis Ericksons +10.5 over Fresno St.

 

[CEDeoudes59]

PITTsburgh +11 West Virginia

 

[BingeAndPurge]

hmm, i like a couple pac 10 upset bids(arizona and cal) and iowa is an underdog to minnesota:wtf:

even though those 3 look strong in my eyes, i gotta go with the red hot terrapins. maryland +6.5 to BC will be my upset sspecial this week

binge, thats a gutsy pick. cincy can pull it off though. they are better than most people give them credit for. i personally thing rutgers will fall to WV.

Hell, I picked Temple on the Bucknuts board because I need the points. A lot of desperate folks over there are picking Utah State as well.

hey, with ian johnson hurt, who knows? jk, utah state is terrible. good to see many a buckeye fans here unlike bb.com where im always arguing with michigan fans in their college football thread. even in albuquerque, we have a buckeye fan club at certain sports bars. im telling ya, OSU fans are crazy and they are everywhere! GO BUCKS!!!

 

[Innings Eater]

PITTsburgh +11 West Virginia

That pick goes along with my gut feeling. You may want to change that pick now. My gut is always wrong.

 

[gators52]

Michigan over OSU.....

 

[jmh80]

Bama over a floundering Auburn team.
John Parker Wilson was looking damn good at LSU last week.

 

[jmh80]

I'm thinking of the BC game on Thanksgiving...

Hoping we can channel the spirt of the 1998 UCLA win in the Orange Bowl and avenge Flutie one more time.

 

[jmh80]

Man - that was a bad year. I think that was '85 - our first year with Jimmy Johnson. It's been said he tanked games so that he could get rid of Schnellenberger's assistants.

We lost big leads to Maryland and BC that year. Also lost to the Vols in the Sugar (I think).

Yeah - I'm tried of that play. He threw the ball far, I'll give him that. But - it was fluky that a freaking WHITE WR gets behind the D.
I'm tired of seeing that play.

 

[BingeAndPurge]

The pics I'll admit to, but not verbal abuse. It's not like I'm channeling the "Chad Henne is a Joke" song through your speakers. Come on, where's your spirit? It's the greatest rivalry in all of sports for Christ sake, and the most important game in all of its history.

 

[Kris4153]

Oh Yeah, reps points to Gators.

I got your Meatchicken right here.

You know what my pick is, ending the season with a bang or a whimper.

I propose a new Manlaw - If you pick an upset in a nationally renowned rivalry game in spite of your rivals pictoral and verbal abuse, you get 5X as many points as usual, and have the option to give points to other supporters to assure they close higher than said rivals.

The University of Michigan Wolverines +35!!!!!

I don't know if Cal_USC qualifies,IW? The Iron Bowl definetly does, but not around here. Bean was last year's Bama fan, but his team again faded. That's one meanass yearround rivalry, it would be the best, if Bama was more nationally signifigant.

I confess. If anyone's been the Verbal Abuser in these parts, it's been Kris. I got your Pictoral abuse posted elsewhere.

Of course I whine and cheese on and on, I'm a Pfied scUM LLLLoser. It's Gargamel's gamestyle, me too.

This thread is for the UPSET GAME not general college football discussion.

Stay on topic :whip:

Yea go Yellow and Blue...ha I never thought i would say that.

Fresno St. screwed me last week but not this week.
Idaho Vandals +10.5

Tempted to take West.Mich over FSU but I was a pussy.

 

[CEDeoudes59]

Pitt only played one half against West Virginia, damn it.
I pick too many major upsets.
oh and, ND vs. USC & UCLA vs. USC -- is bigger than Cal-USC

 

[Innings Eater]

Cal over USC.

Other rivalry games looked good for the upset as well, but I couldn't get to the computer until just now.

...looks the most promising but I still have my faith in the Noles this Saturday!

 

[BingeAndPurge]

purdue +17 beats a hot hawaii team. the WAC has nothin on the big 10

I almost went with this too

 

[gators52]

Purdue will be lucky if they cover the spread.

 

[lilkev42]

UVA +18.5 over Va Tech

I almost took my third shot in a row at Fresno St. But I decided that UVA is my pick because I am crazy and going for the lead if size and ced miss.

 

[gators52]

NEW MEXICO 10 San Diego St

mid major games are too unpredictable this year, anything can happen.

 

[WannaBeHulk]

Purdue will be lucky if they cover the spread.

you might be surprised. purdue usually answers when points are scored and their defense is inconsistent and plays well sometimes. they might be able to slow down the hawaii air attack.

I almost took my third shot in a row at Fresno St.

Fresno St. screwed us both 2 weeks in a row not sure why they decided to start playing again.

This week

OKLAHOMA ST +7

 

[CEDeoudes59]

damn got on this thread late. would have picked 12th man over texas. oh well.. The Longhorns have the worst fans i've seen of any 'major' program. they make more noise at Baylor

Sorry about the delay, Ive been out of town for the past week.

 

[WannaBeHulk]

Also Gators was the only one right this week, with a domination of New Mexico over SDSt.

New Mexico wasnt an underdog, they were heavily favored.

 

[jmh80]

How are we going to do this for the Bowl Games?

Do you guys want to pick all the games? Or maybe have some point system like ESPN.com has?
(I.E. you pick your "lock" and make it 10/20/whatever we want and if you get it right, you get those points, then you pick your 2nd most likely to happen and make it 9/19/etc, and on down the line.)

shhh...i though i would finally get one "right" but yea NM was a 10 pt favorite of SDSU

How about everyone just picks 5 bowl game upsets of the choosing (or whatever number we decide) and we can see who does the best.

I would have picked New Mexico if I was going to get +10.

Lil'Kev New Mexico was favored by 10.

How are we going to do this for the Bowl Games?

I was wondering this myself today. I was thinking that since the spreads shouldn't be too high, picking 5 underdogs with the same rules as the regular season, only you get double the points if your pick wins.

 

[WannaBeHulk]

southern miss already beat houston earlier in the season. ill pick them to do it again in the conference USA championship.

Southern Miss +4

 

[Kris4153]

Arkansas over the GAYtors +3

LA Tech +10.5 over the NMSt. Aggies

Rutgers is a 10 point underdog...

7:45p
Rutgers +10
West Virginia -10
College Football Point Spreads - Live College Football Spreads


College Football lines, College Football spreads, College Football odds, football spreads
SBC Global, VIP.com, Hilton all has the line at 10

 

[jmh80]

What the hell - UCLA over USC.

 

[gators52]

Rutgers over WV, yea it's currently a 9.5 pt spread, it opened up at 8 though.

 

[size]

Rutgers as the WVU fumbles continue

 

[BingeAndPurge]

You can't change the spread. Different places use different spreads and these are the ones posted on Sunday or Monday. Nobody else has asked for their spreads to be changed for three months now, no reason to do it the final week of the season.

 

[CEDeoudes59]

okay give me LA Tech +10.5 then

 

[BingeAndPurge]

okay give me LA Tech +10.5 then

that game started like 4 hours ago, its probably even over
