Well, I can see anyone liking Florida -3.5...but I'm not sure it can be THE bowl lock. With that OU offense? I can find several others that seem like better "locks". Penn St. +10.5...Florida St. -5.5...Oregon/OSU over the total...Penn St./USC under the total...etc. Take a look at Bob Stoops ATS when he is a dog at OU (6-2 the last 8 years).

Dan the Man (4 years ago)

Well,PICKER the LOCK, I'll perdict the BIG RED by 12 to 14. How do you like that? Just like JEREMY said, "take a look at BOB STOOPS when he is a dog at OU." This game means alot to the university and to Oklahoma. Stoops knows what to do!! BOOMER SOONER!!!

I guess your contract stated you had to write so many words before Friday?

Iflyfast (4 years ago)

Well, I disagree with #2. For the time period that the last two Bond films have been set in, as far as where in Bond's "career" the movies are, Daniel Craig is a perfect fit. He is not the refined Sean Connery or Pierce Brosnan. He is still rough, and working on the refined part.

Ok, just didn't feel like talking about the sports parts......

Fly: Craig is a sourpuss.

Jeremy: Take a look at Medium Game Bob in the bowls. This is Boise State and West Virginia, times
five.

Rhett (4 years ago)

What are bigger games? Big 12 Championship games or all bowls games other than the National Championship.

Eric (4 years ago)

Picker can you give us all your word that when OU wins you will call Bob Stoops "Big Game Bob"? Your medium game title is SO freaking old. I mean that will be his 2nd bcs championship. At least give us that much since we have to look at all the bs you write about OU. Something else.... GET A LIFE SUCKA!

Out Pick The Picker

The Picker began entertaining – and infuriating – sports fans in 1993. Each week during football season, he writes about his picks of college and NFL games in his Thursday Sports column. He's never afraid of sharing his opinions about the game and the personalities who play it. Readers have a chance to go against him each season in the Outpick the Picker contest. He welcomes the competition.
