Weekend Wesults

What a great weekend to be a football fan, as long as you have no affiliations!

If, however, you're a fan of the Seahawks, Boise State, Georgia Tech, Sacramento State, Texas A&M, Lamar, North Dakota St, Ball State, Ohio University, or Kansas State, you're probably drowning your sorrows in a beverage of your choice.

And if, heaven forbid, you're a Michigan Wolverine fan, the Suicide Prevention number is in the inside cover of your phone book.

Meanwhile, here's our record this weekend:

College Football) We went a decent 74-27 selecting winners (having missed selecting a few games by accident in our haste Thursday) and a more respectable 56-45 against the spread (including using what lines and oddsmakers we could scrounge up to make reasonable predictions with point spreads for the FCS games. Our total for the season: 522-144 selecting winners (down to 78%), 306-260 against the spread (up to 54%).

Canadian Football) The only game we missed was the one we were completely unsure on - Calgary at Toronto (we made a blind stab at the Argos, but Calgary won 27-15 instead). Meanwhile, Ottawa and Hamilton came through (and bought themselves playoff spots, as did Toronto in their loss), as did Edmonton, so we went 3-1 both ways and now sit at 40-29 overall and 40-27-2 against the spread.

National Football League) (So far, with two games still to go), we're at 7-5 ATS and 9-3 picking winners; for the year, that makes us 61-27 overall and 55-32 against the spread. For the record, we picked the Patriots to cover the 9 1/2 point spread, and tomorrow night we expect the Giants to cover the four point deficit and beat the Eagles.
