September 17th results-
Milwaukee- Won 10-1
West Virginia- Won 37-31
Auburn- Lost 38-24
Record for dayh 2-1
Record for month 23-5
I'm going to take tomorrow off as far as writeups go, but here are a few picks you should be interested
in.
Green Bay wins by double digits-
Drew Brees throws for 251+ yards- Hard to turn this down. Brees almost always goes well over 251+
Phillies win- Hamels is a great pitcher, and he has the leisure of pitching at home. Carpenter is a good pitcher. I'll take the great over the good.
Hamels records a strikeout in the 1st- Goes back to him being a great pitcher. He averages about 8 strikeouts a game. I usually hate risking picks like this, but this one isn't that bad.
These are all picks I would make. I hope it helps tomorrow...
Would love to hear any comments you have about anything. Good luck

September 17th Picks
I will get results from today up soon.
Pick #1 Milwaukee Brewers
After defeating the the Reds 6-3 last night with Randy Wolf, the Brewers look to continue that same success tonight with Yovani Gillardo. Gillardo, who has posted a 3.66 ERA, 16-10 record, 1.24 whip and 183 strikeouts, saw some action against them back in April and struggled a bit. However, Gillardo has looked pretty good ever since. The Reds will start Edinson Volquez who has put up a 5.80 ERA, 1.63 whip, 5-5 record and 88 strikeouts. Gillardo looks a lot better on paper and with batting being pretty even, I like Milwaukee.
Possible Pick #1 West Virginia Mountaineers
West Virginia heads into Maryland tomorrow bringing with them a 2-0 record and a very good passing attack. West Virginia has looked decent so far, but wasn't as productive as expected against Marshall (which they won 34-13) and trailed the barely known Norfolk State 12-10 at halftime before a 55-12 blowout win. West Virginia has looked very good in the passing game. West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith has completed 46 of 69 for 620 yards, 6 touchdowns and no interceptions. While West Virginia's wide receivers Devon Brown (8 catches, 151 yds, 1 TD) and Stedman Bailey (7 catches, 116 yds, 1 TD) have given great support and have been very productive. However, West Virginia's running game may be a concern. Only averaging 72 yards in their last two games to pretty mediocre opponents. Both of which I feel are definitely not as good as Maryland. If West Vrginia can't get their running game going, that will put a lot of pressure on their passing game, and I believe that will make them pretty predictable. If Maryand can adjust to West Virginia's passing game and shut it down, the Mountaineers will be in trouble.
Maryland will host West Virginia after defeating a Miami team consisting of ineligible players, injuries, and off-season suspensions. So we really don't know the quality of the Miami team Maryland beat. Judging from what we saw in that game, Miami seems to be a middle-of-the-pack team. Maryland's offense was very effective in that game. In both the passing game, where Danny O'Brian completed 31 of 44 for 348 yards, 1 TD and 1 interception, and the running game where Maryland racked up 151 total yards on the ground.
Maryland is a good team and at home they make me nervous. However, we still don't know where they stand as well as we do with West Virginia. West Virginia hasn't played pretty, but they have played hard every quarter and have performed well in both the first and second half. If they play 4 quarters like they have in their 2 opening games, I don't think they will have a problem getting the win. Not that it will be easy, but West Virginia I think will pull this out by at least 3.
Possible Pick #2 Auburn Tigers
This game starts in 20 minutes so I dont have a lot of time. Anyway, a very ugly but winning Auburn team travels to play Clemson today. Auburn hasn't looked pretty in either of its two opening season wins. Beating Utah State after recovering an onside kick to win 42-38. Clemson looked impressive against Troy but struggled a bit against Wofford at home a week later, resulting in a 35-27 win. Auburn needs to be on upset alert for sure, but after beating Mississippi State last week, I think Auburn's quality of wins is better than Clemson's. Utah State blew out Weber State 54-17, I think they are a middle of the pack team. Not really good or bad. This one will be close, but if Auburn takes the same amount of luck they have had into Clemson today, I think they will pull out the win. Auburn by 3.
I will be staying away from both the Auburn and West Virginia game just to let you know. Hopefully this helps those that are considering the two.
