November 11th Picks

 
November 10th pick results-

44 yards or less (or no TD)- Win


Pick record overall 20-7

 I have some work today that will conflict my ability to update this blog for the day, so my summaries will be pretty short.

Pick #1 France

  As much as I want to represent America, France has the better odds. It may be "unamerican" as some say to pick France, but its also smarter to pick them in my opinion. As good a chance France stands to win, the U.S. will also be without Landon Donovan to make France's case even better. I would go France.

Pick #2 Uruguay 

   Chile has a lot of suspentions. Chile isn't out of it, but with 5 players missing it will definitely not help. Uruguay by 1 I think.

Here are some picks I'm looking at, but I may not have time to update. I'll keep them up in case I can't write about them later. I may add more or take one off if I can get around to it this evening.

Pick #3 North Carolina wins by DD


Pick #4 Vancouver Canucks

  The Canucks have been traveling a lot lately, so I'll have to look into this one a little more. They may feel the fatigue tonight.

Good luck whatever you do today

November 10th Picks

November 9th results:

Xelaju- Push
Any Other Result- Win (0-1)
No: No point scored in the first five minutes- Win
Arizona wins by double digits- Loss (won by 8)

Record for day 2-1
Record for month 19-7

  I couldn't get around to posting today. I had a lot of stuff going on, both personally and with the site I needed (and still need) to address. I'll get a post up  tomorrow in the afternoon though. However, I have one pick I'm going to squeeze in tonight, but I don't have time to write about it.

Pick #1 44 yards or fewer (or no TD) (Virginia Tech @ Georgia Tech)


   As of right now (8 minutes left in the first half), both defenses are playing really well. I don't think this will be 45+ unless there is a big play on special teams or an interception return (or its corny translation; "Pick Six").  Good luck whatever you do.

November 9th Picks

November 7th and 8th results:

November 7th results:

Murcia win- Loss (0-0 draw)
Any Other Result- Win (9 point difference)
San Jose Sharks- Win (4-2)
Bears 4th quarter points- Win (10)

November 8th results:

Western Michigan: win or single digit loss- Win (lost by 3)
Chandler Harnish records 160 total yards or more in the first half- Win (260 yards)

Record in the last 2 days- 5-1
Record for the month 17-6

Pick #1 Xelaju win or draw

 Soccer seems to be a little tricky today, starting with the pronouncing (and spelling) of the word Xelaju. Xelaju (8-5-5, 4 GD, 29pts), is coming off a 1-0 home win over Suchitepequez who ranks 2nd in their table at 10-1-7. Penarol (6-5-6, 3 GD, 23 points), is coming off a 0-2 loss to Zacapa, who ranks last in their table (also note they lost to Suchitapequez 0-1 on the road, who Xelaju beat). However, Penarol is a pretty big favorite. Penaral has dominated at home, going 6-1-1 (17 for, 7 against); with Xelaju at 0-4-5 on the road. These two teams have yet to play each other this season, so there are no previous results for the year to look back on. However, I think this one is pretty equally matched for a draw. Xelaju is a better team in my opinion overall despite struggling on the road. This one was a little tough to call, but I feel better about Xelaju. Good luck whoever you choose.

Pick #2 Any Other Result (Barcelona at Hospitalet)

  Barcelona is so much better than Hospitalet, they could probably beat them by 5 or 6 if they wanted. With a full squad that is. Barcelona will be resting almost their entire lineup (that includes Messi, Alves, and Adriano) thanks to International break, to give some other guys opportunities to see what they can do. At first it looked to easy for 3+ (obviously now I realize the catch), but now I think AOR has the slight advantage. I think Barcelona will probably win by 2. Hospitalet at the comfort of their own field, and going up against a squad with a lot less experience than the Barcelona team we have seen this season, I would take Hospitalet.
    However, be sure to check the lineups before the game starts. Barcelona may play some guys that make 3+ a more likely scenario. Hopefully these writeups help. Good luck whatever you do.


Pick #3 No: No point scored in the first 5 minutes

Not a lot to this one. Temple's defense ranks 4th in the nation in points allowed, while Miami OH ranks 97th in points for. Miami ranks 38th in points allowed, Temple ranks 54th in points for. Both teams have pretty good defenses points-wise considering the level of play for both teams. Overall, Temple's defense ranks 10th nationally, Miami OH ranks 42nd. No seems like a pretty good play

Pick #4 Arizona wins by double digits

  I forgot to get a full post up on this, but it looks pretty good. Arizona looks like they have the potential to pull away from teams as we saw last night in the beginning of the second half. I've seen lines anywhere from -9 to -16 in Arizona's favor. Hopefully Arizona will play a little better tonight than they have recently for both halves. It will probably go back and forth at times, but Arizona should cover.



More to come for picks tonight...

November 8th Picks

Very short and late post today. I figured I could at least get something up.

Pick #1 Western Michigan: win or single digit loss

   Western Michigan (5-4, 3-2 in MAC) is a pretty comparable to Toledo (5-4, 4-1 MAC). Toledo thus far has played a slighlty better schedule, losing to Boise State (40-15) and Ohio State (27-22), but Western Michigan seems like they can keep up. Western Michigan lost to Michigan on the road 34-10, and lost to then ranked #23 Illinois 23-20 on the road. The only game that has me scratching my head, was their 51-22 blowout loss to Northern Illinois (6-3, 4-1 MAC). Not that I'm shocked that they lost, just that they lost so bad. Michigan State has a pretty good offense overall, averaging about 306 passing yards, 133 rushing yards and 30 points per game, ranking 31st in total offense in the nation. Toledo's defense ranks 57th overall, but gives up about 29 points a game. Western Michigan ranks 97th in defense, but allows fewer points at 25. Toledo ranks 21st in total offense. Toledo should get the win, but I think Western Michigan can keep it close.

Pick #2 Chandler Harnish gets 160 yards or more in the 1st half

 Not a full writeup, but Harnish is a big dual threat quarterback, who has thrown for 1,962 yards and rushed for 871 so far this season.

Tomorrow I'll have a full post  for November 9th Picks
