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.
More to come for picks tonight...

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.

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

November 7th Picks
November 6th results:
Stoke City won or draw- Loss (0-5)
Dallas Stars- Win (5-2)
Eli Manning records more passing yards- Loss (250-342)
LA Galaxy win- Win (3-1)
Record for day 2-2
Record for the month- 12-5
Not a ton I like today, but here's my analysis regardless... Good Luck today whatever you decide to do
Pick #1 Murcia win
Murcia has played a harder schedule than La Coruna, losing to the likes of Almeria, Celta Vigo, Elche and drawing against a decent Las Palmas team. La Coruna's schedule has been easier and includes road losses to FC Cartagena (20th in table), CD Alcoyano (18th) and AD Alcorcon (10th) (La Coruna ranks 8th). They did manage to keep up with Hercules (currently the top team in their table) at home in a 0-1 loss, but on the road La Coruna has struggled. Murcia has lost to much better teams in general. Since losing to Almeria, Celta Vigo and Elche at the beginning of the season (first 3 games), Murcia has gone 5-3-0, as well as 2-1-0 at home.
Overall this season, Murcia is 5-3-3, 3 goal difference and 18 points; La Coruna is 6-1-4, 2 goal difference and 19 points. La Coruna 2-0-3 on the road this season overall. I think Murcia being at home will make the difference. Murcia seems to do a lot better at home, La Coruna is not very good on the road. Good luck whatever you do, Murcia would be my pick. The draw is the only thing that makes me nervous. I don't think Murcia will lose but we'll see.
Pick #2 Any Other Result (Valparaiso @ #16 Arizona)
I mean really? Arizona is a good team, but the way they have played in the preseason should make you really evaluate picking them. I'm not saying they can't win by 15 or more, but Arizona seems to be a bandwagon pick, probably because of their rank and playing at home (I would guess). Maybe Arizona has just been holding back for the regular season, but Valparaiso seems to be a pretty decent (not great) team overall. Arizona should win, but I'm not sure they can manage a win by more than 15. Arizona lost to Division 2 Seattle-Pacific (who?) at home and that is something to really consider. We'll see what happens, but by current situations and outcomes, I would have to give the edge to Valparaiso. Looking forward to seeing what happens...
Pick #3 San Jose Sharks
I may or may not write about this tonight (because I have more I want to write about), but from a glance with them at home, I like San Jose.

Pick #3 San Jose Sharks
I may or may not write about this tonight (because I have more I want to write about), but from a glance with them at home, I like San Jose.
Pick #4 Bears: 4th Quarter Points
I know this game starts in just an hour and a half, but I kinda like it. The Bears have had a while to prepare for the Eagles and I think they might even win straight up. Likely the Eagles will pull it off, but if the Bears can at least salvage a touchdown in the 4th quarter, they should be ok. I may go with this so I can squeeze in the San Jose Sharks pick. That's why I'm putting it up

November 6th Picks
November 4th and 5th Results:
November 4th:
No, CMU doesn't score on first possession- Win
USC wins by 25+ - Win (25 exactly)
Dallas Stars- Win (7-6)
November 5th:
Andrew Luck: Completion- Win (20 completions-13 points for Oregon State)
Wisconsin wins by 25+ points- Win (won by 45)
Arkansas Razorbacks- Win (44-28)
Record in the last 2 days- 6-0
Record for the month- 10-3
It's been a good last couple of days
Pick #1 Stoke City win or draw
Stoke City has played much better than Bolton in the Premier League. The only catch for Stoke City is the fatigue they may feel going into this matchup after a week of traveling for Europa play. Stoke City is 3-3-4 with a -6 goal difference and 12 points in their table. Bolton is 2-0-8 with a -14 goal difference and 6 points. Bolton has yet to win at home this season, but may have a good opportunity with a tired Stoke City team. If Bolton had the draw, I would say Bolton easy, but it's not often the better team has the draw option. Don't be shocked if Bolton wins, but Stoke City is my pick of the two.
Pick #2 Dallas Stars
Pick #3 Eli Manning records more 1st half passing yards
The Patriots have the worst pass defense in the NFL. The Giants rank 13th, giving up about 225 yards a game. Eli and Brady have put up similar numbers passing this season, but I think the Patriots pass defense gives Eli the edge.

Pick #4 LA Galaxy win
This one was a little tough to call at first, but I like LA of the two with them at home. Though losing 1-4 to Salt lake on the road, LA managed to beat them 2-1 at home in their last meeting. LA is 19-10-5 with a 20 goal difference and 67 points, Salt Lake is 15-8-11 with an 8 goal difference and 53 points. LA has been dominant at home, going 13-5-0, including a current 9 game home winning streak (that includes their 2-1 win over Salt Lake). All 5 of LA's losses have been on the road, so obviously LA seems to have an edge with them being at home. LA and their home crowd should be excited going into this game after beating New York in their last two matches. Short writeup, but hopefully it helps give you some insight. Good luck whatever you do tonight.
