BONUS College Football Pick of the Day!

1) The guys who set the lines are professionals. Their job is to make each game look as attractive as possible to everyone. That way they even out the amount of money bet on each side.

Instant translation: The house wins no matter who wins. That's why people get into the gambling business.

2) I am just a fan. I won't even keep track of these picks week to week if it gets too embarrassing.

3) There is no such thing as "inside information". Especially in the pros.

4) If those idiot touts on tv and in the paper were any good, they wouldn't go public with their genius. They'd sit at Harrah's sports book from open to close and then go out and buy $2,000 an hour hookers who dress like high school girls.

5) Gambling is stupid. You cannot win.

That being said, here is my bonus college pick for this week.



Thursday 9/16


West Virginia (-11) at Pittsburgh
The Backyard Brawl has not been much of a fight lately, with the Mountaineers dominating the Panthers the last few years. Nothing should change tonight. Take WVU to cover.
FINAL: WVU 45 Pitt 27 - Fyodor wins! (Pitt played an inspired first half that included one of the most spectacular punt returns ever seen. Unfortunately, the game was comprised of two halves.)
