I took another dump on the rug last week with another 5-5 week, but I'm still at 19-11 for the year which doesn't make me look too bad.  For crying out loud, I'm a freakin' dog.  A freakin' French dog.  I'm so French, I put my paws in the air everytime I hear a car backfire and prepare to be boarded.

Our game is played as follows: 5 college, 5 pro, straight up. 

College

• Penn State vs. Illinois:  I wouldn't take Ron Zook over Joe Paterno in a street fight.  Penn State romps in this one.
• Michigan State vs. Wisconsin: The Iowa game may have been the wakeup call the Badgers needed to realize that they can't just look at the rankings, they have to play like a top ten (not a Big Ten) team.  The Spartans will offer little resistance to them in that endeavor.  Take the Badgers.
• California vs. Oregon:  The Bears have played well all year, but the Ducks will test their defense to the brink like no PAC 10 team not named USC.  I think sometimes you get the Bears and this week is Oregon's week.
• Auburn vs. Florida: The biggest problem Tommy and the Tigers have is that they don't have a quarterback. Unfortunately for Auburn, Florida has a real good one who will slice, dice, chop and peel the War Eagles. Take Florida.
• Alabama vs. FSU: This would have been a great game about 1995 or so, but Bama is still rebuilding after Mike DuBose killed the program and FSU has been in a serious funk for a couple of years.  Although the Noles have improved their defense a little, Bama will have a much easier time spreading the ball around than they did against a tougher Georgia squad.  Take Alabama.

Pro

• Green Bay vs. Minnesota: Do you know how I know that Brett Favre is having a good year?  I hear a stream of profanity from the bald guy followed by "Hillbilly."  So, when I hear ^$% *&%^ing HILLBILLY!" I know the Pack is back, at least against lousy teams.  Therefore, go with Green Bay.
• Chicago vs. Detroit: For the record, I had my rabies shot last month, so I'm not foaming at the mouth or crazy.   Detroit can put up a lot of points in a hurry.  Under normal circumstances, the Bears defense would pound John Kitna into Alpo.  But when your defense lacks Tommy Harris, Charles Tillman, Nathan Vasher and possibly Lance Briggs, it's not really the Bears defense.  The downside of being a successful team is low draft picks, and some of the defensive backups the Bears have aren't very good. Add to that the fact that the Bears couldn't score in a whore house with a roll of $100 bills and you have a very interesting afternoon in the motor city. Take Detroit in an upset.
• Seattle vs. San Francisco: I think it would be hilarious if Walrus Sr. wore a suit on the sideline like Mike Nolan will on Sunday.  But if he did, they would have to get him a set of those horns to play, too.  Everyone thinks the Niners are sexy this season, but I think they are just an empty suit.  Take Seattle.
• Denver vs. Indianapolis: The only thing on a bigger roll than the Colts are the sidewalks in Indy when they roll up at 8pm.  They best thing the Broncos can hope for is Jay Cutler learning something by watching Peyton Manning suds, rinse and spin the Bronco defense.  Take Indianapolis.
• Philadelphia vs. NY Giants: Both teams are coming off must win games and both teams need this game if they want to get into the wild card race because it looks like Dallas may run away with this division.  No way Philly puts up 56 this week on the Giants, but they will put up enough to win.  Take Philadelphia.
