Butkus D. Dogg's Friday Fearless Forecast Week 6

Another 5-5 week last week which raises the bar to 29-21.  Not bad for someone who enjoys licking himself (oh give me a break, you'd do it too if you could, but you'd never leave the house.)

Our rules as usual, five college, five pros, straight up.

College

  • Alabama vs. Ole Miss---Alabama looked pathetic in the second half against Houston and there is no doubt that Coach Satan has been whacking his team all week with a rolled up newpaper.  Tide rolls over Ed and the Rebs. Take Alabama.
  • BC vs. Notre Dame---Now that the Irish have a taste of victory, maybe they can pull a big upset over a BC squad who is ripe for one.  Nah.  Not even the dug up remains of George Gipp are going to help Charlie Weis this week.  Take BC.
  • LSU vs. Kentucky---True, after beating Florida, LSU is ripe for a letdown.  But not against the Cats.  Take LSU.
  • Wisconsin at Penn State---This is my special upset of the week pick.  Joepa will treat Wisconsin like it cut him off in traffic.  Take Penn State.
  • Missouri at Oklahoma---There are some that think Mizzou has played over it's head this year.  It's clear that this week the Sooners will put the Tigers in their place.  Take Oklahoma.

Pro

  • Washington vs. Green Bay---The Pack showed some serious flaws against the Bears on Sunday night, mostly that their head coach is a bonehead that plays not to lose.  If Lovie Smith can pants Mike McCarthy, imagine what Joe Gibbs can do.  Take Washington.
  • Minnesota at Chicago---On the Bears bingo board, this square is marked "free space."  The Vikings have a powerful running game, but if the Bears can stop that (and even without Darwin Walker they should) Minnesota will not be able to generate any offense.  On defense, the Vikes can't stop the pass and Greg Olsen should have a huge day.  Take Chicago.
  • New England at Dallas---Coming off last week's six turnover performance against Buffalo, Tony Romo may not be shaken or stirred.  Still, if he's careless against the Patriots, he will pay dearly.  The Patriots are known to take advantage of people who are careless.  Take New England.
  • Tennessee vs. Tampa---This one is almost a toss up, but I'm taking three things into consideration: First, Tampa Bay's grounded ground game; second, Tennessee's defense and third, the Bald Guy has a Fathead poster of Titans Coach Jeff Fisher.  Take Tennessee
  • Seattle vs. New Orleans---I thought the Saints would snap out of it last week but didn't.  Now, it is do or die.  I'll put my money on do, especially since the Seahawks running game is pretty much out of commission.  Take New Orleans.
