I admit I dumped on the carpet last week by going 4-6. I would have picked differently, but the fat dog kept insisting that Alabama couldn't get Croomed and that somehow Eli Manning was superior to Tony Romo.  And he just wouldn't shut up about it, so I threw my paws in the air and said "fine, we'll try it your way."  Next time, he gets a big dog bowl of STFU.  I'm still 58-42 over all and that's not bad.

Where the hell did they get this fat dog from anyway?  I'm perfectly happy being my own dog and this chump shows up, sits in the woman's lap and the next thing you know nobody loves me anymore.)  I swear, when they're at work, I'm going to break into his cage and go Foghorn Leghorn on him. 

Oh, I'm sorry.  You came for my picks, not for my issues.  I get it.

As usual, five college, five pro, straight up.

College

• Ohio State vs. Michigan: Lloyd Carr has issues beating Ohio State.  Given the fact that OSU is healthy, is pissed off angered after losing to Illinois and fighting for a bid to the Rose Bowl, Lloyd will retire on Monday with his tail between his legs.  Take Ohio State.
• Kentucky vs. Georgia: Georgia, right now is the best team in the east.  If they win this one and UK turns around and takes out Tennessee next week, Georgia goes to the SEC championship game in Dawg friendly Atlanta.  Who am I to root against the Dawgs, especially when they are playing the Cats.  Take Georgia.
• West Virginia vs. Cincinnati: UC has had a few upsets this year including UCONN.  Given what's on the line for the Mountaineers, they won't be fooled again.  Take West Virginia.
• Oklahoma vs. Texas Tech: While this game has upset potential, there won't be one.  Take Oklahoma
• Boston College vs. Clemson:  Clemson may be one of those teams that no one knows about but has quietly had a decent year.  Boston College is falling faster than tech stocks.  Take Clemson.

Pro

• Carolina vs. Green Bay: This game should be sponsored by AARP considering how old the starting quarterbacks are.  It's at Lambeau and the Packers are white hot.  Take Green Bay.
• San Diego vs. Jacksonville: The Chargers are coming off a huge win vs. Indy while the Jags just took out rival Tennessee.  This is a trap game for both teams, so I'm going with the best dressed coach in this one.  Take Jacksonville.
• Oakland vs. Minnesota:  Even though there's no Purple Jesus this week, the Vikings have a decent defense and can still run the ball with Chester Taylor.  Oakland can't stop the run unless the runner is Cedric Benson.  Hell, the fat dog and I could stop Cedric Benson, so that's not a big deal.  Take Minnesota.
• Bears vs. Seattle: The Seahawks were impressive on Monday night against a San Francisco team that has a better running game than the Bears and a quarterback who is about equal to Rex Grossman.  If the Bears win this game in Seattle, I would immediately make all of them pee in a cup test for drugs.  Take Seattle.
• Tennessee vs. Denver: I don't usually take the Monday night game, but because the matchups are about as good as the bald guy's singing, I had to look at this game.  I see snow in Denver, most of it Tennessee defensive players snowing down on Denver quarterbacks.  And running backs.  Take Tennessee.
