Your friendly neighborhood poo dog was 8-2 last week, which makes the season total 11-4, so I'm off to a good start.  Certainly very few people not named Holtz saw East Carolina beating up West Virginia and no one not named Lovie saw the Bears shocking the world against the great Peyton Manning and the Colts.  But hey, 8-2 is not bad.  Even the fat dog was impressed and the only thing that really impresses him is breakfast, lunch and dinner.

My big prediction this week is Pitt won't lose.  Of course, they are not playing, but if anyone could screw up an off week it would be Wannstedt.

Our rules are the same as always, five college, five pro, straight up.  Here's this week's brilliance from someone that can lick himself in places you've only dreamed of:

College

• Kansas at USF-Call me crazy, but I think Kansas is a fraud.  Remember, it's never over until the fat man sings and he may be singing after the game.  UPSET ALERT: TAKE USF.
• UCLA at BYU-If it wasn't for the anal officials in the Pac 10, BYU may have lost to a rather pedestrian Washington team.  UCLA came out breathing fire against a ranked Tennessee squad.  Even though the Bruins are on the road, I think they may be a team that cracks the top 25 next week with an upset.  UPSET ALERT II: TAKE UCLA
• Oklahoma at Washington- After this game, the Husky alums will really be screaming.  Take OU, BIG.
• Ohio State at USC-Even with Beanie Wells, the Buckeyes don't have the goods.  Take USC.
• Wisconsin at Fresno State: Fresno State went to New Jersey and beat Rutgers with speed.  They will do the same to the Badgers who are your typical, slow, plodding Midwest team. Wisconsin has a solid running game but is a bit weak at QB and a little slow on defense. Take Fresno State

Pro

• Indianapolis vs. Minnesota-Indy couldn't stop the run on Sunday night and may have problems with Purple Jesus.  The difference is Minnesota can't score.  Now that Peyton Manning has had his mulligan for the year, the Colts should win, although this one could be close.  Take Hoosierville.
• Chicago vs. Carolina-This is a tough call, but I think the Panthers are just a hair better.  Both teams beat AFC contenders on the road last week. But, if the Panthers, on the road, can hold LT to just 97 yards, you wonder how their defense will fare with Matt Forte and a decidedly weaker Bears offensive line.  This is the kind of game that either of these teams has to win if they want to return to the playoffs. Take Carolina.
• Green Bay vs. Detroit-If Matt Ryan dominated the Lions defense last week, just think what Aaron Rodgers and his corps of receivers will do.  Take Green Bay.  BIG.
• New England vs. Brett Favre New York Jets-it would be nice if Tom Brady were here so the network could hype this game to levels unknown, but even without him, the Patriots can still play defense.  The Elderly Hillbilly will spend a lot of time running for his life and throwing those errant picks he is famous for. Welcome to the AFC East, Hillbilly. Take New England
• Pittsburgh vs. Cleveland-With the injuries to the Patriots, Chargers and Colts, the Steelers look every bit the sexy AFC favorite right now.  Willie Parker will run down Cleveland's throat and Big Ben will have another solid day.  Take Pittsburgh.
