I am one hot little dog.  8-2 last week and no one would have thoughtthat Buffalo would beat the Jets.  In fact, I think they need tocollect urine samples from that game, but I digress.  Overall, I am45-20.  I am no longer just a dog.  I am THE dog.

Five college, five pro, straight up.

College

Pittsburgh vs. USF:  The bald guy is going to make me sleep outside for sayingsomething nice about Dave Wannstedt, but Dave's team has done okay thisyear.  I'm still waiting for them to crack the top 25.  This may be theweek they do.  Take Pitt.

Georgia Tech vs. Virginia: Georgia Tech is coming off a huge win lastweek vs. Va. Tech.  Virginia has shook off three early losses to put itback in bowl contention and to maybe have saved Al Groh's job.  As wellas the Cavs have played the last couple of week, they are no match forthe Jackets.  Take Georgia Tech

Oregon at Washington: Washington upset USC earlier this year.  Oregon knows this and won't let it happen to them.  Take Oregon.

Oklahoma vs. Kansas: OU is in a world of hurt without Sam Bradford.  The big question in this game is can OU's defense slow Kansas down enough to score enough points to win?  Me thinks so.  Take Oklahoma.

Tennessee vs. Alabama: This is going to be worse than Lane Kiffin's worst day in Oakland.  Jonathan Crompton is going to spend a day like Paris Hilton: On his back.  And Alabama's running game will shred anything Monte Kiffin can dream up.  If he goes eight men in the box, look for Julio Jones to have a huge day. Balance, victory is thy name.  Take Alabama.

Pro

Green Bay vs. Cleveland: The Packers have brought back everyone except Jerry Kramer and the ghost of Ray Nitzke, but it really doesn't matter, Cleveland not only is a mess, they have several cases of flu.  Unfortunately none of those people are named Eric Mangini.  Take Green Bay

Minnesota vs. Pittsburgh: This is the one in which the Elderly Hillbilly finally takes his whipping. The Steelers have the offense to keep up with the Vikings and the defense to bring down Favre.  Plus, playing outside in crappy weather is a huge advantage for the Steelers.  Take Pittsburgh.

Chicago vs. Cincinnati: This is a game between two teams who had very similar stories this season: They either win a close one or shoot themselves in the foot and lose.  This is classified as a toss up, but Cincinnati has the edge for two reasons: One, Ced Benson will be running angry and second, it's in Cincinnati.  Take Cincinnati.

Atlanta vs. Dallas: This game won't help Wade Phillips.  Atlanta is hot and they should stay that way.  Take Atlanta.

Arizona vs. New York Giants: The Cards have had some pretty solid victories, but coming off a huge loss in New Orleans, General Coughlin will have his troops prepared.  Take New York.
