Butkus D. Dogg's Friday Fearless Forecast Week 9

Halloween is tomorrow. That could make for some strange football happenings. I'm staying home to pass out candy, but the fat dog insists in going out trick or treating. He's got a pretty cool costume. He's dressing up as the state of Utah. And I didn't even know he liked milk!
As usual, five college, five pro, straight up.
College
Georgia vs. Florida: There are some that think that Georgia can send a message in this game. I think the only message they will send is "this is our coach's last world's largest outdoor cocktail party." Take FloridaUSC vs. Oregon: If USC wants to win a national championship, this is a must win for the Trojans. While the Ducks may have other ideas, USC will rise to the occasion. Take USC
Texas vs, Oklahoma State: Texas is not happy being ranked third in the Bis standings. With Alabama off this week, a decisive victory by the Horns on the road against a quality Big 12 opponent could vault Texas into the top 2 and perhaps even #1 if Florida struggles. Take Texas.
Purdue vs. Wisconsin: Purdue has won three straight including a big upset of Ohio State. There are talking about a bowl game in West Lafayette. The Badgers will end the talk. Take Wisconsin.
South Carolina vs. Tennessee: UT has played just well enough to against Auburn and Tennessee, but good enough to beat Georgia. I think Monte Kiffin will send the kitchen sink after Stephen Garcia with positive results. Take Tennessee
Pro
Cleveland vs. Chicago: The Bears will be motivated this week coming off last week's embarrassment in Cincinnati. If they lose this game, I pity Lovie Smith. Take Chicago.Denver vs. Baltimore: Surely the Broncos won't go undefeated. They won't. And don't call me Shirley. Take Baltimore.
St. Louis vs. Detroit: If the NFL had any mercy, they would cancel this game due to lack of interest. How much more pathetic does NFL football get than this stinkfest. If the NFL really cared, they would play this game on Sunday night since there is no Sunday night broadcast this week. In any case, you are damned if you do and damned if you don't with this one. Take Detroit
NY Giants vs. Philadelphia: I think Col. Coughlin was not happy with his team's effort last week against Arizona. Look for the Giants to play like his boot is up their backside. Take New York.
Minnesota vs. Green Bay: I could go into a big,. long thing about Brett Favre returning to Green Bay, but it's all just hype. Everyone knows Favre is a scumbag who happens to be a great quarterback. In the final analysis, the Vikings have too many horses for the packers to stop. Take Minnesota.
