Hello again.  Boy, I'm on a roll like the fat dog at an all you can eat Alpo buffet.  Last week, I was 8-2, which raises my record for the year to 27-8, my best start ever.  I'm so excited I could whiz on the carpet.  Wait, I did just whiz on the carpet. Clean up, Isle 4!

If you aren't familiar with how we do things, it's five college, five pro straight up.  Let's keep the tide rolling:

College

• Mississippi State vs. Georgia: I guarantee one thing: The Bulldogs will win this game.  And they will be wearing Georgia uniforms.  Take Georgia.
• Northwestern vs. Illinois: The Illini may have saved Ron Zook because the last thing you want in front of a new AD is a crappy season.  Northwestern is good, but they have injuries and this game is on the road.  Take Illinois.
• Auburn vs. South Carolina: The Old Ball Coach's team played barely well enough to win last week against Vandy.  This week, he'll take what he learned and slay some Tigers.  Take South Carolina
• Alabama vs. Florida: They say Charlie Weis is an offensive genius who can take his offense and put it places your defense doesn't expect it.  Some one should ask them how that worked out for Ol' Charlie at Notre Dame.  In this game Yoda, played by Nick Saban, will school Luke Skywalker, played by Will Muschamp.Take Alabama.
• Nebraska vs. Wisconsin: This is actually the best game of the day.  Her you've got two teams built in the same image, with a bunch of big, beef eating plow boys banging on each other.  The biggest difference in this game is Russell Wilson.  And a whole bunch of sauced Badger fans in Madison.  Take Wisconsin.

Pro

• Carolina vs. Chicago: It's cam Newton vs. the Bears defense in this one.  A lot has been made of Ron Rivera vs. Lovie Smith and Greg Olson vs. the defense, but how about Julius Peppers against his former teammates?  Julius and Cam could be very well acquainted by the end of the day.  The Bears should be able to stop Carolina in the red zone.  The question is can they get there enough themselves?  This is a tough pick, but take the Bears.
• Detroit vs. Dallas: Tony Romo's bruised ribs are going to feel like he was run over by a convoy of semi trucks after this one.  Take Detroit.
• Minnesota vs. Kansas City: I'm sure Ron Pitts will be attending this game.  I hope he brings nose plugs.  Take Minnesota.
• Denver vs. Green Bay: Tim Tebow can pray all he wants, but the Packers are not going to lose at home against a less than stellar Denver team.  Take Green Bay.
• NY J-E-T-S Jets, Jets, Jets vs. Baltimore: This is going to be an old fashioned smashmouth football game.  Take Baltimore.
