Holy dog crap, I am one smokin' poo dog.  Last week, I was 9-1, running my record on the year to 53-14 in what undoubtedly is my best year ever. I am stoked.

BTW, I don't know if you saw it, but there was a news story about a man in Tennessee (go figure) who was busted after having sex with a neighbor's dog.  The guy was trying to mount this woman's German Shepard.  I hope that dog turned around and did a circumcision on the guy. I'm all for humans and dogs being friendly (I am a very freindly dog, ask anyone), but even I have my limits.  I love the bald guy, but not that much.

Let's get it on for this week (pun intended).  Five college, five pro, straight up:

College

• Oklahoma State vs. Missouri: With a little luck and a couple of upsets, Oklahoma State has an outside shot of winding up in a BCS game, if not the big BCS game.  Right now, Mike Gundy and company need to take care of business.  Hey Missouri, if you think these guys are tough, wait until you get into the SEC.  Take Oklahoma State.
• LSU vs. Auburn: Don't kid yourself.  LSU is a deep, deep team that could suspend a few players without missing a beat.  Those suspensions the other day won't faze the Bayou Bengals. Meanwhile, Auburn is a middle shelf team this year. Throw in Death Valley, and LSU should win, although the potential for an upset looms.  I guarantee one thing: The Tigers will win this game.  Take LSU.
• Alabama vs. Tennessee: This used to be a fun game every year because Alabama people hate Tennessee people and vice-versa.  Now it's turned into an annual orange stomping.  Take Bama BIG.
• Oklahoma vs. Texas Tech: The Sooners have won 39 straight in Norman.  Take number 40 to the bank.  Take Oklahoma.
• Wisconsin vs. Michigan State: This is a huge game for both these teams.  Michigan State has a great defense, Wisconsin has Russell Wilson. I still believe Wisconsin is the best team in the Big Ten this year.  Now they need to prove me right.  Take Wisconsin.

Pro

• Chicago vs. Tampa Bay (London): As good as the Bears looked against the Vikings Sunday night, one thing keeps bugging me.  The Bucs got to London on Monday while the Bears are just arriving.  If you factor in a seven hour time difference and an eight hour flight, and believe that the day after the day is when you hit the wall, the Bears will flame out in the second half. Thant and Kellen Winslow Jr. will torture the Bears all afternoon long.  Take Tampa Bay.
• Houston vs. Tennessee: With the Colts and Jags falling weekly, this a battle for control of the AFC South.  Houston has a lot of injuries, maybe more then they can overcome.  The Titans are doing okay, save for that game against Pittsburgh where they got spanked.  Whatever they are calling the stadium in Nashville these days is a tough place to play and it gets very loud (the bald guy used to cover the Titans.  I asked him about it.) I think with this game being played in the Music City, the Titans have a slight edge. Take Tennessee.
• Atlanta vs. Detroit: Atlanta has been playing much better than they day in the beginning of the season, while Detroit has regressed the last couple of weeks.  Atlanta is no stranger to playing in a dome and that will help them.  Take Atlanta.
• Green Bay vs. Minnesota:  Adrian Peterson could have a huge day and Christian Ponder could light up the aging and injured Packers secondary.  Then again, I could sprout wings from my butt and fly over the stadium.  Take Green Bay.
• Kansas City vs. Oakland: The Raiders are starting Carson Palmer who hasn't seen one second of action this season.  That said, they Chiefs are lousy.  If the Raiders lose this game, Al Davis will re-emerge from his recent stay in hell and haunt the entire team.  Take Oakland.
