Before I review my 5 for this weekend, allow me to revisit the picks for week 1.
South Florida at #16 Notre Dame - Line: Notre Dame (-10.5)My Prediction: USF with the points - Notre Dame 24 – South Florida 21
Actual Score: USF 23 – ND 20
I had a feeling that South Florida would win, but I wouldn’t have put money on it. But after watching that mess….
Notre Dame’s play looks like “Mildew over Boo-Boo”. Michigan is gonna dust them under the lights Saturday. Don't act surprised Coach Kelly. You knew they were sorry before you took the job.
#5 Boise State vs. #19 Georgia - Line: Boise State (-3.5)
My Prediction: UGA straight up - #19 Georgia 24 - #5 Boise State 23
Actual Score: BSU 35 – UGA 21
Damn, I guess this means we are going to have to hear this Boise in the BCS mess all year long…. AGAIN!
#4 LSU vs. #3 Oregon - Line: Oregon (-4)My Prediction: LSU straight up - #4 LSU 21 - #3 Oregon 17
Actual Score: LSU 40 – Oregon 27
Was anyone outside Eugene, Oregon surprised? I wasn’t expecting 40, especially with “Pick-6 Lee” at QB.
#8 Texas A&M vs. SMU - Line: Texas A&M (-15.5)
My Prediction: Texas A&M laying the points - #8 Texas A&M 35 – SMU 10
Actual Score: TA&M 46 – SUM 14
Welcome to the SEC Aggies. It will be interesting to see how your final year of Big 12, 11, 10, 9 will pan out. Look forward to that meeting with Baylor.

| Maryland Unis vs. Two-Face - No One Wins. |
Miami at Maryland - Line: Maryland (-3)My Prediction: Miami straight up - Miami 31 – Maryland 17
Actual Score: Maryland 32 – The U 24
This is NOT the U that I remember. I blame those traffic accident jerseys Maryland were wearing. You can't tell if its a Maryland football player, or that crazy dude from the old school Batman cartoons.
Better yet, I blame the removal of Shapiro. If I was able to go on yacht trips, pop bottles every weekend, and find $100 stacks in my locker after games…. And all of it disappeared…. I would need a game or two to get my mind together as well.
Record this week: 3-2
Record for the year: 3-2
