One of my friends, Bobby, always asks me: "do you feel confident today?"
My answer to him is always the same: I always feel confident in my picks. Does that mean I don't get nervous on the days I give my picks out? Absolutely not. I feel on game days the same way I used to feel prior to a big athletic event I was going to be involved in. I'm damn nervous.
This isn't an absolute business. Unlike what some charlatans would like you to believe, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A LOCK!
Tonight's the night for which I've been waiting. Oklahoma St. has won three games with a lot of points scored against weak teams. I hope it's obscured the fact with linemakers that the Cowboys have a new QB, less than 1 starter back on the O-line, and an inexperienced receiving corps. On defense, they have only 4.5 starters back, including no returning cornerbacks!
They play a team in Texas A&M that has possibly the best returning QB in the Big 12 in Jerrod Johnson, a deep arsenal of talent at both the running back and receiver positions, and, 8 starters back on defense, including 2nd team AA LB Miller who had 17 sacks!!!!! last year(yeah, you read that right, 17 sacks!).
So, yes, as usual I am confident in my pick, Bobby. But, like that big game I was ready to pitch against my arch-rivals in a recent playoff, softball game, I am also damn nervous. I repeat: in this business, there are no locks, or guarantees.
In a 3*** star recommendation, take TEXAS A&M OVER OKLAHOMA ST.
