Why not sign up for this week's college football picks? I will be working every FBS game this week, with a couple of possible exceptions. All you have to do is glance over to the right on this page. You'll see a horse racing, weekend offer that costs only $8.00. Click that link. You'll get all my college football picks for that low cost.
As of Monday evening, I've already worked 4 games, and released one game to my clients, better known as my "cleeps" to the handicapping world. I am holding off making decisions on the other games, pending information I'll be gathering during the week.
Last week, I lost on my Over pick with TCU/Texas game, went 5-1 on my second favorite day of the college football year, Black Friday, then followed that on Saturday with a 4-3 record vs. the spread. My final record for my cleeps was 9-5.
This is going to be a fun, final, big weekend of college football. Why not spend an unbelievably inexpensive amount to sign up and enjoy it with my College Edge crew!

#AWedding and #FreeEnterprise: Perfect Together!(This is not an Endorsement)
I went to a wedding the other night and a great understanding of the free enterprise system broke out!
I have a friend, who we'll call Ed, who owns a convenience store, and, I was lucky enough to be invited to his daughter's wedding. You know how weddings work: at some weddings you sit with the family; at others you're with the groom's, or, bride's friends. At this wedding I was at the work table. I sat with the store's workers, suppliers and service contractors. We had all become friends at the store, and, we were at the funkiest tables in the hall.
At some point in the night, after my fourth drink, or, after my dance-a-phobic wife boogied down a Soul Train-like line dance, I realized all these different partiers, from varying economic and racial backgrounds, were brought together because of a gutsy decision my buddy made years before: to open his own business!
Like most of us, I'm guessing Ed was trying to figure out how he was going to make a living. I'm sure he had no idea that in deciding to open his store, and running it about as good as anyone can, he'd, like George Bailey in "It's a Wonderful Life," touch so many other lives.
Like the life of Jim, seated to my left, who has been an employee at the store for years; like the life of Sal the Plumber, who not only can't dance, but, has fixed every plumbing job the store's needed for years, and has gotten untold other jobs from Ed's recommendations; like Ricky the Produce Man( yeah, we all have nicknames), who may not know how to tie a tie, but, who became the most trusted man when it came to fruit and veggies because Ed gave him an opportunity to sell his wares in a spot in the store; and like Ed's daughter, Melanie, the star of the night, who has come to run Ed's store (almost) as efficiently as her dad.
Then I thought of the 20 or so other employees who weren't there and weren't lucky enough to see me dance, or the Dorito's, Tastycake, Pepsi and garbage guys I've come to know who have income producing routes because of Ed and other store owners just like him, or, the countless others that have benefited from Ed's decision that I was too bombed to remember.
I sat there over my chocolate wedding cake and multiplied the lives Ed's touched by the millions of other lives that have been touched by others, like Ed, who had the guts to start a business.
I love free enterprise. I love living in a country that allows it to exist. Without endorsing anyone on the eve of another important election, I'll vote for the candidates who'll give guys like Ed, not the guaranteed chance to succeed, but, the best chance to succeed.
After the party high wears off, I may still not be able to explain how this whole free enterprise thing works, but, for now, I want to thank Ed for inviting me to a wonderful wedding!

#HandicappingSeminar: N.D.-Okla Under, A Win!!!!
I thought the line on the Notre Dame- Oklahoma game was just about where it should've been. The line that attracted my attention was the under in the game. Like most observers, I see the Irish as a very strong defensive team with questions on offense. Like most observers, I went into research on the Sooners thinking they had a powerful offense and good defense. What surprised me were the Okla. stats in the KSU and Texas Tech games. In both games, they gained only 121 yards on the ground, or less, and, in the former game, they scored only 19 points. I had little doubt the Irish defense was just as good as KSU's , and much better than Texas Tech's.
I also had little doubt the Oklahoma defense, with 7.5 returning starters, and a strong defensive backfield, could hold the very average Irish offense in check.
The Irish did their job, playing well, defensively, against the Sooner offense. What almost cost me a loss in the pick was how successfully the Irish moved the ball vs.Stoops' defense.Thank goodness the Irish only allowed 13 points versus the QB Landry Jones-led offense. It was less than what I expected Okla. would score and resulted in our final win of a very good day!

#HandicappingSeminar: UCF over Marshall, A Win
The College Edge pick of UCF over Marshall was my most confident pick of the day. UCF is one of the traditional top teams in the CUSA. They were also rated considerably higher than Marshall according to my College Edge team ratings, and, still, the line on the game was dropping( I got the line at UCF -1). I love it when the public is against me, as they were in this contest.
I really like Marshall this year, and I've been really impressed with the play of Thundering Herd QB Cato.BUT, the public is easily taken by a team that is playing well, particularly a team that isn't used to playing that way.
The reality was Marshall was playing a team in UCF that has a great coach in O'Leary,a very good nucleus of returning starters from the 2011 squad( 15 returnees), and a proven pedigree. My confident pick turned into an easy win as UCF dominated in a 54-17 win.

#HandicappingSeminar:OSU-PSU under, A Loss
In our only loss of the day, we gave out the under in the OSU-PSU, Ineligibl Bowl. Call me a non-believer in QB McGloin of PSU. I just didn't think the Nits QB would move the ball successfully against an Ohio St. team that, admittedly hasn't played that well on defense this year, but, still, has 9 starters back from the 2011 team.
On Ohio St.'s offensive side of the ball, my hope was QB Miller, coming off a mild concussion in the Purdue game, would helm a conservative game plan that would keep hits to his body at a rarity. I was wrong. Miller played a great game, and, threw our under play into diarray. It resulted in our only losing pick of the day.
