Results Week of Oct 31

Ouch! This is one week you just want to tear up and throw away. At least, I admitted up front that I didn't have a good sense of the games this week. And remember, there is an exception to every rule (especially the 2 I mentioned in my post).

This week:
Overall: 9-18
College 6-9
Pros 3-9
Locks 3-2

Year to Date:
Overall: 43-40 (51.8%)
College: 25-19 (56.8%)
Pro: 18-21 (46.2%)
Locks: 10-5 (66.7%)

Honestly, very few lines are jumping out at me this week. That means it's a tough week to pick. When that's the case, I usually play by a few general rules:
1) When bad teams collide, take the points.
2) Play the best teams against bad teams until they prove you wrong.

Rule #1 applies to games like Iowa St and Texas A&M and the pro Tennessee vs. Jacksonville game. Rule #2 applies to OU, Colts, Chargers, and Saints. Sometimes you just have to play the odds.
