Pick It and Stick It: Confidently Digging In

picking-nose

Here we go strolling into the second week of picks for the KCCGD crew.  Last week saw some impressive (and embarrassing) numbers.  With a new confidence system on top of the picks, we’ve found getting used to it somewhat challenging.  Nevertheless, this week finds the matchups a little easier to swallow.   There aren’t as many ranked teams going against each other.   We were treated to an upset or two last week.  Will we see it again?  We’ll find out over the weekend but until then set your picks and assign confidence to them.  Heeeyaw!

So there’s nothing too surprising here.  The Penn State vs Syracuse matchup is a little wide.   Maybe Greg Paulus will blossom a little more and keep the game closer.   Senses kicked in and Florida is no longer a 70 piont favorite for a non conference game.  The closer games include the Notre Dame vs Michigan matchup as well as the USC vs Ohio State matchup.  Those two will be the games of the week for sure.  Big 12 wise, everyone ranked is favored by 11 points or more.  It should be an easy week.  As last week taught us, though, there could still be an upset lurking.  Good luck!
