Pick It and Stick It: Spreading It Thin

bigpicker

It’s another Friday and it’s time for another Pick It and Stick It update.  This weekend we have a couple of intriguing match ups and some obvious picks as well.  The picks were all done and set way back Wednesday for the Purple Yeti.  Let’s hope everyone else remembered.  I guess that’s the ‘Stick It’ portion of the fantasy league.   Some of you may be wondering wht the ‘Spread’ portion of the table means.  The ‘Spread’ is how many points the favored team must win by to get a win.  This helps out immensely when a sure blow out is about to happen.  This also helps out the folks in Vegas to justify booking those kind of lopsided match ups.  So without further ado, here’s this week’s pick set:

Arkansas VS (23) Georgia 1 Sat, Sep 19 at 6:45 pm
(2) Texas VS Texas Tech 17.5 Sat, Sep 19 at 7:00 pm

So let’s take a look at what we have this week.  Kansas should make up the spread with Jake Sharp turning on the running game in Lawrence.  Maybe Jim Tressel will coach up Terrel Pryor and have them score more than 13 points agianst Toledo.  It will come down to the last drive when Nebraska plays Virginia Tech.  Florida will probably double the spread on Tennessee because of all of the smack talking this week.  It’s too close to call for Arkansas vs Gerogia.   Revenge time for Colt McCoy and the Texas Longhorns.  The 17.5 point spread might not be enough as the Red Raiders are rebuilding and the Longhorns will be ready to pownce come Saturday.  Finally Oklahoma and Landry Jones will light it up even more against Tulsa.  Sam Bradford who?
