This Week's Picks

The first week of the college football season started with an incredible surprise. Jacksonville State, which is known as a bigger party school than Georgia Southern, if you can believe that, beat Ole Miss. Of course, those of you that are members of the This Week’s Picks Golden Platinum Plan, would have known that Jacksonville (Not In Florida) State was going to beat Old Mess because I predicted it there for only members of the This Week’s Picks Golden Platinum Plan. Would you like to join This Week’s Picks Golden Platinum Plan? For only $500.00 (in cash) you can receive all the wealth of my insight on all of the games in The FBS, the FCS, Division II, Division III, NAIA, JUCO, and BACKYARD TWO HAND TOUCH games. You will also receive a coffee mug.

This week’s picks!

War Tigers vs The Other Bulldogs: Sometimes here at Picks Central we get a wild hair and pick Mississippi State. When that happens, we get a hammer and hit our head. Auburn is the better team. Auburn will win.

Our Lady vs Meechigan: Michgan has hit hard times. Notre Dame is trying the latest in a series of coaches that will bring the program back to where it was when TV had only four channels. Michigan beat Connecticut last week. They should be Notre Dame. They won’t; Notre Dame wins.

Georgy vs The Fighting Game Birds: Every season, UGA starts its SEC schedule with South Carolina. UGA looked good last week, but South Carolina looked better against a better team. A.J. Green may/may not play. The old ball coach wants this game bad. Even so, I cannot predict a South Carolina win. Bulldogs win.

Rocky Tops vs The Quackers: When Derek Dooley’s Dad was the coach of the Bulldogs, every week, it seemed, at least from Coach Dooley’s standpoint, that it would be a miracle that the Bulldogs won. Derek will know the same feeling, except this time it is for real and not modesty. Oregon wins.


The Lions Of Nittany vs The Tide of Crimson: This is the first of the million competitive games Bama must play in order to play Boise State in January. (Boise is playing Nevada Polytechnic and Mining College-“The Fighting Calculators” this week.) Until they give me reason to think otherwise, I have to go with Bamy. Bamy wins.

Georgia Southern vs Navy: As reported last week, Mrs. Picks and I traveled to Statesboro (or as it is pronounced there, “Statesburr”) and watched the Eagles destroy Savannah State. We learned a couple of things. One, if your ticket reads “General Admission” this is means you sit on the grass, no matter how much you paid for your tickets and no matter what the chick at the official College Bookstore told you it meant. Secondly, after the game, a fan decided to light some wacky tobacco and smoke it while walking back to campus. Other than that, everything was great. This Saturday, The Eagles will get hurt by Navy. Navy wins.

Edinboro vs West Chester: Our favorite Fighting Scots avenged their loss to West Liberty in the playoffs by going to wherever West Liberty is and kicking some West Liberty butt. This week, they are looking at you, West Chester. Edinboro wins.

Birmingham Southern vs Faulkner University: Last week, Mrs. Picks thought I was being just a little too cute by saying “The Panthers will win” since both BSC and LaGrange are “The Panthers”. Okay: BSC wins.
