After seeing #4 ranked Ole Miss get taken down by Coach Fun & Gun on ESPN’s Thursday Night College Football will this start a trend for week 4? Some big upsets & shake-ups to the polls this past week so who will solidify themselves as a National Contender??? Will USC’s true Freshman Matt Barkley help USC bounce back from a devastating loss to the Huskies? Will Tim Tebow guide the Gators to a romping of the Kentucky Wildcats after a lack luster performance against Lane Kiffin? Will Tony Dorsett’s comments fuel Romo’s fire to perform or collapse on MNF vs. DeAngelo Williams and the Caroline Panters and will the Detroit Losers pick up their first W since ‘Nam?
Mr. BurgerBets Picks
NCAA Games
VTECH +3 over Miami: I love Miami’s squad, and I love Jacory Harris and they have skyrocketed up polls rightfully so. But I don’t think they’re ready to go into Blackburg and lay 3. Take the points, go Hokies.
PSU -9.5 over Iowa: LOCK OF THE WEEK. ESPN Gameday is at State College and the White Out is in full effect (they are even planning on whiting out the Gameday broadcast with blank white posters). Iowa crushed Penn State’s opportunity to go to the National Championship last year and its payback time. Take the Nitts. WE ARE PENN STATE!
FSU -14 over South Florida: I know what you’re saying, “You’ve been hanging out with the BurgerBoy too much BurgerBets, this is a classic let down game.” I know, I know, FSU smoked BYU last week and I would normally be on the USF side here, but they are without QB Matt Grothe for the first time since ‘nam. Lay the 14 and buy the BurgerBoy a Big Mac.
NFL GAMES
DET +6.5 over Wash: I know I am betting on a team that has lost 19 straight games, I am well aware of that. But the Redskins stink. Put it this way, I am considering taking the Lions to win straight up. Barring a Lions rehiring of Matt Millen, this is a LOCK.
Tenn +3 over NYJ: Holdddddd it Jets fans…. just hold on right there. Yes, you beat the Pats, congrats, I love Rex Ryan. But this is a classic let down game. The Titans, and their smashmouth style(with CJohnson mixed in), are winning this game for sure. Bet your week’s burger money.
Carolina +8.5 over DAL: LOCK OF THE YEAR. This is a joke. I mean what is Vegas thinking? Carolina NEEDS this win. Dallas’ secondary is in shambles, Steve Smith should have a HUGE day. I think 50-50 Carolina wins this game outright, but take the points. I am already thinking about how I am going to spend this money. Thanks Vegas… idiots.
**Giants are weekly lock for the duration of the season!!**

so are some solid picks Mr. BurgerBets, but that Carolina covering +8.5 vs. Dallas scares yours truly. granted, they need the win, but dem Cowboys come to play on MNF at home. Jake Delhomme also has a deadly combination of SARS and the H1N1. get him to the choppa

First off, for those of us who took practice a little too lax in High School, and ended up playing D3 sports(yours truly) should look at this picture and see why it pays to put in a few extra reps each day!! That said, some of us should also stick to what we are good at, and burger boy…stick to picking burgers not games!! My grandmother had better picks then you this week and she sticks to the “fool Proof” method of who has the prettiest colors.
