Last Week (4-2) Overall (26-20-2)

As usual, when BurgerBets makes a guarantee, he delivers.  I said 4-2 last week anddddddddddd I went 4-2.  This week I am feeling good again and will most likely kill it.  See below my picks for a new feature on Burger Bowl, the “Reader’s Pick”, where I will post a Reader’s pick for the week that they sent to freemoney@theburgerboy.com. As always, HOME TEAM in CAPS:

NCAA Picks:

TEMPLE (-10.5) vs Kent. Dear Vegas, I will continue to bet the Temple Owls until you give them the respect they deserve.  All they do is win and win big every single week and most importantly COVER.  I don’t know much about Kent, but I do know that Al Golden has the Owl’s rolling and they have just been a cash cow for me so if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!  TU MUTHA ______!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ohio St (-12) @ MICHIGAN. Ohio State is already going to the Rose Bowl.  Normally this would have down week written all over it after their huge win against Iowa.  But this is Ohio St-Michigan people, the Buckeyes will be ready to play.  These teams have been going in opposite directions and it will continue this week.  Buckeyes 34 Wolverines 17.

NOTRE DAME (-6) vs UConn. I hate Notre Dame and I hate Jimmy Clausen.  But this is a good spot for the Irish.  They put up a fight against Pitt last week and Charlie Weis is probably going to get canned so he is playing with house money at this point.  P.S.  Sorry BurgerBoy, I know it is borderline illegal for an employee to pick against your Huskies (white dogs?) on your website, but I just LOVE this game too much to not do it.

NFL Picks:

BALTIMORE (+1.5) vs Indy. I know, I know.  “BurgerBets, what the burger are you thinking here!?!?!?”  Listen, I think the Colts are going to win too.  But this line is completely ludicrous!  This is the classic game where EVERYONE will bet the Colts bc the lines looks absurd and then afterwards everyone is like “God damn Vegas”.  Well, you are all welcome that you have me to read the writing on the wall for you.

NEW ENGLAND (-10.5) vs New York Jets. Its paybackkkkkkkkkkkk timeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I would take this spread if it were 20, I am dead serious.  If you think Bill Belichek is not running up the score this week you are NUTS.  The Pats O looks like it did in 2008 and they are coming off that headache of a L against the Colts that we all heard about all week.  The Jets beat them earlier this year and have talked smack all year…. I smell a blow out.  Pats 41 Jets 17.

HOUSTON (-4.5) vs Tennessee. And yes, the BurgerBets-Texans love affair continues.  I like how Tennessee is playing, and I expect Chris Johnson to blow up as usual, but this Texans team is well rested coming off the bye week.  I expect a ton of points in this game and for Houston to win by a TD.  Go Texans!

Reader’s Pick: 
“TEXAS (-27.5) vs Kansas. What dat dare is da greatest darn state in dees United States?  Texas!  Whose dat President of dem United States?  Troy Aikman!  Whats da best dang way to get to da bar?  Horse!  What does this feller use for a Christmas tree every December?  Tumbleweed!  What pet is da damned bestest for killin’ varmin?  Coyote!  Now whos gunna cover the score of dis damn game!?  TEXAS!”  -LobstersClaw

Ummmmmm thanks LobstersClaw… I think?  As always, Bet with me and your Burgers are free!!!!!!!  (note, the Texas pick is NOT mine)
