I'll have my writeup of the football picks later tonight or tomorrow morning after the pro games are over, but I have two observations from yesterday:

1.) Who is the new Wisconsin head coach, Art Schlichter? Why drive the ball down to the 10 at the end of the game and kick a meaningless field goal that does nothing but force the push? You were down by 17 points! Why kick? God, that was awful to watch.

2.) I have never seen a team quit so early and so completely as Michigan State last night. Hey guys, the game is 4 quarters long, not 3. Nice job keeping all of the Notre Dame lovers deluded for one more week. Jiminy Christmas, that was bad, too. And now I have the dilemma of claiming the pick as "correct" because I picked it against Thursday's 3.5 pt spread or as a push since it went out on Friday at an even 3. Not to mention that the Michigan State collapse was so complete that I feel like it's cheating unless I call it a loss, too. Man, that sucked.

UPDATE: Good Lord, this is ugly. After the twelve afternoon games today I am 2-10. I didn't pick Tampa or Seattle for the blog, so I am 0-4 on the blog picks with the Pats/Broncos game left for tonight. It's a common occurrence every year to have 1-2 weekends like this, just as it's common to have a great weekend like I did last week, so really we're just reverting to the mean, but man, this is ugly. I loaded up on the Bears and 49ers with actual wagers and now there will be some payments to be made tomorrow. I'll also have the wrapup posted within 24 hours, too. Now to go find a pillow to sit on...

C'mon, ask me a hard question. You should already know the answer to that!
