Did you know that there are 32768 (2 to the 15th power) possible choices for your picks for any given week? Why? Because there are 15 games, and there are two choices possible for each game (home team or visitor). Thus 2 choices for the 1st game and 2 choices for the 2nd game and ... 2 choices for the 15th game which equals 2 to the 15th power.
This makes a few assumptions, such as each team for a given game has a decent chance of winning. But with the close games that cnestg8r has chosen, for any matchup in which the the point spread is 7 or less, there is roughly a 50-50 chance for either team winning, based on the stats that cnestg8r has kept over the years.
So if you have a tough time making your picks, this is why.

Well this week sure went to total garbage. On a happy note though, I did go to the tennessee/memphis game last night to enjoy watching tennessee destroy memphis 50-14, that was great. There was hardly any blue in the stands come the 4th quarter, I would say 85 to 90% of memphis fans cleared the stands by the end of the 3rd quarter. The only blue you really saw was from the band & the cheerleaders lol.

Well, at least you didn't finish 2 weeks out of three 7-8 like I did. I question why you went with some of the picks you did? I was just points away on 2 games at least of finishing 12-3 this week. The Illinois Michigan game was one, and I think maybe the North Carolina, Fla State game was another. So I'll take 10-5 though.

Miss Kitty I think you were 8-7. I try to keep up with who finished where hoping each week I will move up some. Hope the picks will be on here before I leave around 9:15 for church. I sat up and watched the entire USC AZ. State game until it was over last night and that was around 12:30 a.m.! Not to mention I watched my Vols literally tar and feather the Memphis Tigers 50-14 here at the Liberty Bowl. My son was at the game. We needed that freshman QB Tyler Bray playing all season for us, we might be 5-4 now instead of 3-6. But he will get to prove himself the last 3 games against Ole Miss, Vandy and Kentucky, two of three are home games for us.

All Hail Queen Iris! Gigantic 4 game lead! We are humbled by your picks. Perhaps next year you can have pre-season training camp.
Watch out for the bowl games.
Thank you for your vote of confidence. It is only luck. And am sure the bowl games will kick me. I thought I only got 12 correct this weekend. Did I miss something? Go LSU.
