Welcome back to another exciting edition of "More chances to horribly, publicly, embarrassingly wrong: CGB style!"
This is a somewhat exciting week because it's the first one in a while with 6 games on tap.
Without further ado, let's dive in!
Last week recap
First, let's take a look at the overall leaderboard and see who helped their case last week.
Please ignore my misspelling of the word Week as well :) typing on Caltrain is hard!
Reef maintains his overall lead with an impressive 75% correct, while I (boomtho) bungled my way into 4/5 correct picks.
Looking at the detail, the Utah and Oregon games were correctly picked at the highest rate, with the other 3 games each getting 3/5 correct picks. Overall, a very good week for the writers!
This week's picks
Oregon "at" Cal (grumble grumble neutral site game)
Tough week projected for the Bears as 4/6 writers think that Cal loses by more than 19. I think it's supposed to rain, so that might work out in our favor.
Nam Le: I could see it either way...but common sense says the Ducks.
Ruey Yen: Bears keep it relatively close
Reef: This is a really hard week.
Vincent S: I'm assuming most of our pass rush is still injured here.
Berkelium97: Royce Freeman
boomtho: Oregon too explosive for us to contain, and the Ducks get after Goff
UCLA at Colorado
Again, nearly unanimous picks with Ruey the sole believer in Colorado.
Nam Le: I believed in Colorado last week. Call it gambler's remorse.
Ruey Yen: Bruins don't cover again
Reef: This is a really hard week.
Vincent S: [No comment]
Berkelium97: Colorado has already lost by 13+ at home to Colorado State and ASU. I don't see why UCLA can't accomplish the same feat.
boomtho: Colorado's defense very vulnerable through the air (see: Kessler, 7 TD's) and Hundley is good enough to take advantage
OSU at Furd
An even split! This one is tough to call - think everyone believes in Furd's defense but no one is convinced Furd can score 14+ points.Nam Le: Stanford's having trouble SCORING two touchdowns, let alone beating someone by that much.
Ruey Yen: Furdies also deserve some homec.oming disappointments.
Reef: This is a really hard week.
Vincent S: [No comment]
Berkelium97: Picking the Lobsterbacks to beat anyone by double digits seems unwise.
boomtho: Furd might only score 14 but they smother Mannion
Arizona at Washington State
Nam Le: I don't think Zona is very good anyway, but they're coming off a bye and a loss to USC that should have been prevented. Think that's worth more than 2.5 points.
Ruey Yen: Zona is the better team
Reef: This is a really hard week.
Vincent S: [no comment]
Berkelium97: With a week off to refocus and get ready for the final stretch of the season, Wazzu could be primed to get the upset win.
boomtho: Just think Zona is better
USC at Utah
Nam Le: Pick em...and you guys know by now I like USC more than most.
Ruey Yen: When in doubt, go with the home team.
Reef: This is a really hard week.
Vincent S: [no comment]
Berkelium97: Every three weeks USC turns in a terrible performance. Guess how many weeks it has been since their last faceplant.
boomtho: USC vulnerable on the ground, but think their talent and athleticism is too much to overcome
ASU at UW
Nam Le: Rumors (as of pick time) say it'll be Taylor Kelly instead of Bercovici. Well, alright.
Ruey Yen: ASU win over Furd was impressive
Reef: This is a really hard week.
Vincent S: [no comment]
Berkelium97: Even if Kelly doesn't end up starting I would pick ASU. The Sun Devils have been too good over the past two games.
boomtho: huck the fuskies
Wrap up
Lots of consensus this week - ASU is unanimous and Arizona and Colorado are nearly there. Join us next Thursday (same time, same place, same everything!) to see how this week went!
