I usually don't like to beat a dead horse, but I have to admit I do derive a great deal of pleasure out of pointing out the flaws and ineffectiveness of the Notre Dame football program. Truth be told Notre Dame hasn't been a national powerhouse since Lou Holtz coached them a gazillion years ago. From Bob Davies to Ty Willingham to Charlie Weiss and now Brian Kelly Notre Dame has a long list of failed architects who have tried to resurrect the mystique Notre Dame once had. Turning out quarterbacks like Rick Mirer, Brady Quinn, and Jimmy Clausen doesn't give your program the elite status tag. Furthermore Notre Dame will not be bowl eligible for the umpteenth straight year and this week they face an embarrassed, angry Utah team. Utah got the snot piss kicked out of them last week by TCU and guess who they're going to take their frustrations out on? That's right, the gold helmet guys. Notre Dame will lose by 30 points. Ok, enough about the Irish. Here are some bonus picks from Cleavie The Greek.
Arizona over USC. I missed it by one point last week, but the avalanche following USC is still in motion. USC is hanging on with bubble gum and aluminum foil right now. Arizona will seize the time and possibly make their way to a BCS bowl.
South Carolina over Florida. South Carolina has been sub par since their signature win over Alabama, but Florida brought bad karma on themselves by leaking the story about Cam Newton. Yes I believe Urban Meyer had something to do with that.
Pittsburgh over New England. The battle for AFC supremacy will be a close one and the winner will have a leg up for the #1 playoff seed. The Steelers are starting to put it together while the Pats are re-inventing themselves after the loss of Randy Moss. It's still a work in progress.
Minnesota over Chicago. There is a mutiny taking place in Minnesota, but every game is a playoff game for the Vikes from here on out. They will find a way to beat an average Chicago team.
Tennessee over Miami. The Randy Moss show begins in Tennessee in fine fashion at the expense of the Dolphins. They picked the wrong week to start tinkering with the quarterback position.
Next week is the return of you know who. Get your notepads ready and adjust your checkbooks accordingly.
