11-1-08 College Football Picks

Well, a 2-4 record last week was not what I was looking for. I will be the first to tell you that I am upset with my performance last week, and will look to redeem myself this coming Saturday. First, a message from the excuses department. The real key factor to my losing record past saturday was my 0-3 start to the day. I was flabbergasted when I saw the final stats. Boston College, Northwestern, and Cincinnati combined for a whopping 14 turnovers. On top of that, they were -13 in the turnover margin. You can’t win games nor cover the spread with this kind of a performance. I felt somewhat better when I saw that ESPN “experts” had similar picks to myself, but then quickly went back to a sigh of despair when I thought about my 0-3 morning. Now back to regularly scheduled programming. Bare with me this weekend, as I will bounce back like I have time and again.

Once again, I will be using the lines given by Sportsbook.com. I will post one pick against the spread in each of the “Big Six” conferences, along with a breif analysis. Allow me to use the moniker given to the 2008 USA Olympic Basketball Team, as I will call this “Redemption Weekend.” (Lame, I know, but what do you expect from a guy in my position?)

Enough with the past, on to the November 1st picks…

10-25-08 College Football Picks

Well, a long overdue abscence from the SportsColumn has subsided.  Due to my success this year with the picks I’ve been making in my office pool, I will be posting my picks every week for the rest of the college football season.  We all know this has already been an exciting season with many twists and turns, so please don’t go bet your homes on these picks.  (Unless your home is about to be forclosed due to your awful subprime mortgate you received.)

I have truly been a terror on the betting lines this year, I only hope I can pass along some good luck to all of you sports enthusiasts.  Each week I will be picking a game from each of the “Big Six” conferences with a breif analysis alongside.  I will be using the lines from Sportsbook.com.  (They didn’t pay for that advertisement.)  I’m going to try to get my column up on here by Thursday of each week.  Now that all of the rules and regulations are aside, without further adieu, The First Annual Steffey Report…

Cheesy Drumroll Please…

Yes Virginia- There is a Santa Claus and We Can Still Play Just as Good as We Used To…

This is a true story. The names of the teams, the place and date have been intentionally left out to preclude the possibility of our team trophy being taken away because of the negligible contribution of two old men.
