JetsFan28 0 Posted August 20, 2006 I absolutely love Colin's show and get pissed off daily when they cut him off at noon for the babbling moron who is Stephen A. Smith. Last year, Colin went 9-1 I think it was with his "best bets." This year, he has 6 more. Take a look, what does everybody think? http://sports.espn.go.com/espnradio/news/s...e=underdogpicks Northern Illinois @ Ohio State Air Force @ Tennessee Colorado @ Georgia USC @ Arizona Iowa @ Michigan Nebraska @ Oklahoma State He picks the teams in bold to cover.

The Moose 0 Posted August 20, 2006 I'm not sure I like NIU over OSU, we'll be hearing about "Smith to Ginn" all year long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JetsFan28 0 Posted August 20, 2006 I'm not sure I like NIU over OSU, we'll be hearing about "Smith to Ginn" all year long. His reason is: "Ohio State will be distracted because they play at Texas the following week" I buy this. It's Week 1 and you don't think that they'll look right past this team to a huge matchup with the Longhorns? As of right now, N. Illinois is getting 18 pts.

Natural Lights 0 Posted August 20, 2006 Guy makes for an entertaining cup of coffeee in the morning. And his picks are solid. A little ND bias, so avoid games with them involved.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
z00g 0 Posted August 20, 2006 "Colin is not saying these teams will win..." Only that they might cover the spread. Oklahoma State will not win over NU, for example. Bet the farm, if you have one. Same with NIU and OSU. But the scores in those games probably won't be 45-0, either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gepetto 1,011 Posted August 20, 2006 I listen to Colin everyday and think he's hilarious/entertaining. Not sure where you got 9-1 other than him saying so, which I wouldn't put much stock in. One weekend last year he picked 5 college games vs. the spread (all were on ESPN of course) and he only got 2 out of 5 right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJJoe20 0 Posted August 20, 2006 His reason is: "Ohio State will be distracted because they play at Texas the following week" I buy this. It's Week 1 and you don't think that they'll look right past this team to a huge matchup with the Longhorns? As of right now, N. Illinois is getting 18 pts. NIU has the talent 1-20 to compete with OSU, after that not so much. I believe NIU will be starting two first/second round offensive lineman, an absolute stud at RB, and one of the most efficient quarterbacks in division one. On defense, well, this will be the difference in the game, if the Huskie starters can step up, they can make it a game, if not, OSU probably wins by a couple of touchdowns. Nevertheless, I think putting the money on NIU in this game is a wise decision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe it was the Michigan St. game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
