yesterday was not kind to drtony
altho the late score by east carolina did salvage the over

won all my hoops plays
but lost both hockey and went 2-4
in the bowls
ugh!
the illini- who knew!


on to today
big surprise- but i love al the dogs!



took army and under light
gotta love the military academies in bowls

as for the rest


syracuse pick
under 48


tenn +1
over 50

washington +13


nba
magic knicks over212

college

youngstown -3.5
s alabama under
long beach state


hockey
blackhawks -40
la kings -04

best of luck to all in the den
may all have a safe healthy prosperous adn blessed new year!

the cuse
big east gets no love
and arguably they shouldnt
but that does set the stage for great valu
it would b one thing if this were a big 12 stud
but this is k st
and they blow on the road
playing in yankee stadium will b like a home game for the orange
who should b able to run all day long on the porous k st run d
orange d can b stingy and played well down the stretch
lie the under

tenn
both teams blow
one because they r a bunch of cheaters
the other because their former coach was a cheatwer and now the cubbard is bare
but the vols are at home and should have a motivational edge over the more talented tar heel bunch with all their suspensions and turmoil
neither team defends well
should b a shootout in the music city
look for tenn frosh qb to throw a game winning td late

goign against the drtony trend twice today
didnt dwell on it for the army game since it already started long before my post

but THE FAVORITES ARE 8-5
AND THE SU WINNERS ARE 8-5

in other words
pick the winner - and they have covered the spread in a merino like stat of 100%

btw
i keep quoting this merino guy
but who is he?
does anybody know ?
all kidding aside
the points have yet to b a factor

will the cadets hold on and win su to keep the trend perfect?

anyway
i will defy the trend with the washington pick because

WASHINGTON
got waxed by the huskers earlier this year
nebraska can only b so excited about replaying a team they already killed in a meaningless bowl for a conference they no longer represent
huskies on the other hand are ecstatic to b here
because they have sucked for a very long time
and jake locker may wish to use this game as a launching pad towards the nfl draft
not often huskies on in prime time
jake may try to bask in the sunlight
do not
repeat
do not expect a huskie win
but do think they can hang within 2 tds
of a lethargic husker team that demolished them once this year


knicks over
rested teams on antional tv
like playing overs
tv timeouts etc give this a different flow
kind of like overs on mnf
also should b fairly close game
so might benefit from fouls and free throws down the stretch


blackhawks
sharks beat us out there
but kane and hossa return
crawford should b over the flu
and the madhouse on madison has been a house of horrors for the sharks
we have already faced niemi once
and he played lights out
adrenaline buzz gone
hawks take care of business at home

la kings
kings were rolling til they got blitzed last night
should c a focused group tonight at home vs the flyers
may set up nicely as an under too

college
youngstown-3.5
college pod
uic beat illini at home during finals
illini were lethargic
uic lines are now reflecting some flame love
but they will not win on the road
youngstown easy here

may all in the den b blessed!
