Hey Football fans, I Hope that you have been checking out the Arena Football here during the offseason.
The AFL Edge (http://www.theafledge.com) has been SLAMMING home winners at better than 60% all season, simply CRUSHING the Arena Football league.

We will be back here later this summer with our NCAA football preview and of course in the Fall with out slamming NCAA Football picks. But right now there is AWESOME ARENA FOOTBALL ACTION, get in on the fun over at the AFL EDGE (http://www.theafledge.com), and like our motto says...

GET THE WINNERS,
............GET THE EDGE!

...one for the road (or two or three)
The Skrok here, and if anyone still checks out this page, Thanks, and sorry I have not been able to get the picks on here more regularly. One final set of picks for the Season, and with any luck the Doc may be back to give you his Bowl picks.

Florida vs Florida State +8.5

Big rivalry game in the Sunshine state, the records won't matter in this one as this game is like a Playoff game of sorts. The Noles just haven't had the type of season that they are used to, even if they are at home. Urban Meyers group is still talking National Championship. Those Gator boys sure look to have the better team in this years classic, and of course so do I. The game will be hard hitting and tough, but in the end the final score will prove this to be a huge mismatch.

FLA 37 - FSU 20

Kansas at Missouri -6.5
A big match up in the Big 12. Kansas has been impressive after falling to 3-5 on the year, got in gear and is riding a three game win streak into this game. Missou had a promising 6-0 start but since have dropped 4 of 5. So here we got two teams going the opposite direction. Both teams are coming into this one with Bowl aspirations and the results of this border rivalry game will determine each schools fate. The trends coming into this one will prove to be deceptive and keeping the line down artificially. All the momentum chasing players will be left holding the bag as the Tigers will of course chew up the Jayhawks.

MISSOU 29 - KAN 20

Louisville at Pittsburgh +9.5
One final game from me for this college football season, as I may be breaking Greggys rule of picking more than one road team this week, but am adhering to his most important rule, and quitting while I am ahead. This one features new Big East rivals Louisville at Pittsburgh. Pitt comes into this one having dropped the previous 4 in a row. While they are at home and it's senior day and all I still can't see how they can hang with 1 loss Louisville who is still making a bid for a major bowl. They are getting a fat 9.5 at home, and as much as it kills me to say the Cardinal will best the Panther, this one will prove be no contest as I fly into the offseason on the back of the little red bird. See you over on the NBA Edge.

(ats = pointspreads as featured on

Notice the loss in week 10, that would be what happens when you pick against THE State University of New York University AT Buffalo, Bulls... that's right you LOSE
Buffalo 6-3 ATS this season... ahhh and they WON THE GAME that week also.

See when you mess with with Bulls, you get the Horns, son.
Should have quit while you were ahead (and a nice 3-0 otherwise might I add!!)
instead you had to go and fade the Bulls, now watch them go into Akron and cover the 17.5 on THURSDAY... hey ESPN... whassup??? I guess you can consider that a pick.

Then again my man Skrok, has been hitting at almost a 70% clip in college ball
Sure beating the lights out of what I got going on over at http://www.thenfledge.com

Reality is I hit the Skroks 3 picks AND MY BULLS for the biggest payoff I had all season...
unreal. The Skrok Rocks. Keep em coming my man!!

The Skrok is back, like it or not to give you 4 big plays for this weeks NCAA action.
There was a rumor that Doc Biff could be coming back, so I was on hiatus, but it looks like I been asked to come out of retirement. So down the stretch we come (in honor of the breeders cup, and of course the Louisville Cards with the clear path to the BCS) and here they come.

Missouri at Nebraska -5.5
This should be a gem in the big 12. Unlike years past this Missouri team is pretty good, they are coming in to this game with a 7 and 2 mark, and making plans for a post season bowl game. The Tigers have covered in 4 of the last 6 games. But most of that is at home, Missou is only 2-5 ATS in the last 7 road games, and haven't beaten Nebraska in the last 5 trips out there. While the Tigers used to be fodder for the Cornhuskers, with Nebraska having dominated the series, two years ago the Tigers snapped the Huskers winning strak with a 41-24 beat down in Missouri, then they did it again winning by the same score last year. That means that Missouri has now beaten Nebraska in two of the last 3 meetings. The one thing though is that both of those wins were at home, this week they go to Lincoln, which on Saturday the stadium will be the 3rd largest city in the state. The Huskers don't lose, except for that Texas game two weeks ago was the first loss there this season. The Huskers come into this one having dropped two straight. But some home cooking and a old whipping boy should be just the thing to get Lil' Red and his 80,000 friends jumping up and down again.

NEB 34 - MISSOU 17

Indiana at Minnesota -4.5
This game is one of those classic mismatches that we just love to snif out. Sure Minnesota has only won once in the last 6 games, and that one win was only a 1 point win over that football factory North Dakota, at home no less. Yet it is hard to really put blame on the Gophers as they faced Ohio State, Wisconsin, Penn State and Michigan in that stretch. Wouldn't exactly call that a cupcake schedule, and heck they did manage to cover against Penn St. Indiana comes into this one with a little more momentum having won three of the last 4 games, including upset wins over Iowa and Michigan state in that stretch. But heck that is the big 10 it's a battle every week. This will be no different, as it seems every big 10 game is for some kind of jug or axe or another weird trophy. The Gophers seem to have the inside track in this one as they have beaten Indiana in 5 of the last 7 meetings, and Indiana sports a 1-4 record A.T.S. on the road. Aside from that they are just a crappy team. The Gophers Go pher it and get it this week.

MINN 36 - IND 24

Penn St. at Wisconsin -6.5
Now this one is not one of those mismatches. No matter where the game is played Joe Pa is not to be counted out. Just think a few years ago they were calling for this guys head. Amazing what a guy who was "finished" wound up doing with that program. The Lions despite only being 3-5 A.T.S. are coming into this one with a two game winning streak. Penn State pitched a shutout in the win at Purdue last week, with the State covering the 3-point spread on the road. Tony Hunt ran for 142 yards and a touchdown, and Anthony Morelli threw for 182 yards for Penn State. So the Lions are lively and absolutely not fitting the profile I like to pick. Fortunately for me I was too late getting my picks up last week as Wisconsin failed to cover for the first time this season last week, as a 21 point favorite! Wisconsin had to score the final 20 points of the game to storm back and earn a 30-24 win over Illinois last week. Wisconsin QB John Stocco passed for 217 yards, one score, and an interception, while P.J. Hill Jr. was kept in check most of last week. So this one will be tough, but even with last weeks big scare these Badgers don't lose at home, and at 5-0 in the last 5 home games, I am thinking the final score won't reflect how close most of this game will be.

Kent St. at Buffalo +15.5
The Five star special, and only because a certain alum gives me a load of crap about both this site, and his "program on the rise" Bull smack (no literally talking smack about the Bulls=Bullsmack!) Sure they started the season 4-0 ATS and 5-1 ATS in the first 6 games, but the little glass slipper has fallen off the Bulls and shattered to bits with the harsh dose of reality as UB has been outscored 83-7 in the last two games. Home dogs and all, but really what home field advantage in Buffalo, they will be playing in front of what 400 people in three feet of snow up there. Most of them will be disguised as snowmen or Seatbacks, and even if Buffalo were to match their offensive production of the last two games and score a SINGLE TD, will anyone even notice. They should because if they do happen to score in this game, they can once again boast about how the program is on the way up again with the highest offensive output since early October. Imagine how much they will be crowing if they can actually score twice, in the same game! What a month it would be!
