Brandon's 55 Percenters


Welcome back to the fifty five percenters bitches! I love my picks this weekend, so let’s load up and make some cash. To the picks...

Arizona / USC Under 50

These are two teams with solid defenses and mediocre offenses. This total is definitely too high and fits in the fifty five percenter category. Now, as long as Pete Carroll doesn’t get douchey again and run up the score, we should be good.

Nebraska +14 over Texas

This probably sounds Ochocinco crazy, but I really like Nebraska getting two touchdowns. First off, the Lornhorns have been playing the crappy Big 12 all year and winning a lot of games by 7-10 points. Second, despite an offense that looks like Art Shell coaches it, the Nebraska defense is seriously good. Ndamukong Suh is an absolute monster at DT and with a name that great, is a mortal lock to become an NFL stud too. I will even say something shocking: this has all the makings of one of the biggest college football upsets in a long time. In the end, my prediction would be a very close, competitive game with Zach Lee (Neb QB) throwing a late pick or two to end up losing by about 10. Give me the points please.

Oakland Al Davis’ +14.5 over STEELERS

Just giving way too many points for a team that isn’t that good. Folks, these aren’t last year’s Steelers, we all need to accept that. Now, I will say that after three losses, it is perfectly reasonable to think that the Steelers will blow Al Davis and Friends out of the water to get back on track. But I repeat, these Steelers are a mediocre team. They don’t have that in them. Throw in their stud receiver throwing their QB under the bus and this team may be more likely to beat the shit out of EACH OTHER. As always, give me our boy Al plus the points.

Patriots -4 over DOLPHINS

The Patriots got smoked by the Saints, but the Saints also look unbeatable at home right now. The Dolphins are not the same offense without Ronnie Brown running the wildcat and Chad Henne was exposed against the Bills last week. I like Tony Sparano, but I don’t see him pulling out any magic here, even though he has plenty of room to hide some in those pants of his. Have you seen these things? It looks like he is wearing a hot air balloon below his waist. Give Sparano a tailor and me the Pats to win comfortably.

Vikings -3.5 over CARDINALS

Let’s see, a team that has struggled at home, an aging QB with post concussion symptoms and a team that locked up their division 5 weeks ago. Not a good recipe for beating a 10-1 team that has looked great the past few weeks. I also mention in the podcast that Arizona is letting up 6+ yards per carry in their last three games. APete hasn’t had a monster game yet this year and I think this is his first. Vikes, big, unfortunately.

All Time of ADPTP: 12-8-1 (.595)
Last Week: 3-3-1 (.500)
