Mr. Penguin's Pigskin Picks

Photobucket


Due to the woman being pretty ill lately, there has been a delay in my vacation posting. But don’t worry, those post will come (hopefully) soon. In the meantime, I know my fans anxiously await a new post from me. Therefore, the man and I have decided to take posting matters into our own (very capable) hands.

Fall: leaves changing, warm days, crisp breezes, cool nights, pumpkins, apples, and cinnamon. These things are a great part of the season, but the thing I love best about fall is football. All day Saturday and Sunday I get to sit on the couch, eat snacks, occasionally sneak a taste of the man’s beer, watch football and have some male bonding time with the man. This year, we thought it would be fun to try to predict the outcomes for some of the games.

So now I would like to introduce a new weekly segment to my blog titled "Mr. Penguin's Pigskin Picks". Each week the man and I will be selecting a few games from around the country and try to predict the outcomes. If I were a betting penguin I would place money on these games, but penguin’s aren’t allowed to gamble. So do with this info what you will.

And now for this week’s picks:

Arizona State at Oregon State
First, Oregon State is favored by 3½ points over Arizona State. The Sun Devils should pull out the upset over an overrated Beaver team.

Georgia at Colorado
Georgia is a 5 point favorite over Colorado. I like the Bulldogs in this game even though they are traveling without their fallen mascot, Uga, who has yet to be replaced.

Miami at Clemson
The Miami Hurricanes are traveling to South Carolina for Clemson’s homecoming and are favored by 3½ points. I think Miami will win, even though they were beaten soundly by the man’s beloved Buckeyes.

Northwestern at Minnesota
In the Big 10, the underrated and high-powered offense of Northwestern, who is favored by 5½ points , should crush a Minnesota team in disarray.

Florida at Alabama
And, finally, a game with national title implications: Florida is traveling to Alabama and is an 8 point underdog. While ‘Bama should be able to pull out the win, it should be a lot closer than other “experts” think. Mr. Penguin says take the Gators and the points.


Feel free to leave your own picks in the comments and be sure to check back next week for a recap of these games and more exciting penguin pigskin picks.
