The Hilariously False Faith Of Notre Dame Fans

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are 7-0 this season, and they head into a huge battle against Oklahoma in Norman Saturday night. Through this current streak Notre Dame has managed to rank 77th in scoring, and 100th in passing offense.

The part that becomes hilarious is, if you listen to Notre Dame fans in forums and groups, you would think this is the most dominant team in College Football. They talk as if beating Oklahoma is just a foregone conclusion.

The reality is most serious fans with no ties to Homerism realize that the Irish have a snowballs chance in hell of winning this game. The Sooners debuted as a 10 point favorite, and that's an easy pick in my mind.

Bob Stoops has amassed a 77-3 home record, and the Sooners come in one of the hottest teams in the country. The Sooners come in 5th in scoring and 12th in PA. That's right, the Sooner defense is no slouch either, and that does not make it easy for a 77th ranked offense.The Irish fans have to realize, if you want to compete with OU in Norman, you have to possess some type of offense.

We will see which offense can exploit these solid defenses. In my opinion that answer is very easy, and it's my Pick Of The Week.

Oklahoma -10

NCAA College Football Picks Oct.20th 2012

 South Carolina @ Florida

This is going to be a great week to be a handicapper. We have tons of games picked I know are money, and I fully expect this to be my best week this season.

I have already posted two games over on my YouTube Channel so make sure you subscribe and check us out every week for NCAA and NFL Picks.

My first pick this week here on Break From The Huddle is going to be in the SEC. South Carolina travels to Gainesville to face the Gators looking pretty banged up.

I expect The Swamp to be rocking and the Gators to control the Time Of Possession. The Gators will be aggressive on defense greeting Connor Shaw in the backfield all day.

This should be a great game, but in the end I like the Gators swallowing three points. South Carolina is a solid team but have some key elements not there at the moment.

Florida -3


Alabama @ Tennessee


I'm going to stay in the SEC with my bonus pick this week here on Break From The Huddle. Knoxville, Tennessee will be rocking on Saturday as the Vols welcome the #1 team in the country, Alabama.

This is a game that is going to shock some people, and I expect the Vols to give Bama all they can handle.

The spread has Alabama a 20 point favorite a week before playing unbeaten Miss.St, and two weeks before playing LSU. This makes it a very dangerous week for the Tide.

The Vols have nothing to lose, and a Head Coach who is on the hot seat. I look for the Vols to stretch the field early attacking that Bama secondary. I think the Tide will pull it out, but not by 20 points.

Tennessee +20

NCAA College Football Pick: 10/18/2012

I am back on this Thursday night October 18th with a Free Pick for a good night of Football. I love Arizona State +10.5 in this game. The Sun Devils have the home field and have a record of 5-0-1 ATS this season. The Ducks on the other hand are actually 2-4 ATS and this is by far the toughest game they have played this season. This is a great play to start the week.

Arizona State +10.5

NCAA College Football BCS Top 5 Breakdown

Well the new BCS Poll is out, and they got this on the money. Its no surprise that Alabama sits at #1. The Tide have absolutely destroyed the competition thus far, and whether at home or on the road its been Roll Tide all year. The BCS put Florida #2 which shocked many people, but this is the correct call. The Gators have quality wins over LSU, Tennessee, and Texas A&M. The wins against Texas A&M and Tennessee were both on the road. The Gators play South Carolina this week and it should be awesome. Oregon being ranked #3 is also a correct call made by the BCS. The Ducks have looked dominate, but not really playing the toughest schedule as of yet. They still have to face Arizona State, USC, Stanford, and Oregon State, so we will see how good they are in the second half of the season. Kansas State is sitting pretty at #4 and are very deserving of that spot. The Wildcats hold a huge victory over Oklahoma who might be playing as well as any team in the country. The Wildcats have a tough task against West Virginia, who's defense finally proved to be the downfall against Texas Tech. Notre Dame sits at #5 holding quality wins over Michigan, Michigan State, and Stanford. The Irish are as solid as any on the defensive side of the ball, but the offense is a big concern. The Irish average 27 points per game, but have not scored more than 20 against quality teams. The Irish play Oklahoma in a couple weeks, and if the Irish can't score some points in that game, it will get very ugly. This rounds out my take on the first week of BCS Top Five Rankings. I will be back a few times this week including my Free Handicapping Picks for this weekend.

Free Picks Of The Week: College Football

 Navy @ Central Michigan

I have been away for awhile, but I am back, and will be on regularly from here out. We still have a ton of Football, and the NBA season is on the horizon. I look for the Heat and Lakers in the Finals by the way. I will get into that next week, but for now I am going to give away some FREE BONUS PICKS since I have been away. I am going to start tonight I see Central Michigan facing a Navy team that is not very good. Both teams have records of 2-3 but Central Michigan is a better team. The line is low enough so I would swallow the points in this case.

Central Michigan -1.5


Texas @ Oklahoma

I am going to give away two Saturday Picks this week, and I am going to start with Texas visiting Oklahoma. The Red River Shootout is always a big game, and expect this to be no different. The Longhorns come off a disappointing loss to West Virginia last week, while the Sooners blasted Texas Tech. I swallowed the 6 points in that game, and I am going to take the 3.5 this week also. I think the Sooners know they are still the favorite to win the Big 12, and they will play like it the rest of the season.

Oklahoma -3.5   



Florida @ Vanderbilt

I guess swallowing the points will be the trend for me in these Free Picks. I love Florida against Vandy this week in Nashville. The Gators will have no let down following their big win against LSU, and they will not look ahead to South Carolina next week. I truly believe this team is focused and seem to get better every week. I expect to see Florida take this by at least 3 touchdowns.

Florida -8.5

Pick Of The Week Michigan vs Notre Dame 9/22/12

This game is always fun and close. Michigan has won the last 3 meetings by four points per game. Denard Robinson absolutely kills Notre Dame posting 948 total yards in the last two meetings. I expect this one to be no different, and I expect Michigan to come out on top. This game is exactly what the Wolverines need to make people forget about the Alabama game. I wish I could forget about the Alabama game from last week. WPS! You can of course get my pick on the Rutgers vs Arkansas game by subscribing to my College Football pick package. The package is only $4.99 for the entire season. The cheapest package you will find anywhere in the game. This game you can probably get what I'm saying. Take Michigan and the points, then sit back and count your winnings.

My Projection (Michigan +6)

Pick Of The Week: Florida vs. Tennessee 9/15/12

Well I was able to recover from my disappointing week one .500 record by going 8-2 in picks last week. I went 2-0 in free picks here on this blog with Cincy over Pitt in college, and Chicago over Indy in NFL. This week my free Pick Of The Week puts Tennessee swallowing the points against SEC East rival Florida. The Vols come in with a very high octane passing attack that loves to spread the ball around in the air. I look for matchup issues with the Gators secondary against these Vols receivers, and expect it to be the deciding factor. The Gators are only undefeated thanks to two strong fourth quarter performances. The Gators defense is not bad, but have proven to be exploitable in the first two weeks. I love the Vols by 10 against the Gators at home.

My Pick- ( Tennessee -3 )

Pick Of The Week: Pittsburgh vs Cincinnati 9/6/12

The Bearcats are coming off another very impressive season in 2011. The Panthers will be an improved team in 2012, but I don't expect an upset in Cincy. Cincy escaped with a 3 point victory last year in Pittsburgh resulting in a push. I look for Jameel Poteat to have a breakout season, and the Bearcats to be a legitimate contender in the Big East. I like the Bearcats by double digits. My apologies for not getting to the Dallas vs Giants game as I have been a little under the weather. I can't wait for this weekend and some redemption.

My Projection- (Cincy-3.5)

Rough First Week!

Well the first week of College Football is over, and I had a really tough first week. I went 0-3 in free picks, and 5-5 in packaged picks. This gave me a total record of 5-5, barely getting to five hundred. My losing picks included South Carolina, Oklahoma, Michigan State, Michigan, and Rice. My winning picks were BYU, West Virginia, Tennessee, Tennessee over, and Buffalo. I am never happy being middle of the pack, so I can't wait for next week. I will be back with my pick for the NFL opener Wednesday. I will also have my AFC Preview for 2012 starting tomorrow.

Pick Of The Week: Oklahoma vs UTEP 9/1/12

This game is a mismatch waiting to happen. Oklahoma is loaded and Landry Jones will be in mid-season form when they play UTEP Saturday night. Jones will often look to target Kenny Stills at wideout, while enjoying great protection from a very good offensive line. The Miners QB Nick Lamaison will probably spend most of the night under pressure. The Miners will need to generate a pass rush against Landry Jones or be in for a long night. I expect the Sooners to just absolutely dominate on the road in this one.

My Projection- (Oklahoma -32)

Pick Of The Week: South Carolina vs. Vanderbilt 8/30/12

NCAA Football is here and kicks off with a big SEC game tonight. Jordan Rodgers and Zac Stacy will attempt to upend Spurrier's Gamecocks in Nashville. I look for this to be a pretty good game, especially through the first half. South Carolina has a defense that loves to fly around, and an offense that actually loves to run the ball. Vanderbilt will need big production from Stacy, and mistake free football from Rodgers. The Vanderbilt defense will also have a tough night attempting to stop Marcus Lattimore. Spurrier has coached season opening Thursday night games 5 times. He is undefeated in those outings. I look for this South Carolina offense to wear down the Commodores, and put it away in the forth quarter.

My Projection- ( South Carolina -6 1/2 )

Bonus picks this week only!!!
Thursday-Sunday right here!!!

NCAA Football-SEC East Preview For 2012

This is my second NCAA Football Preview of 2012, and today I am going to cover the SEC East. The East does not get near the press of the West due to the fact the West has three Top 5 teams. The East is starting to make a comeback however, and you can expect Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Florida to have very solid squads in 2012. The Bulldogs look to be the cream of the crop in the East with the Gamecocks right behind them. I think the East will be a very competitive division with a couple of possible surprises. The Gators look great on defense, but they have some issues at QB. The East also welcomes a new team in the Missouri Tigers fresh out of the Big 12. I expect the Tigers to see better results that A&M in the West, but they will still struggle. I will be back tomorrow with my NCAA Top 25 Poll Reveal. I have included the following team previews in my predicted order of finish.

1. Georgia Bulldogs - The Georgia Bulldogs return the #3 ranked defense a year ago minus only two starters. Jarvis Jones has emerged as one of the top linebackers in the country, and I expect him to terrorize offenses all season long. The offensive side of the ball is also pretty solid for the Dawgs. Quarterback Aaron Murray has improved more and more through experience, and he will see all of last years targets return at WR. I predict Georgia will only lose at South Carolina, but they will still finish ahead of the Gamecocks.
2012 Projection -(11-1)

 2. Florida Gators- Mentioned in the Intro, the Florida Gators come into 2012 with a tremendous defense. The Gators return ten starters on defense and have tons of speed. The questions come in at QB with Jacoby Brissett and Jeff Driskel fighting for the job. Traditionally teams having this issue struggle, and I see the Gators being no different. Driskel did recently suffer an injury so we shall see how it plays out. I expect to see the Gators go down against Georgia, Tennessee, and Florida State.
2012 Projection- (9-3)

3. South Carolina Gamecocks- The Gamecocks certainly have a new look for a Steve Spurrier coached team. The days of that old Florida offense are gone, and the Gamecocks play hard nosed football. Marcus Lattimore will return from a knee injury a season ago, and USC coaches say he is on track to return just fine. He will take handoffs from Connor Shaw who is also a serious ground threat. Shaw also throws the ball well, and you can look for Ace Sanders to emerge as his favorite target. Oh yea, and the defense is pretty damn good as well. I see the Cocks going limp against LSU, Florida, and at home against Arkansas.
2012 Projection- (9-3)

4. Tennessee Volunteers- The Vols return eight starters on defense, and nine on offense. The Vols of kinda lacking in pass rush, but the defensive backfield is pretty solid. The offense looks good returning QB Tyler Bray and a couple of really good wideouts in Da'Rick Rogers and Justin Hunter. Rogers has proven to be a bit of an issue off the field, but if all stays well in Tennessee the Vols could be a surprise. I see the Vols dropping four straight against Georgia, Mississippi State, Alabama, and South Carolina.
2012 Projection- (8-4)

5. Missouri Tigers- The Tigers have serious issues when it comes to proven skill position players. James Franklin is a very good young QB, but who will be there to help him out. They lost serious production at both WR and TE, plus uncertainty lingers in the backfield as well. The defense is decent but will struggle against SEC offenses. I see the Tigers losing to Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Florida, Tennessee, and  former Big 12 Opponent Texas A&M.
2012 Projection- (6-6)

6. Vanderbilt Commodores-  RB Zac Stacy is a stud, and they have Aaron Rodgers little brother throwing the ball. They don't have a lot going at skill positions so they will probably run a ton. You just can't be one dimensional in the SEC. With the exception of the secondary, the defense looks pretty weak. I see the Commodores losing against South Carolina, Georgia, Missouri, Florida, Auburn, Tennessee, Ole Miss, and Wake Forrest.
2012 Projection- (4-8)

7. Kentucky Wildcats- I am just going to keep this real short! Kentucky is lucky they have Basketball! The Wildcats may be heading in the right direction, but now is not the time. I expect losses to Louisville, Florida, South Carolina, Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi State, Georgia, Tennessee, and Vanderbilt.
2012 Projection- (3-9)

Back Tomorrow With My NCAA Top 25 Preseason Poll

NCAA Football-SEC West Preview For 2012

This is the first NCAA Football preview of 2012, and today I will cover the SEC West. The West was a very competitive division last season as we saw three teams in the Top 5 simultaneously. This season won't be much different, but the dismissal of Tyrann Mathieu from LSU will make a big difference for the Tigers. The Honey Badgers departure will likely boost redshirt freshman Jalen Collins into a starting position. How bad will the Tigers suffer from the secondary losses. Arkansas also lost quite a bit of talent, especially at the Wide Receiver position, but they are still loaded with preseason award finalist. Then of course have Alabama, the defending National Champion. The Tide lost Trent Richardson, and seven starters on defense to the NFL. This means that these 3 teams will once again be in a fight for this very competitive SEC West. I will be back tomorrow with my preview of the SEC East. I have included the following team previews in my predicted order of finish.

1. Alabama Crimson Tide- I mentioned earlier that the Tide lost a ton of talent this offseason, especially on defense. The defensive unit will see several young players launched into starting roles, but as we know with Alabama Football, defense runs in its blood. The defense will still be solid! The Tide must also deal with the loss of Heisman Finalist Trent Richardson who is now playing for the Cleveland Browns. You can look for Eddie Lacy, and young T.J. Yeldon to occupy the backfield this season. The Tide also bring one of the best offensive lines in the country to the table. McCarron will need this line because he does not have have star receivers littering the field. The position is decent however, and I am sure that someone will emerge this season. I have the Tide finishing as the top team in the SEC West. They will go undefeated in conference play, but they will lose in Dallas against Michigan.
2012 Projection- (11-1)

2. Arkansas Razorbacks- Most people will wonder why LSU is not in this position, and I will tell you in just a minute, but for now the Arkansas Razorbacks. The Hogs return the best Quarterback in the SEC with Tyler Wilson, and possibly the best RB in Knile Davis. Davis will return after suffering a bad injury before last season and hoping to regain his elite status from 2 seasons ago. The receiving core is somewhat depleted, but still features Cobi Hamilton and TE Chris Gragg. The Arkansas defense was young last season and I expect a ton of improvement. The loss of Jake Bequette will hurt the pass rush, but I think they will have enough offense to overcome. I believe that Alabama will be the only loss.
2012 Projection- (11-1)

3. LSU Tigers- This was my number 2 team until the dismissal of Tyrann Mathieu last week. The Tigers will have to replace both Mathieu and Mo Claiborne who now plays for the Cowboys. I believe this will be just a big enough weak spot for the Tigers to drop 3 games this season. The Tigers still have the best front four in the country on defense, but that won't be enough to stop top passing attacks like Arkansas has. The Tigers will also be decent on Offense, but decent just does not cut it in the SEC. They have a soft out of conference schedule but they will suffer in SEC play. The Tigers will start off on fire before traveling to Gainesville, Florida. I expect losses to Florida, Alabama, and Arkansas.
2012 Projection- (9-3)

4. Auburn Tigers- The Tigers return a pretty nice defense, but some serious uncertainty on offense. The Tigers boast a god running game, but the uncertainty comes in the passing game. The Tigers main concern will be at QB as the Tigers still have not decided on a starter. South Carolina, Alabama, Arkansas, LSU, and Georgia will topple Auburn in 2012.
2012 Projection (7-5)

5. Mississippi State Bulldogs- The Bulldogs have a very weak non-conference schedule which will account for 4 victories. They lost Ballard in the backfield now playing for the Colts in the NFL, and look for La Darius Perkins take over at that spot. They do boast a nice receiving core if a Quarterback can get them the ball. The defense is pretty decent but they need elevation on the defensive line. Special Teams will also be a big question mark. The Bulldogs will fall against Auburn, Alabama, Arkansas, LSU, and a road loss at Kentucky.
2012 Projection- (7-5)

6. Texas A&M Aggies- The Aggies will join a very tough SEC West which is a much stronger conference than the Big 12. The Aggies lose a big playmaker in Ryan Tannehill who now plays QB for the Miami Dolphins. The Aggies will also be making a transition in defensive schemes adjusting to a new 4-3 defense. Sophomore QB Jameill Showers will probably be the man in Aggieland, and he will be in for a tough year. I expect losses to Florida, Arkansas, LSU, Auburn, Alabama, and Mississippi State.
2012 Projection (6-6)

7. Ole Miss Rebels- The Rebels have a a new Coach, QB, and a lot of young talent, but they are only on the rise. This will be a tough year for new QB Bo Wallace and the rest of the Rebels. They lack depth at WR and in the backfield. The defense is also very questionable and will likely give up a ton of points. The Rebels will dwell at the bottom following losses to Texas, Alabama, Texas A&M, Auburn, Arkansas, Georgia, LSU, and rival Mississippi State.
2012 Projection (4-8)

Back Tomorrow With The SEC East!
