Pick 'Em Corner - The Professor's Week 2 Smart Money Picks
The Professor's Smart Money Picks admittedly struggled in week 1. Bettors deserve better and The Professor is going to prove just how savvy of a handicapper he is by spotting his fellow panelists a subpar week 1 before storming back to repeat as Pick 'Em Corner's champion.
I present to you The Professor's Smart Money Picks:
Favorite Spread Underdog (Home teams in ALL CAPS, The Professor's pick in bold)
MINNESOTA -2 Wisconsin
If you know anything about The Professor, you know that he can't ever (EVER!) pick the Badgers, no matter the matchup or the spread. This is going to be a wild one at TCF Bank Stadium, but I see the Gophers pulling away late after Bucky is exposed for the fraud that he is.
MICHIGAN STATE -2.5 Michigan
You hear that sound? Eeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrr-plunk! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrr-plunk! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrr-plunk! It's the MasterLock Triple Strong Lock of the Week! Sparty's back is up against the wall and no coach can rally his troops better than Mark Dantonio. This week for MSU, it's the age-old "us against the world" routine, but it tends to work. Plus, with the decline of family values in Ann Arbor, it really is hard to pick in favor of the Wolverines.
PURDUE -7.5 Northwestern
The Professor is liking the chalk this week as you'll see and this game is no different. Purdue is really not as bad as their record and is only 12 points from being a 4-0 football team. Throw on top of that the tailspin that the loser of the Minnesota-Northwestern game usually goes in and you've got the Purdue Pete winning by 10 or more.
Alabama -16.5 KENTUCKY
It pains me to do it, but ROLL..............TIDE..................TURKEY!!!!!!!!!
Penn State -7 ILLINOIS
Never, ever rely on a Ron Zook-coached team to cover the spread.
GEORGIA -3 lsu
GEORGIA -3 lsu
I've got nothing here.
NOTRE DAME -13.5 washington
It kills me to pick the Irish here as I really can't stand Notre Dame, but I trusted Washington last week and they screwed me, so I'm going with Charlie Weis' gut here.
NAVY -3.5 air force
Anchors Aweigh, my boys, Anchors Aweigh.
Farewell to foreign shores, We sail at break of day, of day.
Through our last night on shore, Drink to the foam,
Until we meet once more. Here's wishing you a happy voyage home!

Ohio State -17 INDIANA
If Ben Chappell throws the ball half as well as his coach Bill Lynch throws gum, the Hoosiers will stay within two touchdowns.

TEXAS A&M -1 Arkansas
Only because I yelled out Wooooo Pig Sooey last week and got beat by Roll Tide Turkey.
TENNESSEE -2 Auburn
Oklahoma -7 MIAMI (FL)
This one's for Teeks.
usc -5 CALIFORNIA
Cal is a fraud and USC is motivated to further prove it.
IOWA -21 arkansas state
Doing the Chief Illiniwek dance for this one. Don't ask.
OREGON -32 washington state
I'm only picking the Ducks to try to close the gap with my fellow panelists.
Thus concludes The Professor's Smart Money Picks.
