Sorry Colin!!!

As of yesterday it is official! Colin Cowherd is just a regular guy when it comes to picking football games. Yesterday his big pick of the year, Alabama upsetting a highly favored LSU team, did not come true. It almost happened! Any one of the events of that game could have gone another way or not have happened at all and the outcome would have been different. And whether it be coincidence or not he did pick an exciting game to be captivated by. But as it stands now Colin is an average 2-2 in his preseason picks of the year. I will give credit where credit is due though, I love listening to Colin and his insight. He is able to due the research and give me insight into the game that I would not think of nor have the time to research. Also I must ad that he still has 2 more pick of games that have not been played yet! More or those games later. Still going 50-50 is not so bad when picking blindly at the beginning of the year. Yes I will be listening to

The "BIG" Pick

O.K. folks this is the week of the big pick according to Colin Cowherd of ESPN Radio. As you may know, before the season started he picked 6 games that he said would be winners. Mind you he did this before the season even started. So far he has a 2-1 record. Last year he did the same thing and went 5-1 on his picks. So it now stands to reason that he should be perfect the rest of the year. With that being said it is also appropriate to note that this weekend is his big play of the year! "Play" in gamblers terms being the game to bet on. Not only bet on it but make it a big play! That means bet more than you would usually bet on a game if you are compelled to do things like that. LSU is at present a 7 1/2 point favorite in the game againt the Crimson Tide of Alabama. But if Colin is right on this I would suggest betting the money line, taking Alabama, which will probably be around +200. That means that is you bet $100 an Alabama you can win $200. Of course, and for those who don't know, betting the money line means that no point spreads are involved! The Tide would have to win outright, straight up...... SO good luck to all those who ventured into doing things like wagering on football or just picking games in the office pool. Should be fun to watch.
