STANDINGS/NFL PICKS

It was a winning day for both LPL and MTN yesterday as each gamer seems to have righted the ship in their challenge contest. The up to date standings reflect a close race with MTN still holding onto a slight 1/2 game lead.

Mr. Thursday Night: 11-13-1
Led Pipe Larry: 11-14-0

POWER RANKINGS

A major shake-up in the power rankings this Monday after #1 goes down for the 3rd straight weekend. TCU, Michigan State and Missouri are all frauds and 2 of the 3 will lose this weekend. Also look for Oregon to be on upset alert at USC this weekend. I refuse to believe Auburn is the 3rd best team in the country however at this point, their resume is impressive. Iowa remains in the top ten despite having two losses however the Hawkeyes will rebound on Saturday with a victory over Michigan State. Wisconsin will finish the season 11-1 and likely face Oregon in an interesting Rose Bowl matchup.

1. Alabama
2. Oregon
3. Auburn
4. Wisconsin
5. Ohio State

7. Boise State

Like a picture of Brett Favre's wanger, the LPL vs MTN challenge has officially turned grotesque. Both gamers had disappointing weekends.

MR. THURSDAY NIGHT

The LPL vs MTN challenge enters week 4 with Mr. Thursday Night holding a slight edge. October 23rd has the potential to be one of the finest days in the life of Mr. Thursday Night as the day will feature a round of golf, a 5-0 gaming record, an Iowa beatdown of Wisconsin and the Deftones concert. The favorites will dominate this fall Saturday as the cream begins to rise to the top.

MR. THURSDAY NIGHT

Well fellow degenerates it's once again Thursday already which means Mr. Thursday Night is ready to put a cap in yo ass with another sure fire winner. This week sees the UCLA Bruins traveling to Eugene to take on the newly crowned #1 Oregon Ducks. This line opened around 21.5 and has rose all the way up to 25 as of press time. The past three games between the teams at Autzen have been decided by 10 points or less. In 2007, the Bruins registered a 16-0 shutout in the first game after QB Dennis Dixon suffered a torn ACL against Arizona. Then, backup QB Brady Leaf was knocked out of the UCLA game. The Ducks had risen to No. 2 in the BCS Standings prior to the Arizona loss. Rain is also in the forecast for the ballgame so we are going to go ahead and take the points.

MR. THURSDAY NIGHT

It's been almost a month since Mr. Thursday Night has tasted defeat on a Thursday and the train will continue to roll tonight as Nebraska heads to Manhattan, Kansas to take on K-State. Sadly, this might be the best game in the Big 12 North all season. The Wildcat run defense is below average and this figures to be a huge area of concern for Bill Snyder tonight as the Huskers run game is coming off a 383 showing at Washington. In addition, Taylor Martinez is just a better QB than Carson Coffman at this point. K-state is improved but Nebraska is a national title contender.

NEBRASKA -11.5 AT KANSAS STATE

LPL VS MTN CHALLENGE

The stakes have been raised here at Hot Chicks & Picks as Led Pipe Larry has made the rookie mistake of challenging Mr. Thursday Night to a dual. The last handicapper to walk down this road has not been heard from since and allegedly is channeling his inner D-12 by reappearing as Lee Corso. Starting this week, both gamers will select 5college games per weekend. These 5 selections will be games that they are actually playing. The handicapper with the best record at the end of the regular season will be awarded either a box of 1989 Fleer Baseball cards, a Jaromir Jagr starting lineup or a Ben Rotheilsberger FATHEAD. Here is Led Pipe Larry's entry for week. Mr. Thursday Night will follow tomorrow.

Virginia Tech -3.5
Virginia +7
Army +6
Michigan -10
Michigan State +2


Bonus picks (not part of the challenge):

Stanford +7
