NEW YEARS EVE

Coach K got on the board last night after a horrific effort out of Arizona. The bowl challenge now stands tied at 1. 5 games on the slate today:

COACH K:

OKLAHOMA -10 VS STANFORD
IOWA STATE +2 VS MINNESOTA
MISSOURI -6.5 VS NAVY
AIR FORCE +5 VS HOUSTON
VIRGINIA TECH -5.5 VS TENNESSEE

MTN:
STANFORD +10 VS OKLAHOMA
IOWA STATE +2 VS MINNESOTA
MISSOURI -6.5 VS NAVY
HOUSTON -5 VS AIR FORCE
VIRGINIA TECH -5.5 VS TENNESSEE

BOWL CHALLENGE CONTINUES

MTN and Coach K, aka the Mega Powers teamed up last night for two winners. Despite what Slapshot Fraud may tell you, UCLA dominated that football game and would hammer Temple 9 times out of 10. Two more games today, and we do have a disagreement between Coach K and MTN. Heading into today, MTN leads 1-0.

COACH K: IDAHO -1 AND NEBRASKA -3

MTN: IDAHO -1 AND ARIZONA +3

TUESDAYS BOWL GAMES

Both Coach K and MTN took one on the chin last night. Texas A&M dominated the first half but turnovers and special teams prevented them from winning the game. Two more games tonight, Coach K and MTN are in agreement on these so be sure to lock it down ASAP. The bowl contest still stands at 1-0, MTN.

UCLA -4 VS TEMPLE

WISCONSIN +4 VS MIAMI

MR. THURSDAY NIGHT: 1, COACK K: 0

And the beatdown begins. A late touchdown by CJ Spiller gives the Clemson Tigers the cover over Kentucky. Overall we went 2-0-1 yesterday and 4-0-1 on the weekend. Today's matchup features Georgia and Texas A & M. Both Coach K and MTN have taken:

TEXAS A&M +7 VS GEORGIA

BOWL CHALLENGE!

We have some exciting news to report this morning on HC&P. Coach K, no doubt embarassed by being dominated by Mr. Thursday Night all year, has issued a challenge. The two titans of the industry will pick against the spread the remaining bowl games. Whoever has the best record at the end wins a game used #8 Cedar Falls Sluggers, Skyler Boyer jersey. This one of a kind jersey was used during the "bat bag bowl" in Cedar Rapids, IA. Here are today's selections:

MR. THURSDAY NIGHT-CLEMSON -6.5
COACH K-KENTUCKY +6.5

WEST PREVIEW-LINGY DING DONG

There’s nothing like the Wild Wild West when it comes to NBA basketball. We all love the up and down style the west brings. The competitiveness. The star players. The stacked teams. Outside of Lebron and D Wade, there’s not much happening out East. But out west, outside of the Spurs and their boring basketball, there’s not much that’s NOT happening.

Kobe, Ron Ron, Bynum emerging as a star to lead the favorite Lakers. Dirk having a career year. Nash and Amare. Carmelo and Chauncey. Roy and LaMarcus. Kevin Durant. Deron and Boozer. And of course let’s not forget 2 of the best white big men, Birdman and Kaman.

Is this going to be another year where a team with a 50-32 record misses the playoffs? Is this going to be the year that the Clippers finally live up to the hype? To answer the first question, yes. the second….no.

Predictions:

1. Lakers – way too much talent plus they are the DEFENDING CHAMPS

2. Denver – Melo is putting up MVP type numbers and with Mr. Big Shot running the point, look for this team to make a run for the title

3. Dallas – with Dirk taking the summer off, he is going to make a run at the MVP trophy and lead his team to a potential title. When Howard returns healthy, look out for the Mavs

4. Portland – most talent top to bottom but do they have enough experience? My guess is no.

5. San Antonio – they’ll always be there but they don’t have the youth to last through 4 rounds of the playoffs

6. Utah – very talented team with 2 stars and depth, but they just don’t have enough to topple the big dogs in the west

7. Phoenix – hot start ends in cold finish and another early exit for the Suns

8. Oklahoma City – Durant is becoming one of the best in the league and will lead his team to the playoffs.


Lakers v OKC – a laugher for the Lakers in this sweep

Denver vs Phoenix – in one of the most exciting, high scoring series ever, the Birdman proves to be too much for Amare and the Nuggets take it 4-2

Dallas vs Utah – another exciting series with scoring everywhere. Young vs old with Kidd vs Williams. Dirk vs boozer. What more could you ask for? In the end, Dirk proves to be too much as the Mavs take it 4-3.

Portland vs San Antonio – Spurs run out of gas and Portland’s depth and youth is the difference.

2nd Round

Lakers vs Portland – Portland gives the Lakers a scare after taking game 1. Kobe realizes that he’s only got a couple more good years in him and kicks it into high gear to lead the Lakers to a 4-3 win.

Dallas vs. Denver – in one of the best playoff match ups in NBA history, Denver and Melo prove to be too much and Chauncey acts as Robert Horry and seals the deal late in game 7.


Finals

Lakers vs Denver – Lakers take the first 2 games and it appears there is too much size with Pao and Bynum. However, the Nuggets make some defensive changes and the Birdman proves to be the difference shutting down the Lakers inside presence. The Lakers still win a close one in Denver, and seem to be in control. However, Kobe once again returns to the resort where he got in trouble and does it again. He loses focus and this helps the Nuggets finally make the next step and win the series on the Lakers home floor in 7.

TURKEY DAY TRIFECTA

Today my friends I present you with 3 sure fire locks that will surely make your Thanksgiving enjoyable even if you're stuck with the in-laws and uncle Eddie. Unfortunately it doesn't sound as though Matthew Stafford aka John Elway 2.0 will play due to the injury he sustained at the end of the game last week. With Stafford out, I suggest you put a little Culpepper on your turkey to end up with some extra spending cash for shopping on Black Friday.

DETROIT LIONS +11.5 VS GREEN BAY FUDGE PACKERS

NBA PREVIEW

NBA PREVIEW…..KIND OF by: Lingie Dingie Ding Dong

First things first, I would like to apologize to you all for the tardiness of this post, I was busy with my precious little new born baby girl.

The last few years of the NBA has been no surprise. We all knew 2 years ago that a healthy Celtic team would take the cake and last year with Mamba, Gasol, Odom and the crew, that no one could touch the Lakers. And we were all right.

This year, I don’t think we’ll see much surprises anywhere either. Here’s a breakdown of what we will most likely see in the playoffs:

Starting out East:

1. Celtics

2. Cavs

3. Magic

4. Hawks

5. Heat

6. Chicago

7. Philly

8. Toronto


Celts vs Raps – this is a laugher and a sweep by the Celts. Too much talent. Nice run for Chris Bosh in Toronto though. See you in the states in 2010.

Heat vs Hawks – a repeat of last year’s first round match up ends the same way. Too much D Wade and the Hawks just can’t seem to get over the hump.

Magic vs Chicago – Chicago’s play last year vs the Celtics was a fluke. They are a solid team but lack a superstar. Magic win in 4.

Cavs vs Philly – Cavs squeak one out 3-2. Without Lebron, this might be the worst team in the league. Thankfully for the Cavs, Lebron can single handily beat Philly.

Celts vs. Heat – another laugher for the Celts. D Wade manages to win one game for the heat but Celts roll again 4-1.

Cavs vs Magic – in a highly anticipated match up of last year’s Eastern Conference finals, the Magic show that they are the superior team. Lebron does all he can to lead his team to victory, but Shaq proves to be the worst off-season pick up with his inability to defend the pick and roll. After the game, Delonte West goes postal on everyone but Lebron ending the Cavs franchise. Lebron ends up in New York, where the Knicks, even with the best player in the world, continue their losing ways.

Celts vs. magic – although the Celtics are old, they are also seasoned vets who can turn it on and off when need be. They did enough during the regular season to get the #1 seed and then rested. With the Big Ticket, Paul “I have the softest body of an athletic NBA player ever” Pierce, Jesus Shuttlesworth stroking the 3, Sheed adding even more experience and the underrated mastermind behind it all, Rajon Rondo, there is no one in the East who stand a chance against this squad. Rashard Lewis proves that he is one of the most overpaid athletes and Vinsanity’s old age comes out as he struggles all series long. Celts roll to the finals 4-1.

BLOCKBUSTER SATURDAY

WEEKEND WRAPUP

Drank a little bit too much last night therefore I was unable to get my NFL picks in on time which is probably a good thing. Of course the alcohol abuse last night was in celebration of yet another stunning Hawkeye victory. Early line for next week vs Indiana is -17.5. Heartbreaking loss on Thursday when North Carolina shit the bed in the 2nd half but a 2-1 Saturday brought us back to even.

MOTHER OF GOD

COACH K

The red hot Coach K has phoned in a free 3* selection:

OLE MISS -6 VS ARKANSAS

SATURDAY'S PICKS

MR THURSDAY NIGHT-10/17

Texas -2.5 vs Oklahoma

Minnesota +17 at Penn State

MR. THURSDAY NIGHT

A new winning streak continues tonight for the King of Thursdays. Decent Big East matchup takes place in Tampa this evening as Cincy travels to South Florida. While it would help our Hawks a bit if the Bearcats lose, I think they'll take care of business to win and cover during a competitive ballgame.

CINCY -2 AT USF

MR. MONDAY NIGHT

JETS -3 AT DOLPHINS

SATURDAY RECAP/SUNDAY PICKS

By Mr. Thursday Night

Well F me in the A, two narrow losses in the college game yesterday. We had the right side with Wisconsin however 3 fluke, non-offensive touchdowns by OSU and some horrible coaching by Fat Biliema cost us. Coach K allegedly had another good day but I am unable to confirm this, no documentation at press time. Another narrow win for the Hawkeyes moves them to 6-0. Early thoughts on the game have me seeing it as unlikely Iowa wins in Madison next week.

On to the pro game where I must tell you I am starting perhaps the worst team in fantasy football history today. Due to bye weeks, injuries and shitty drafting, my lineup includes: Kelly Washington, Patrick Crayton, Tashard Choice and Beanie Wells. Unless AP goes off for 450 yards and 5 touchdowns, I am in trouble.

PATRIOTS -3 AT BRONCOS

COLTS -3.5 AT TITANS

MR. THURSDAY NIGHT-10/10

Only two games jump out at us right now, might add more later.

E-MAIL I GOT FROM LINDGREN

Well, unfortunately, softball is over for me this year. We still have 3 weeks left, but I broke my ankle last night while breaking up a double-play at 2nd. They didn’t turn it, btw.

The SS got all pissy and was in my face when I was laying there. I came in a little high with my feet, but as far as I’m concerned, I own every part of 2nd base as the runner. He needs to get in the air or get to the side or he’s gonna get smacked, which he did. Unfortunately, my right foot jammed into the bag and broke my ankle. I did put a big ol’ strawberry on the SS’s thigh, so it all evens out.

Here are my final stats, or pretty close to what they were. I think I had more walks, but our manager doesn’t always keep the best book.

Batting Average: .767 (5 pts higher than last year)
RBI’s: 153
HR’s: 2
Doubles: 9
Triples: 1
Walks: 39

We also keep some less traditional stats that are important, but don’t usually show up in the box score.

GG: 14
These are Gold Gloves and signify a great (not good, great) play you made. I play catcher and got most of them for blocking the plate. It’s manager discretion and he’s pretty good about being fair. You can pretty much assume that I saved our team 14 runs with each GG.

FT+: 13
These are forced throws you made the fielder make by running aggressively that ended with something good happening like an overthrow or error.

SB: 29
We count stolen bases even though you can’t technically steal. These are extra bases you took due to hustle when the outfielder or whoever lolly-gags the ball in. The manager and guys on the bench immediately say SB when there’s one in question and there’s usually not a dispute. It feels pretty good to move up into scoring position late in the game while everyone is chanting SB-SB.

If people realized how many extra runs you can score in a game, more people would pay attention to base running. You have to pick your spots and can’t be stupid, but a lot of guys don’t have half the arms they think they do and you can abuse them.

Our team takes the year off until January when we’ll lift 3 days a week. I can’t wait until next year. I heard Miken is coming out with a new bat and I’ve already started saving

FRIDAY UPDATE

By Mr. Thursday Night

Well we finally got that Thursday Night monkey off our back. Nebraska exploded for 27 points in the 4th quarter to pull away from the fraud that is the Missouri Tigers. Coach K went 4-0 last night, also playing Nebraska and mastering the MLB playoffs. If you haven't already, I suggest you head over to coachkwins.com and check out Coach K's new site. He's red hot right now folks. FYI-Matt Holliday=Bill Buckner.

Looking ahead to this weekend, I've got a few plays in mind. At this point I do not plan on taking Iowa -8. While I like the Hawks to win this game and perhaps win it easily, I don't like them enough at -8 to bet on it. Colin Cowherd of ESPN Radio just proclaimed Iowa -8 the lock of the year. More to come tomorrow.

LOCKTOBERFEST CONTINUES

By Mr. Thursday Night

Decent matchup in the Big 12 tonight as Nebraska travels to Columbia to take on the Missouri Tigers. Looks like a 90% chance of heavy rain so that'll make for some great football viewing unless of course you'd rather watch your team, your town, your Phoenix Coyotes play in Buffalo as they attempt to go 3-0 on the young season. I think the rain gives a slight edge to the Cornhuskers as they like to run the ball a bit more than Mizzou. The line is currently Mizzou -2 but we are going to go ahead and take the Huskers as an outright winner and expose the Missouri Tigers as the fraud that they are.

NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS ML AT MISSOURI TIGERS

MLB PLAYOFF PREDICTIONS

Yanks over Twins in 3
Angels over Sox in 5
Phillies over Rockies in 5
Cardinals over Dodgers in 4

Yanks over Angels in 7
Cardinals over Phillies in 6

Yanks over Cards in 6

LOCKTOBER CONTINUES......

By Mr. Thursday Night

A winner on Monday Night caps an otherwise average weekend for Mr. Thursday Night. Although it wasn't posted on here, Coach K also hit last night to cap his incredible 3 day run. Coach K has been kind enough to continue to post some plays on HC&P however if you want his entire board head on over to www.sportsmoneymanagers.com.

Today we are blessed to have a one game playoff between the Twins and Tigers. Detroit sends young Rick Porcello to the hill against the Twins Scott Baker. I am projecting fat Miggy Cabrera shows up to the ballpark drunk and the Twins coast to the ALDS where they will be swept by the New York Yankees.

MINNESOTA TWINS -1.5 (+135) VS DETROIT TIGERS

MR. MONDAY NIGHT

6 POINT TEASER-GB +11 AND OVER 40

WEEKEND RECAP

Well this past week went just like the previous several have: lose Thursday, win big on Saturday, give some of it back on Sunday. Luckily, late Saturday Night, in a drunken daze, I stumbled into the online Blackjack room and took the house for all it was worth. The big winner this weekend was Coach K who went a documented 15-3. Still undecided on a play tonight. Should be a good football game though. Huge weekend coming up, keeping an eye on that Iowa/Michigan line. If it comes down to Iowa -6, the farm will be wagered on the Hawkeyes.

MR. THURSDAY NIGHT-10/4

A 2-1 day brings our Saturday total to 11-2 the past two weeks. 3 locks in the NFL today:

THURSDAY NIGHT RECAP

Well boyz, we took that one in the ole pooper. Colorado converts a 3rd and 25 on their final drive then completes a 25 yard prayer TD pass with 3 seconds left to go over the total of 55. We can not catch a break on Thursday Night but luckily for us degenerates there are 6 other days in the week. At this point however we are hemmoraging money on Thursday Nights and might be forced to do the previously unthinkable: sit next Thursday out. More to come on this developing situation.

COACH K

COACH K by: Lingie Dingie Ding Dong

Shane “Kingah” King, entrepreneur, all around good man
Good looking, athletic, and the bears #1 fan

Hot mom, Donnie football as a dad
Kingah had everything we all wish we had

Something happened though during Shane’s partying days
Something bad that involved football games and parlays

Out emerged the man we have come to know
Who thinks he can make everybody a ton of dough

Coach k, gambler, handicapper, mr. know it all
Also claims to be the best around in softball

While tailgaiting found the true love of his life
Bet on the Trojans she said, and I’ll be your wife

“Deal,” Coach K said with hug and a smile,
Realizing that he out-kicked his coverage by a mile

Settling in Denver, they’ve seem to have found a home
Until Coach K loses it all, and they have to live like a gnome.

MR THURSDAY NIGHT-10/1

The Lions losing streak ended last Sunday and Mr. Thursday Nights will end today. Despite a spectacular weekend record, we have been unable to get it going on Thursday. Tonights game is West Virginia -17, at home vs a putrid Colorado team. The problem is, West Virginia is not what they've been the past several years. Rather than picking a side, we're going ahead and taking the UNDER 55.

AP TOP 25

Iowa climbed back into both Top 25 polls this week, slotting the #13 spot in the Associated Press Poll and the #17 spot in the USAToday Coaches Poll.

This seems about right. From unranked to 17th or so in the coaches poll EXCEPT WAIT A FUCKING SECOND PENN STATE IS #13? ANNIE GET YOUR GUNGODAMNIT YOU’VE GOT TO BE FISTING ME WITH AN ANDRE THE GIANT DILDO.

So, let me get this straight: Iowa is 4-0. (that means they’ve lost no games! lol) They beat Penn State in the vaunted LOLOUT in Happy Valley Saturday. Penn State’s only loss is to Iowa. And yet, Iowa is ranked behind the team they just maimed?

At least the AP had more sense – Iowa is #13 and Penn State dropped all the way to 15th after the Hawkeye ass whooping. But, according to some of these voters, Penn State is still the better team:

Paul Arnett of the Honolulu Star-Bulletin has Iowa #22 in his poll and Penn State #10. Paul obviously has a pineapple shoved sideways up his ass, which is clouding his thinking. Go hula dance off a cliff and give back your AP vote, you tool.

Jay G. Tate of the Montgomery Advertiser has Iowa #22 as well. PSU? They’re #11 according to this loon. You better not be related to Drew Tate or you’re not invited back for Thanksgiving, motherfucker.

Sal Interdonato of the Time-Herald Record in Middleton, NY, has Iowa #20 and Penn State #12. Sal covers the Army football beat, a team that just got shit-stomped by ISU. And if you remember, ISU is the worst football team ever assembled. Sal, pull your head out of your Black Knight ass.

Desmond Conner of the The Hartford Courant has Iowa #20 as well. Penn State checks in at #10 in his poll. I know that the Desmond on College Gameday can’t read, and you’re obviously blind. You two should hang out and jack each other off.

Jeff Gravley of WRAL-TV in North Carolina has Iowa #18 and Penn State #12. WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM?

And lastly, thank God he doesn’t get an AP vote and has to make his own “Power Poll,” Dennis Dodd of CBS Sportsline has Iowa at #15 and Penn State at #11. Also, in his unveiling of this week’s poll, he writes a love letter to Tim Tebow and asks if he can be directly behind him in the weekly ESPN Elephant Walk.

SATURDAY RECAP/SUNDAY PICKS

By Mr. Thursday Night

Well folks, whan can we say. Another 3-0 Saturday boosts our Saturday record the past 3 weeks to 9-1. Combine that with a landmark victory for the Iowa Hawkeyes and Saturday, the 26th of September was a pretty damn nice day.

Going to take it easy again on the NFL with just a few plays.

NEW YORK GIANTS -6.5 AT TAMPA BAY BUCS

HOUSTON TEXANS -4 VS JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS

PITTSBURGH STEELERS -3.5 AT CINCY BENGALS

TODAY'S CARD

By Mr. Thursday Night

Va Tech to win +125
Wisconsin -2.5
Iowa plus 9.5

90% chance of rain in Happy Valley will ruin the whiteout. Seriously considered taking Iowa to win at +305 but have decided against it as of press time. Despite a terrible start on Thursdays we are 6-1 the past two Saturdays and only down 2 units on the year.

MR. THURSDAY NIGHT-9/24

All right boyzzzzzzz the steak ends here. Mr. Thursday Night is red hot and the last piece of unfinished business is correcting the slow start we've had on Thursday Night. When they name a day of the week after you, the streak can not continue much longer. The ole ball coach takes a beating at home tonight.

OLE MISS -4 AT SOUTH CAROLINA

IOWA/PSU NOTES

Other than Joe Paterno, who’s taken on a sort of quasi-mystical persona among Big Ten coaches on the order of Albus Dumbledore, Ferentz is dean of the conference headmasters.

This is his 11th year. Counting his first season of 1999 when he went 1-10 with Hayden Fry’s meager cupboard remains, Ferentz is 6-2 against Paterno.

But here’s what’s really striking: In those eight meetings, Ferentz’s teams have been favored in the Vegas line only twice — in 2001 (-9 in Iowa City) and 2003 (-10 in Iowa City). Iowa has covered six of the eight, excepting only 2001 (24-18 win) and 2007 (27-7 loss, +9 in State College).

Five of the games have been close — decided by a touchdown or less — and Iowa has won each of them. Because Penn State won the two blowouts (’99 and ’07), the average difference actually comes out in favor of PSU +1.5, which could not be more misleading.

As badly as Vegas has gauged the outcomes, the games themselves have been just as erratic and all over the map in style and pace. On back-to-back Iowa visits to The Beav, you had games that could not have had less in common.

In 2002, there was the wild Zack Mills-led, back-from-the-dead comeback from 22 points down with 10 minutes left to force overtime and eventually a 42-35 Iowa decision.

That was the game when the officiating so infuriated Paterno that he ran down crew chief Dick Honig to spew vitriol on the way through the tunnel. Easy to forget now, but that’s the game generally referenced as the catalyst for college football’s replay system.

Just two years later in 2004, you had the otherworldly 6-4 spectacle, perhaps the nadir of the Paterno Dark Ages, when Ferentz felt so certain of PSU’s offensive impotency that he took an intentional safety to make it a two-point game with four minutes left.

That, you don’t see every day. Not to a mention a football game with 4 in the score.

WEEKEND WRAP-UP

By Mr. Thursday Night

A 5-1 weekend was provided to you by Mr. Thursday Night, absolutely free of charge. I dare you to find anyone in the country operating at that high of a level. After a rough start it looks as though we are ready to go on a run of locks that has not been seen since Ronnie Harmon tanked the 86 Rose Bowl.

The only thing left to do is to get Mr. Thursday Night back on track on Thursdays. As long as Georgia Tech isn't playing we should be fine. In my opinion they should have just folded that misreable program after Calvin Johnson aka Megatron left. Stay tuned to this very website for more winners.

MR. MONDAY NIGHT

Mr. Thursday Night's evil twin makes his debut with tonight's Monday Night showdown between Miami and Indianapolis.

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS -3 VS MIAMI DOLPHINS

SATURDAY RECAP/NFL SUNDAY

By MR. Thursday Night-

Another strong Saturday (3-1) puts us at 6-1 in the college game the past two weekends. Only a late collapse by Northwestern prevented the 2nd straight undefeated Saturday.

Moving on to the NFL, there is only one game that catches my eye right now. I usually like to wait a few weeks before going big on the NFL because it does require a feeling out process. The games are heavily wagered so usually the numbers are spot on.

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS -1.5 AT PHILADELPHIA EAGLES

UCONN +8
Baylor

MR. THURSDAY NIGHT-9/17

Back to the ACC we go for another pillow fight between Miami and GT. The Canes looked impressive in their win over Florida State however since then we have learned FSU is once again a fraud. You can take this pick, lock it up and throw away the key.

GEORGIA TECH PLUS 5.5 AT MIAMI (FL)

NFL-MR. THURSDAY NIGHT-9/13

Coming off a 3-0 Saturday we hope to continue the momentum into week 1 of the National Football Leauge. Two plays in particular stick out for us today:

HOUSTON TEXAS MINUS 4.5 VS NEW YORK JETS

CINCINNATI BENGALS MINUS 5 VS DENVER BRONCOS

The Jets defense should be decent however the first start for rookie QB Mark Sanchez will be a rough one, I see Houston winning this one 24-14.

The Broncos have the potential to be the worst team in the NFL this season. Their defense will stink outloud and Kyle Orton is their starting QB. Enough said. 31-10 Bengals.

COACH K-9/12

* BYU -18
4* Duke -1
3* Tennessee -3.5 and So Miss -8 (7pt teaser)
3* Notre Dame -3

BIG TEN REDEMPTION SATURDAY

By Mr. Thursday Night

As we enter the 2nd weekend of college football, the national media is already all over the Big 10. I am here to tell you, starting today, things change. The Notre Dame love-fest is in full spring already as well however Michigan is at home and has a chip on their shoulder. Ohio State is a touchdown underdog at home against a freshman quarterback. Out-effin-rageous. Finally, in the grand daddy of them all, Iowa travels to Lames for the annual "god we should kill these clowns but never do bowl." While I don't expect a Hayden Fry era type beatdown, the Hawks will roll.

MICHIGAN PLUS 3 VS NOTRE DAME

OHIO STATE PLUS 7 VS USC

IOWA MINUS 6 VS IOWA STATE
