Wow! Last week was a horror show for TheBostonInsider's picks and I wish I could blame Halloween but that would not be fair to the stream of youngsters that wore poor imitations of Captain America and Dorothy Gale to my doorstep looking for free candy.
Like Herman Cain, I take responsibility for a week that saw me go 0-5 with the college picks and 4-9 with the pro's and I pledge to improve this week and help you make some money.
All picks against the spread (sticking with the Bible) and home team in capitals.
NCAA
ALABAMA (-4.5) over Louisiana State
"Game of the Century" will be a defensive battle won by the home team on a late defensive touchdown.

We're still waiting for the Jets to perform on the road.

Jim Harbaugh's squad keeps it going.
