The Markets are Down but Big Dick Is Up!

Editors Note--Its been a rough week in the markets and its still not over but you know where it isn't rough? With our good pal, Big Dick of Big Dick's Picks! He produced a 3 win 2 loss 1 tie week in his gridiron gifts to the public last weekend and he's amped up and ready to go again. Take it away Big D!!--RB

Well Richie as you said it has been a topsy-turvy (and mostly turvy) week out there. But we've kept our focus at Big Dick's Picks and have some fabulous football follies for you again. Let's cut to the chase.

The MINNESOTA GOLDEN GOPHERS are having a nice season. Illinois put a whuppin on Michigan last week which is causing some spread inflation. MINNY not bad on the road either. We'll take the juicy 12 points too! VANDERBILT also playing well. Undefeated. Have a tough game at Miss. St. But they will win and cover the 2.5. Lastly in the college, UCLA has been erratic but they can hang with this weaker version of Oregon. Oh and we get 18 points for our troubles. Thats a lotta wheat.

On Sunday, in the NFL, we like CAROLINA getting a sneaky 1 point at Tampa. The JAGUARS are getting healthy and the Broncos are not. The 3.5 looks like a generous amount of points that we will gladly take. The weather in SEATTLE should be ok. GREEN BAY likes to go OVER on the road. SEATTLE likes to go OVER at home. Smells like a nice OVER.

So: Saturday: MIN+12@ Ill, VANDY-2.5 @ Miss. St, UCLA+18 @ Oregon. Sunday: CAR+1 @ TB, JAX+3.5 @ Den, OV SEA/GB 46.5. Be careful out there! Good luck and god bless.
