By the way, the fourth-annual Walter/Joker Annual Challenge is on, as I'll be competing with the Joker's College Picks. We each pick five games and see who does the best each week.

Arkansas at LSU
Line: LSU by 12.
Friday, 2:30 p.m.

As a disclaimer, don't go nuts with my college football picks. I'm much better at picking NFL games (though not this year); I'm just doing these upon request. Follow @walterfootball for updates.

Let's get right to the big game. This is it for LSU. If the Tigers win this, they go to the SEC Championship, and if they win that, they get the chance to play for the co-national championship (assuming Houston keeps on winning). If the Tigers fall, however, their season is over. That's a lot of pressure on a group of 18- to 22-year-olds. Arkansas is playing with house money here.

College Football Pick: Arkansas +12 (3 Units) -- Incorrect; -$330

---

Colorado at Utah
Line: Utah by 22.
Friday, 3:30 p.m.

I don't see how this game is going to be close. To quote Franchize, "Colorado is f***ing trash."

College Football Pick: Utah -22 (2 Units) -- Incorrect; -$220

---

Duke at North Carolina
Line: North Carolina by 12.5.
Saturday, 3:30 p.m.

This is a pretty big rivalry, so I expect Duke to keep it close against a North Carolina team that might not be interested.

College Football Pick: Duke +12.5 (1 Unit) -- Incorrect; -$110

---

Illinois at Minnesota
Line: Illinois by 10.5.
Saturday, 3:30 p.m.

I know Minnesota sucks, but Illinois has dropped five in a row. They don't deserve to be double-digit road favorites.

College Football Pick: Minnesota +10.5 (1 Unit) -- Correct; +$100

---

Ole Miss at Mississippi State
Line: Mississippi State by 17.
Saturday, 7:00 p.m.

Mississippi State is coming off a tough loss, and I doubt they'll be up for battling their lesser in-state rival.

College Football Pick: Ole Miss +17 (2 Units) -- Incorrect; -$220

I think it's because, by way of site sponsorship, I was mentally PROGRAMMED to eat too many SNICKERS BARS... Pretty soon I'm sure I'll come down off my sugar high...

'Old Pick ~ New Pick' 11-23-2013 11:41 am xxx.xxx.xxx.150 (total posts: 25) 0     9 @all Anyway ~ The bottom line is this... AS I POSTED BELOW [with links]... Walter has flip flopped 3x now with Fresno State... First ~ They're gods coming off a BYE [whereby they fail to cover] Then ~ They're overrated & suck at covering spreads Now ~ They're gods coming off a BYE again [whereby last time, with this dynamic, they lost WALTER 2 units] It's 'TROLLING' to point that out? & furthermore ~ Everyone who is 'annoyed' by my comments vehemently states that they're "only here to make money" [yet 'accepts' the premise of 'pin the tail on the donkey' handicapping narrative]?... ~~~ But per everyone's request ~ I'll go ahead & stop commenting here... My picks are THERE: http://fantasy-sports-nation.blogspot.com/ Win or lose... Hot streak or cold streak... I'll at least try to give you an opinion WHY... & take blame for my losses... [& maybe keep it lighthearted in the process]... By the way... this week I did an intensive writeup on the "CURIOUS CASE" of "LOOKING AHEAD" [prior to Thursday Games], could be considered a handicapping fallacy... Since all of you here are DIE HARD handicappers, I'm positive that it will be of ZERO INTEREST TO ANYONE... Bye everyone... & GLTY'all OPNP 'Old Pick ~ New Pick' 11-23-2013 11:15 am xxx.xxx.xxx.150 (total posts: 25) 1     1 @SteveB SteveB says: "OPNP please make a pick for once instead of writing these huge articles on this site for no reason." My friend ~ I have made picks... I made both a "pick" & a REASON WHY to take the FALCONS & to take NAVY earlier this week... The text for my NAVY pick [which I published HERE], is also on my blog [where I make all my picks]... http://fantasy-sports-nation.blogspot.com/ ~~~ Either you people have short memories, or my comments here disappear... I mentioned many times that I'm not trying to troll this site... You people FORCE me to [because you insist on simply dropping a pick ~ with zero background as to WHY because you all seem to hate a wall of text]... UFB 'Old Pick ~ New Pick" 11-23-2013 11:09 am xxx.xxx.xxx.150 (total posts: 25) 1     3 @Uncle Ben FWIW ~ I agree with you... Walt has done VERY well with his NCAA picks so far this year... His record, thus far, is better than mine... [but I hold an edge on NFL picks ~ especially when you consider that Walt includes his PRESEASON picks into the equation, which I don't bother to handicap]... Frankly ~ I'm not impressed with MY OWN aggregate record this year, but it is what it is... My COMMENTS have to do strictly with the lazy narrative [which I pointed out]... Anyone with two marbles in their head can conclude that its a 'flip flop' mentality... I've been coming to WFDC for 6 years now [so obviously ~ I appreciate the site]... I'm just 'irked' by the laziness... If I were a TROLL, then I'd have been trolling this site years ago... I've only dropped comments recently because the laziness has become so blatant... Of course, as you suggest... IT'S ALL MY FAULT...

We're all here to try and do the same thing. Win some money and outsmart Vegas. Which I've gota say I think most of us have done well. You truly are a loser pal. Just glad everyone else has finally realized that. So make a pick or be gone.

Well, that's magnified here, as Fresno State is a great team..." Walt says (10/19/13)" "I'm a fan of picking good teams coming off byes. Fresno State has had two weeks to prepare for UNLV. This game should be a blowout. College Football Pick: Fresno State -24.5 (2 Units) -- Incorrect; -$220" http://walterfootball.com/collegepicks2013_08.php Walt says (11/9/13): "As someone who has bet on Fresno State this year, I can tell you that the Bulldogs aren't that good. They're undefeated, but they've covered only two spreads this season." http://walterfootball.com/collegepicks2013_11.php SNICKERS SAYS: "Snickers is packed with peanuts!"
