How the mighty have fallen. Mourning may become Electra, but humility does not look too good on the infallible. Thus, at the risk of angering the gods further (they flayed us last week), for entertainment purposes only we’ll venture 500 rosy-fingered dawns each on these Olympian contests.
Spread:
Iowa State +9 over Texas (the Cyclones beat the Longhorns outright in Austin last year)
Navy -3 ½ over Air Force (the cruise missiles from the Midshipmen take out Falcon stealth bombers in battle of triple option teams)
Boise State -27 ½ over Nevada (Broncos trample Wolf Pack in payback for last year’s upset)
Stanford -21 ½ over UCLA (Uclans will need more than smarts to conquer Luck and the Trees at Palo Alto)
Over/Under:
Ball State vs. Oklahoma over 61 (Sooners will romp at home, but Cardinals will score at least three touchdowns. This is a lock. 1,000 reeboks on this one)
All hubris aside, we tumbled from plus 640 Prometheans to minus 10 Augean stables on the college football season, going 2 and 3. Our oracle assures us we’re up to the Herculean task of cleaning up.
