DFC VIII Week Ten Games

Apologies for getting this out late. I was... well, I was watching Raw, darn it.

College Games (all ranks from AP Poll, all times CST)

#21 Wake Forest Demon Deacons (6-2) at Virginia Cavaliers (7-2), 11a, ESPN Gameplan
The defending ACC Champs have very little shot at winning it again, unless they can keep winning, and hope that Boston College drops several games in a row. And I was totally ready to buy into the Cavs, forgetting that early loss to Wyoming... and then they went and lost to NC State.

Purdue Boilermakers (7-2) at Penn State Nikki Lions (6-3), 11am, ESPN
Ah, there's nothing like a pillow fight between two underacheiving Big Ten schools who aren't as good as Ohio State or Michigan

#3 LSU Tigers at #17 Alabama Crimson Tide, 4pm, CBS
Saban at home. Against his old team. Love it.

#6 Arizona State at #4 Oregon Ducks, 545pm, ESPN Gameplan
This should be a great game, though my guess is, if you're looking to go against the grain this week to pick up a game, go with A-State. This will be a heavily favored Oregon pick.

The NFL Games

Jacksonville Jaguars (5-2) at New Orleans Saints (3-5), 12pm CBS
Look out... the Saints might have finally got the ship upright, and they might be surging...

New England Patriots (174-0) at Indianapolis Colts (172-0), 315pm CBS
ESPN's Kenny Mayne said it best: "Coming up next on SportsCenter, we do our best to overhype the upcoming Pats/Colts game!" (which, I'll be upset if I'm subjected to Houston vs Oakland, due to "regional" action)

Dallas Cowboys (6-1) at Philadelphia Eagles (3-4), 715pm, NBC
Before you go Cowboy crazy, remember, they have to go to Philly, where the fans boo everyone, and they got completely shellacked by the Pats.

Baltimore Ravens (4-3) at Pittsburgh Steelers (5-2), 730pm, ESPN (Monday Night game)
Its Monday night football... and a game that I actually think might be better than it looks.

TieBreaker Game
Total points scored, Patriots vs Colts.
