DFC X Week Nine Games

COLLEGE GAMES

25. Ole Miss Rebels (5-2) at Auburn Tigers (5-3), 1121a, ESPN360
Seriously, can Auburn be this bad? They started the season 5-0, and yeah, I could see a big loss to LSU, but they gave away that Kentucky game. The Rebels were completely overrated at #4, and might be overrated at #25. Pick 'em.

Georgia Bulldogs (4-3) vs 1. Florida Gators (7-0), 230p, CBS, in Jacksonville, Florida
Let's be realistic... at what point do the Gators run out of chances? An almost-loss to the Razorbacks, struggling against Mississippi State... this Georgia game scares me, really. If the Bulldogs don't beat themselves, they could pull the upset. Or... this might be the game the Gators win by 45, saying "Hey, we are the defending national champions. Reh-cah-nize." I hope for the latter.

5. USC Trojans (6-1) at 10. Oregon Ducks (6-1), 7p
I think Michael Nipp might have just peed himself, awaiting this game. This is going to be a fantastic game to watch... and its our tiebreak game.

3. Texas Longhorns (7-0) at 14. Oklahoma State (6-1), 730p
The 'Horns win blowout of Missouri, and for the first time this season, look like a championship contender. And now they face a former "flavor of the week" in OK State, who is much, much better than the Mizzou Tigers.

NFL GAMES

Houston Texans (4-3) at Buffalo Bills (3-4), 12p, CBS
I was one of 7 people who picked the Bills to win their game last week against the Panthers, and got it right. Cause really, Buffalo stinks, but they are one of the least smelly teams of the ten or so that stink in the NFL right now.

NYGiants (5-2) at Philadelphia Eagles (3-2), 12p, Fox
The New York Football Giants, after starting undefeated, are on a 2 game skid. Then again, after starting 5-0, here's who they played... Washington. Kansas City. Tampa Bay. Oakland. And yeah, they beat Dallas, the only good team on those first five games. Philly played some of the same teams, yet lost to Oakland. (they play Washington tonight)

Jacksonville Jaguars (3-3) at Tennessee Titans (0-6), 405p, CBS
If they are going to win, why not now? At some point, shouldn't the Titans win? Shouldn't all the fans be wearing Manning jerseys, just to feel like a winner?

Minnesota Vikings (6-1) at Green Bay Packers (4-2), 315p, Fox
If you can remember back this far, Favre started his career with the Packers... and does anybody else but me remember several years ago when the Vikings started like, 7-0 or something, and everyone was talking Super Bowl and how good they were, and then they collapsed, finished like, 9-7, and missed the postseason? I see this happening here with Favre at the helm.

Tiebreak Game
USC/Oregon, total points scored
