Fab 4 picks

Well, this has been far from entertaining. We dropped two more bowl games Wednesday, with Pittsburgh losing outright and Utah needing a late field goal to win but not cover.

Sometimes there are bad beats – games decided by freaky plays or untimely and/or meaningless scores.

There are also are simply bad picks, and we have certainly had a few of those from time to time.

But the last two were some of those times that we feel like we backed the right side, and that side outplayed the other, it just didn’t work. That’s the reason that 60 percent success rate in stuff like this is a level of excellence that would allow you to make your living doing this.
