OK, last week was a waste of a great start for our picks (for entertainment purposes only, of course).
And a 1-4 mark was far from entertaining.
But who can expect a starting quarterback to break an ankle, the national champion front-runner to play flat and a team generate more than 500 yards but score 12 points. Twelve.
At least we had Clemson. Yes Clemson, a team that took its show on the road Thursday night at Louisville, laying less than a touchdown. (Yes, I liked the Tigers a lot, for whatever that’s worth. Unless a random hot dog-eating contest decided it, in which case we are all in with Cardinals defensive coordinator Todd Grantham. War All-Beef Franks.)
When faced with a rough picking patch, remember your keys.
