Quick programming note, with all that’s going on we’re going to have an abbreviated 5-at-10 on Thursday (Happy Thanksgiving, by the way) and then the mailbag on Friday. With that in mind, we’ll have a special Wednesday edition of the Fab 4 (plus-1) picks.
From the “Mama McNabb stage here at the beautiful Al Davis Studios,” here we go…
Fab 4 (plus 1)

The Fab 4 (plus 1) went 4-1 last week and made it look pretty easy. We’re 37-20-1 against the spread this year, and that’s not too shabby. (If you had put, let’s say 100 jelly beans on each game the 5-at-10 picked for you, you’d be 1,490 jelly beans to the good this season. That’s a lot of jelly beans.)
So as we head to Thanksgiving,
Kent State at Temple over the 39: Kent State has won four straight and scored 24 or more in each; Temple has scored 24 or more in five of their last six. Numbers are our friends people.
