Forty-Four Football Picks Against the Spread
Just for fun. Always remember, it’s just for fun. It’s 12:05 on the digital stove clock. My mind is awake; the house is asleep. Time to burn off some of this surplus brain activity by picking as many college football games as I can. These are going to be lighting quick, off the cuff picks in no particular order.

There. Forty-Four. That seems like enough.
It’s 12:21 in this dark kitchen. Dishwasher humming. Chris Mannix stuttering in the cold talking to “the Hangman Bob Ruth!” “It’s John!” The iPad on the counter is serenading me with Tarantino dialogue. Musical lullaby before bed. Eyelids heavy, brain empty. Those are the picks. Nothing else to say except, they might all win, they might all lose. Just as likely to do either. If 22 of them win, I’ll be happier than ‘Six-Horse’ Judy on a Bluebird snow-covered Day in Wyoming.
