NFL picks and thoughts from Saturday

With another Saturday of football behind us I am forced to fight through my current impairment and post our NFL picks. First I want to get a few things off my chest:

1. Auburn proved that they were not worthy of such a lofty ranking and the SEC is the most dangerous conference in college football.
2. Florida is good...but LSU gave away the game. So many turnovers in such a crutial game cost the Tigers
3. Michigan should be the number 2 team in the nation. No argument. Tough schedule. Convincing wins.
4. Georgia was neither as good as they played the first half, nor as bad as they played the second half. They were beat by a better team and superior players. Perhaps this will shut up all of the bandwagon fans proclaiming the greatness of the DAWGS. This was and will continue to be a reloading year. No SEC title and a mid-level bowl berth. That is what should have been expected from the first snap. Look for 2-3 more losses this year. While last nght will prove to be more the exception than the rule Georgia fans need not make reservations in Atlanta.

Kyle 46-40 (.535)
Matt 53-33 (.616)
