Father O’Malley’s Picks of the Week! – Week 11

By: Father O’Malley

A Friend of the Clergy

This week Father Peter O’Malley is trying something different, something he hasn’t done in a long, long time. For the first time in nearly 35 years of picking college football games, Father O’Malley is doing so sober. He claims to have had an eye opening experience watching the Fighting Irish lose last weekend. He wanted to know if the pain he felt was true pain or just his boozy emotions getting the best of him. Father O may or may not be turning a page in his life, by making this HUGE step. Father O’Malley even held back some of his fat jokes about Charlie Weis, and how he is the most disgusting, fat blob to ever waddle this earth. I truly think Father O is entering a new chapter in his life…

Week 11 Picks

Game 1

Florida State vs. Wake Forrest (12:00 PM Kickoff), Winston Salem, NC

Father O says: This game is going to be the battle for the St. Petersburg Bowl, seriously. If Florida State loses on Saturday they go to 4-6. FSU just so happens to play Florida on the 28th; which they will lose, unless Tim Tebow leaves the team and enters the seminary…bringing the Criminoles to 4-7. Losing to both Wake Forest and Florida will eliminate FSU from going bowling for the first time since 1978. Good job Bobby boy! Now let’s pick apart Wake Forest. If they lose on Saturday, they go to 4-7 and therefore taking themselves out of any bowl games. Let’s be serious for a moment… Both teams SUCK. Florida State is starting a freshman quarterback on Saturday because Ponder is done for the season. Wake Forest is a team of chokers, all of them. They are the only team that can look like national champs in the 1^st half, and look like a D-3 team in the 2^nd half. Florida State will lose to Wake on Saturday, and they will lose to Florida the flowing week. Because Wake wins this week, they will hopefully beat Duke the following week; they will win a trip to lovely St. Petersburg, Florida and play their bowl game in warehouse… Wake wins 21-13.

Game 2

Georgia Tech vs. Duke (12:00 PM Kickoff), Durham, NC

Father O says: If Georgia Tech doesn’t win by 35 points, they should just give it up… Duke has a whopping 5-4 record right now, but with wins over Virginia, Army and North Carolina Central, you cant get too freaking excited. Georgia Tech wins big, 56-10.

Game 3

Iowa vs. Ohio State (3:30 PM Kickoff), Columbus, OH

Father O says: Now this is a game! Two teams fighting to win the conference in mid-November, now that’s college football! Even though it’s the Big Ten and as everyone knows, the Big Ten sucks, this is going to be a interesting game. With the game being at Ohio State and Iowa without their QB who had a horse-shoe stuck up his ass for the first 9 weeks, I don’t see how Iowa can pull away with a win. Ohio State wins on Saturday and Buckeye nation can start getting their tickets for Pasadena! Ohio State wins, 28-17.

Game 4

Utah vs. TCU (7:30 PM Kickoff), Fort Worth, TX

Father O says: TCU has got to be feeling pretty good after there big win last week at BYU and sitting at #4 in the country. Utah, which has only lost 1 game since Nov. 24^th of 2007, has also got to feel pretty damn good about themselves. This game is going to be a knock-down, drag-out fight to the bloody end! Both teams are good, and rightfully deserve more credit than they are given. This game is tough to pick, because both teams are so damn good. But I have to go with the “under-dog” in this one if you can really call them the under-dog. Utah 18-17.

Game 5

Notre Dame vs. Pittsburgh (8:00 PM Kickoff), Pittsburgh, PA

Father O says: At this point, I really don’t care anymore! Our chances of making it to a big bowl game are shot, we lost to a bunch of Seamen, and now we have to play Pittsburgh at home. Maybe Jerome Bettis can help us out and put on the Gold helmet for good times sake, or at least take a wiz in Pitts water cooler? If not, its going to be the Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl, or the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl… The Bus wizzes in the water, ND wins 24-18.
