Detroit News Picks Hijinks
I open the Detroit News and I immediately went to the Michigan v Western Michigan line to see predictions like David Duchovny just checking out the Bunny Ranch for a date. I then see Chengelis predicting WMU over Michigan. After cleaning the shart from my shorts and floor, I realized she picked almost every underdog, including a apocalyptical beating of Indiana State over PSU.
Western Michigan
Minnesota
Ohio State
Northwestern
Indiana
Middle Tennessee
Illinois
Tennessee Tech
Indiana State
Chattanooga
Oregon
South Florida
Oklahoma
Boise State
Possibly a joke? If so, then why Oklahoma, msu, and tsio? Does she actually believe the 35 point underdog Chattanooga stands a chance against Nebraska? Anyone want a crack at her reasoning? Is she BKFinest? THE_KNOWLEDGE? WTF kind of grabass is going on inside the Detroit News sports office?!

Maybe she was picking against the line?

There you go thinking with logic. Thread closed. I was hoping for something more juicy.

Definately against the spread. MTSU over Iowa proves that.

As long as it is definate I'm not too concerned...
(Not playing the role of spelling police....okay, maybe playing that role, but all in good fun).
Fewer than 15 hours to kick...

i remember them doing something similar like this last year, and I believe there was a thread on it.
They are picking against the line im pretty sure

I think you mean Tennessee Tech.
September 2nd, 2011 at 7:26 PM ^
It is against the spread.
FWIW, she has Michigan winning, just not covering.

The spread is 14. Smart money picks Michigan all day. She is still nuts.
September 2nd, 2011 at 10:10 PM ^
The people that make the spreads know what they're doing. The whole point of the line is to make it reasonable to pick either side of it.

Maybe she thinks Michigan will be very vanilla tomorrow. If the spread was 15, the pick would make a lot more sense, though.
