WWTL Point Spread Pick 'Em: Week 11
Written by We Want The Lion   
Thursday, 12 November 2009 12:08

Not unlike their beloved Nittany Lions, the streak of good fortune in picks may be over for Greg and Will.  Both guys posted a terrible 2-5 mark last week.  For Greg, he drops back to four games under .500, just two weeks after breaking even for the first time all year.  Meanwhile, the rough season continues for Will, who is now 20 games under .500.

There are some solid matchups on this week's slate, inside the Big11Ten and out.  First you have the Ohio State-Iowa tilt.  With Stanzi out and Iowa visiting he 'Shoe, the line couldn't be high enough in this one.  As for the Penn State matchup, 25½ seems a little unrealistic.  The only time the Lions have won by more than 25 this year came against 1-AA Eastern Illinois.  And while their record is poor, Indiana has given seemingly everyone a tough game this year, including Wisconsin last week.

On the national scene, we have a Friday night matchup between Cincinnati and West Virginia, as the Mountaineers try to knock Cincy from the ranks of the unbeatens.  On Saturday, TCU takes on Utah, and Pitt squares off with Notre Dame, in yet another contest after which Pitt fans will brag if they win, even though they've only beaten another mediocre team.  Remember Pitt fans: NC State.

As always, we're using Danny Sheridan's odds as our source.
