The guys both bounced back from a terrible Week 10 to post respectable showings in Week 11. Will went 5-3 and Greg went 4-4, and Will is now seven games back in the standings. Is it likely that he'll make up all the ground between now and the end of the season? No, it isn't. But stranger things have happened...Jim Tressel won a national title after all.
There are definitely some interesting matchups in the Big11Ten this week, and some interesting lines to go along with them. In addition to some big time rivalry games, four of the five games feature a road favorite. Will they all cover? Not likely. Interesting to see who will falter on the road.
On the national slate, we'll see if Stanford can continue its hot streak against Cal, whether Oregon can move one step closer to winning the Pac-10, and weather Ole Miss and LSU can put on an entertaining game (not likely). And of course, whether the guys can actually call any of these games correctly (even less likely).
As always, we're using Danny Sheridan's odds as our source.
