NCAA Football - Week 10 Predictions

Ringer's Record
Last Week ATS: 11-9
Last Week SU: 18-2

Season ATS: 86-85
Season SU: 148-23

W are now down to the Elite 8 of undefeateds in college football. Missouri and Texas Tech fell from the ranks of the unbeaten last week. Leaving Alabama, Oregon, Florida State, Ohio State, Baylor, Miami, Fresno State, and Northern Illinois as the only teams left without a loss. We are guaranteed to be down at least one more this week as Florida State plays in their second Top 10 battle in three weeks, as they host bitter rival Miami. While I didn't go undefeated with my picks last week, I do finally have a winning record against the spread on the year. Here is how I expect Week 10 to play out. (Rankings based on Ringer Poll)

2013-2014 NBA Predictions

NBA Hoops are back! The season tips off tomorrow night with my picks to win each conference both in action. In a highly anticipated matchup LeBron and the Heat take on the Bulls in Derrick Rose's return to the court. Out west it's the battle of LA, and the Lakers aren't the team to beat. The NBA season is a grind that won't conclude until June, but when it's all said and done I see LeBron furthering his legacy with a 3rd consecutive title. Then, let another summer of LeBron begin. Here is how I expect the 2013-2014 NBA season to unfold. (Playoff teams are listed in bold and italics)
