It was a tough week for the top of the ladder as both Brian and Mike went 1-5. Sneakily, Evan is making his way back into this thing as he FINALLY had a winning record for a week *golf clap*. A lot of intriguing story lines in this week’s matchups. The redshirt freshman Famous Jameis vs the 5^th year senior Tajh Boyd in Death Valley. Case Keenum starting at Arrowhead trying to spark the Texans. Peyton Manning returning to the House that Manning built. I’ll be a sad Tony if none of these games live up to the hype. Without further ado:

TC’s Guarantees (12-9 overall, 1-2 last week)
I’ll be the first to admit, I got cocky last week. Nothing but focus this week for you guys. I’m so dedicated this week that I’ve thrown in a bonus pick that is a STONE COLD LOCK. No funny business this week, let’s get to the picks:

Florida at Missouri (+3)
Yes, I know that James Franklin is hurt, and quite frankly, I don’t care. Mizzou as a home dog to this Florida team is a straight slap to the face after going in between the hedges and coming out with a victory last week. You think they don’t look at this line as motivation? Mizzou not only covers, but wins this game outright.

Iowa State at Baylor (-33)
How many times to Roarty and I have to tell you? Get on the Baylor express before all the seats are full! A disappointing offensive performance last week (to their standards) against KSU will have these guys firing on all cylinders this week.

Browns at Packers (-10)
Are the Packers down a couple of receivers? Yes. Is Aaron Rodgers hurt? Not the last time I checked. Is Brandon Weeden still playing QB for the Browns? Yes. Bloodbath ensues.

BONUS STONE COLD LOCK OF THE WEEK

Ben and Jerry’s at Tony (-2.5 pints)
Big, and I mean BIG, deal on Ben and Jerry’s ice cream at your local Jewel-Osco this week. 3 for $10? A little don’t mind if I do. Picked up a Red Velvet Cake and went double stack on the Half Baked. Load up on this one because it’ll be off Vegas’ boards ASAP. Virtual guarantee.
