This week's games

Among the categories of underdogs, favorites, home teams, and visiting teams, which would you guess would have netted you the most points after the first four weeks of the season? According to the crack analysis by Mike Griffin, the correct answer in this wild season is underdogs at 26 points, followed by home teams at 25 points, visiting teams at 21 points, and in last place, favorites at 20 points. Way to go, Vegas.

Here's another interesting week to challenge the experts and cause celebration or cursing on Saturday night. For the big buckage of $800 and the prestigious Ramon Escobar Trophy, which Mike Parker plans to spray paint purple and then add a yellow LSU across it Hollywood Hogan style, select your winners and e-mail them back to me by the end of Friday. I am going to something called the Southwest Classic this weekend, so I won't be sending confirmation e-mails as of this afternoon. I like Arkansas by a bad call in this game, by the way.
