Another Pick Seven, More Winners Than Losers As Usual

Hlastradamus went 4-3 last week for a season-record of 38-20-2. That's 55.9 percent to the good, which doesn't leave much if you're paying a 10 percent vig to the casino (or an illegal source, which would be a very naughty thing for you to be doing, so cut it out).

But it's better than losing.

So expect at least four - and probably seven - winners among these seven picks:

1. TEXAS -5.5 at Texas A&M. The Aggies are down. Friday, they'll be out.

2. BOISE STATE +3 at Hawaii. Hate to pick against my Rainbow Warriors, but Boise is the first truly good team Hawaii has faced.

3. MISSOURI +2 vs. Kansas. As glorious a season as its been for Kansas, Hlastradamus thinks Missouri has a better team. Why else would he pick the Tigers?

4. UCLA +2.5 vs. Oregon. The Ducks are quacking up.

5. WESTERN MICHIGAN -11.5 vs. Temple. Hlastradamus saw Western's quarterback and running back and receivers last Saturday at Iowa. He was impressed.

6. NORTH CAROLINA -14 vs. Duke. If you can't give Notre Dame a game, how are you going to give one to a juggernaut like the Tar Heels?

7. AUBURN -6 vs. Auburn. It's the Iron Bowl, but Auburn's the only one of these two teams with the mettle to prevail.
