DO IT AGAIN IN WEEK TEN

Last Saturday we posted a 7-1 winning effort which boosted our overall season numbers as well as our bank account.

Our goal this Saturday is to do it again. But first, let's check in with some of our subscribers.

Time to Open the Ol' Mailbag

Feedback from our fans
Periodically we receive feedback from our subscribers. Often we're questioned about our picks or perhaps a differing point of view on a topic that we've touched on. And, occasionally, subscribers offer thanks for helping them Make Mo' Money. Anyway, here a few highlights from recent fan mail:

From "Tide Terrific"..."another game with Tennessee. Another win for Bama. RTR" (yep. wait till next year in Knoxville)

From "War Beagle"..."we still have a shot" (of what? Tequila??)

From "I Know Bo"..."is Nebraska still on your probation list?" (Yes. Yes they are. But still on our "get well" card list)

From "Total Wreck"... "thanks again for picking against us. GT won." (hey, props for knocking off FSU. How's that Virginia game working for you?)

From "Chowder Head"..."thanks for including Harvard. It's nice to be rich and successful." (yeah, but you're ugly).

Let us hear from you. You can email us or use the nifty comment box down below. Best comment of the season will get an official Woolard's Weekend Winners coffee cup.

Here's Your Weekend Winners for Week #10...The Great Eight™...

#5 TCU @ #12 Oklahoma State...this could be one of the top two games of the day with both schools 8-0, and both teams putting up monster points. TCU averages over 49 points a game; OSU 44. If you love offensive football, then you'll love this matchup. The Frog's Trevone Boykin will be the difference as TCU secures a shot at the Big 12 crown. Take the Frogs over the Cowpokes.

South Carolina @ Tennessee...the Vols should handle the Gamecocks if they continue to play well n all facets: offense, defense, special teams. Tennessee is averaging over 36 points a game; USC 21 points. The bad news for the Vols, though, is the defense gives up over 400 yards per game. South Carolina will be led by local boy, qb Lorenzo Nunez (Harrison High School, Cobb County). He's a pretty shifty qb which might help against a much improved pass rush from the Vols. The line of this game (17 points) is just to deelish to ignore. In an UPSET SPECIAL, take the Gamecocks and the points.

#17 Florida State @ #3 Clemson...Dabo's team is sitting atop of the CFP initial rankings but faces some upcoming tough games beginning with visiting FSU. This game not only has ACC Atlantic Division ramifications but national championship as well. The 12 point line for Clemson is mighty tempting but we think qb Deshaun Watson is too much of a playmaker for Clemson to fall short. Take Clemson in a good one over the Seminoles.

#4 LSU @ #7 Alabama...this game thins the ranks of schools shooting for the SEC West lead. The Bayou Bengals feature rb Leonard Fournette who has had 9 straight 100+ rushing games. If Bama wants to beat LSU then they have to shut them down in the first half. The Tigers have outscored opponents 63-10 in the first quarter and 124-51 in the first half. Bama has a pretty stout run defense so Miles needs a great performance from qb Brandon Harris for LSU to leave Tuska-Loser with a W. The line is Alabama -7. In another UPSET SPECIAL, take the Tigers and the points.

Penn State @ Northwestern...it's no secret that the Wildcats have struggled to put points on the board this season with 20.9 points per game being the lowest in the Big Ten. And now they face a pretty aggressive defense in the Nittany Lions which lead the nation in sacks with 39, and an FBS leading 14.5 by de Carl Nassib. Plus qb Christian Hackenberg is starting to live up to his billing. Could be a long day in Evanston.  In an UPSET SPECIAL, run with Penn State.

Navy @ #15 Memphis...if undefeated Tiger High continues its habit of starting off slow they may find themselves in trouble with Navy's time consuming triple option offense which averages over 319 yards per game. The Middies are led by standout qb Keenan Reynolds who could be the difference maker tomorrow night. This is another one which we like the underdog and the points (8). In an UPSET SPECIAL, Navy sinks the Tiggers.

Arkansas @ #19 Ole Miss...this is a huge game for Mister Freeze as the Rebs control their own destiny in the SEC West. With a win over Bama, the Ole Miss crowd have a pretty good shot at finally landing in Atlanta for the SEC Championship Game by taking care of business. But the Hogs are not to be taken lightly as they've put up 117 points in the last two games. The 11 point spread is pretty tempting but we think Ole Miss will be too much for the Razorbacks. The Rebs lead the SEC in scoring (39.4) and total offense (519 yards). Factor in a healthy de Robert Nkimdiche and it's party time in the Grove. Take Ole Miss over the piggies.

#8 Notre Dame @ Pittsburgh...this noon time game features a hot Irish team whose only loss is to Clemson by 2 points. They showed their brass last week by gutting out a tough win over Temple and are sitting at #5 in the new CFP rankings. Irish qb DeShone Kinzer became the second qb in Notre Dame history to throw for at least 200 yards and rush for at least 100 in the same game. He is a difference maker and will be too tough for the Panthers to handle. The Irish will win, but this will be a tight one in the Steel City. Take Notre Dame over Pitt.

Good luck this Weekend.
