Week 2 Top Ten and Key Game Predictions

Week 2 Top Ten and Key Game Predictions

This is probably one of my favorite things to do is predict games.  I am one of the few who take a chance and predict the results of game.  What I normally do is predict the winner and a guess by how much the team will win by.  Every week I post on Sunday/Monday the recap of how I did and keep a running record to keep myself accountable.  When I predict scores, I try and guess the difference.  This is probably the hardest part but makes things more fun.  Remember this is all for fun and I am wrong all the time.  Good Luck to all teams!

Rankings used are from the Media Poll.

(Key: 1-10 Toss Up, 11-20 Close Game could still see upset but favorite (team I picked) should win, 21-31 good game early but favorite pulls away, 32 and up heavily favored to team I picked)
