Yep. Put a fork in me after the eff up last week combined with this week. Oh well.
All of 2016 sucks.

So do I pick LSU this week and put them in the 7 slot? There really isn't another good candidate for my jinx.

I had FSU in the 7 slot last weekend. I was trying to use your 7 slot jinx.

Worked for you. I had Tennessee there and it almost worked. Honestly, I've only had one 7-point loss this year, and that was FSU to L'ville. Tried it on UT twice against VT and UGA, and they had monster comebacks both times. Tried it on FSU against USF and while they struggled, they won by 20. 3 slot has been the worst for me this year, I've gone 1-4 in that slot so far. So maybe the curse has shifted.......

Maybe the 7 slot is "The almost lose and then have a massive comeback" position for you now.

I'm giving it one more week with LSU in the 7 slot. If LSU comes back from a big deficit to win this week, my new curse is the 3 slot.

A couple of absurdly easy picks from the ACC this week. Putting Ohio St. in the 7 slot against Wisconsin. Feel my wrath, Urban!

Yep, those ACC picks are my 9 & 10, and I have the Bucknuts at 7 as well. At least I won't be losing much ground to you this week.A couple of absurdly easy picks from the ACC this week. Putting Ohio St. in the 7 slot against Wisconsin. Feel my wrath, Urban!

Looks like just about everyone had a good week this past week. Could have been a different story if Clemson and OSU didn't pull out those OT wins.
I think I'm officially retiring the 7 Curse. It's only worked once this year. The new curse might be the 3 slot. I've missed my 3 slot pick in 6 of the 7 weeks so far.

Though it was my 10 point pick, it was awesome to watch Penn State win in the 4th Qtr over OSU.
Interesting selections this week - 9 of my 10 winner picks are away, including UF, so I guess it's really just 8. But still crazy.

Lots of home dogs this week. There was a week like this earlier in the season, too. Always tough to pick a bunch of road teams to win, but I definitely think one or more of the undefeated teams on the road will lose this week.
