OBNUG Pick 'Em: Week Ten Results and Week Eleven Games

We're 10 weeks into the season and the chances for Stanford and Oklahoma State to lose are becoming fewer and fewer. Can Oregon knock off Stanford this week? Can Texas Tech give another inspired performance against Oklahoma State and beat them? We can only hope.

Join me below as we take a full look at this week's slate of games.

Now onto this week's picks ...

Stone cold lock of the century of the week

LSU was able to pull out a win and the cover last week to put me back on the winning side of the stone cold lock of the century of the week in the game of the century of the year. 

Now for this week...

(6) Oregon (+4) OVER (3) Stanford

Oregon has not played as well this year, even having a bit of a QB controversy on their hands, but I think their high tempo offense will give Stanford fits. This is my hope at least. I also hope there is no way that voters would vote Oregon into a rematch with LSU if Oregon should win this game and finish the season with 1 loss. But voters are stupid.

Bonus game

Not all games can fit into Yahoo's weekly Pick 'Em board, especially not the WAC ones that no one cares about. Well, we care about them. This week's bonus game:

BYU (-21) at home OVER Idaho

Idaho somehow pulled out a win over San Jose State last weekend and luckily I didn't hear anything about it until I just now checked the score. They have a whole 2 wins this year and I don't think there is an opportunity for another one with BYU, Utah State and Nevada left on the schedule. I think BYU rolls easily in this game.
