| @Virginia Tech(+) vs Miami | W |
11/30/01 Update The line on this game has gone to 14. We hit
it again at that generous number bringing our total ride on the Hoakies to
5%--that makes it an A+ play.
The Hoakies always play the Hurricane tough in Blacksburg. The way this season is going it would not surprise us to see Virginia Tech win. Miami is a different team on the road and they may run into a buzz saw here. We like the emotional, situational & revenge factors that point to VT here, and we also have the Scorecast (which factors in home/away trends) pointing to only a 7 point Miami win. A+ Play |

| @Indiana vs Kentucky | W | The Wildcats have been playing well lately and should score some points here. But the Hoosiers will score more. |
| Penn St @Virginia | L | We performed our Scorecast using the latter half numbers of home/away trends for this contest. It indicates a 7 point Lions win. However we feel Penn State has several intangibles pointing to a dominating win for them. Not the least of which is Al Groh may be more focused on recruiting for next year. |
| @Texas vs Colorado | L | The Scorecast has the Longhorns winning by between 9-26 points. Both teams have good offensive numbers but Texas has a much better defense. Colorado rushes for 4.8 ypc, 229 ypg & 47 rushes a game, while Texas only gives up 2.5 ypc and 71 ypg--a strength on strength match-up. Colorado passes for 8.1 ypa & 215 ypg, while Texas only gives up 4 ypp & 117 pyg. Another strength on strength match-up. Texas passes for 7.2 ypp and 240 ypg, while Colorado gives up 6.2 ypp and 199 ypg. A strength on weakness advantage for the Texans. B+ Play |
| @Ole Miss vs Vandy | L | Ole Miss must win to go to a bowl. They have had their chances to win in all three of their consecutive losses. Vandy has packed it in on their lame duck coach and they don't have the team defense to contain a solid Rebel passing offense. |
| @SJSU(+) vs Stanford | L | The Spartans have owned the Cardinals in recent years. This is their final game of the season while Stanford is going to a bowl. San Jose loves to beat Stanford and we have cashed in on that love 3 consecutive years. |
| @Oregon vs OSU | L | Our Scorecast has the Ducks winning by 16. We also like the revenge factor as the Beavers beat Oregon last year in the final game to knock them out of major bowl consideration. OSU is having a down year while Oregon still has a shot at a major bowl--we see them rolling up the score here. |

NFL Picks 12/02/01 "A" rated play
| Team | W/L | Comments |
| Philadelphia @KC | W | Thursday Upraded 11/29/01 Philly's dee has been superb on the road, allowing an average of 7 pts a game. They suddenly have a challenger in their division and coming off last weeks loss should be focused here. A Play |
B rated plays:
| Team | W/L | Comments |
| Under 43 GB/Jax | L | 12/2/01 Both of our distinctly different scorecasting models project this as an under game. Green Bay has the better defense overall but Jacksonville plays tough dee at home. Green Bay can run the ball and should be able to on the jaguars. While the Jags should have a tough time throwing on the underrated Packer secondary. |
| @Miami vs Denver | W | 11/29/01 The Bronco's struggling secondary no match for Fin's rejuvenated pass attack. Denver will have a hard time moving the ball. |
| @Seattle vs SanDiego | P | 11/29/01 San Diego was our favorite dark horse to make it to the playoffs, now they are really struggling. The Seahawks have been playing great at home and the Chargers will not be able to take advantage of the loss of all pro cornerback Springs. |
| @Cleveland vs Tennessee | L | The Browns are only favored by one? |
| New England(+) @NYJ | W | The Patriots are playing solid ball and we're getting a FG. Our Scorecast projects them winning by 1 point. |
