Every week T-Roc will share his thoughts on what is going on in college football, make picks and fire back at your nasty comments. Want to learn more about him, check out his first post or visit his archive.

It’s Canuck Thanksgiving this weekend and I’m not going home for the first year in an eternity. Not surprisingly, my social options for the weekend are limited, given everyone else fucking off to their families for turkey and pumpkins and shit.

So that leaves me, my couch and my TV as best friends all day on Saturday, and that’s how I like it. ‘Cept I gotta problem with the pussy, y’see…

I have a cat for the weekend. A friend needed a favour while she left town and there was a mouse in the house last week, so I figured it’d be a mutually-beneficial thing. The furball spent his first night chez moi last night. So far all he’s done is knock shit over. That’s fine, but if he somehow pushes my TV over, that shithead’s got some serious ‘splaining to do.

Here’s hoping I report back next week with neither cats nor mice to worry about. And a winning betting weekend would be fucking sweet too. I’m overdue, dontcha think? All odds are from Pinnaclesports.com as of Wednesday evening.

Wisconsin at Ohio State, 3:30 p.m. ET: Wisconsin +16

I’m basing this one on the raves Wisconsin has been drawing from some of the better college football writers I read. This seems like too many points for the Buckeyes to lay against a team with some nice recent performances.

Everybody knows Terrelle Pryor, but who’s confident he’ll be the best QB on the field on Saturday?

UConn at Pitt, 3:30 p.m. ET: Pitt -8

I haven’t touched Pitt since LeSean went pro, but Dion Lewis is doing a fine job of keeping defences from keying on Bill Stull, who’s putting up massive numbers in turn.

The Huskies are full of underrated unknowns and have covered the spread in every game this season, but UConn has less talent and less health than this Saturday’s opponent.

Oregon at UCLA, 3:30 p.m. ET: Oregon -3 ½

Oregon shit the bed the last couple times against the Bruins, but the Pac-10 title’s a possibility and (almost) everyone’s forgotten about the opening loss in Boise.

Plus I just haven’t liked UCLA’s football program since I started writing about college ball. I wanted to when DeWayne Walker was touted for the head coaching gig, then Rick Neuheisel was hired instead and, well, there goes your goodwill.

Duke at NC State, 4 p.m. ET: NC State -14 ½

The Wolfpack offence sucked ass on national TV to open the season but has blown up since. I like Russell Wilson to revert to his form vs. Pitt as opposed to repeating last week’s dud vs. Wake.

Duke’s defence has led to the bulk of the Blue Devils’ paydays in recent years but opponents have been toasting the ‘D’ regularly in ‘09.

Utah at Colorado State, 6 p.m. ET: Colorado State +7 ½

The Utes have posted double-digit wins in the last three head-to-heads but that stops on Saturday. Utah hasn’t impressed and is far removed from last year’s Sugar Bowl squad.

Colorado State’s loss at Idaho last week was shit, but the Rams are better than that. The line is too tempting not to call for a big bounce-back at home for inconsistent CSU.

Fresno State at Hawaii, 11 p.m. ET: Fresno State -10

Whether it’s related to travel fatigue or off-field distractions, Hawaii’s home-field advantage normally ranks among the strongest in the country. Fuck that noise this weekend. The Warriors start an inexperienced QB on ‘O’ while their ‘D’ can’t stop the run.

Fresno State’s backfield is sick for a school outside the BCS conferences. The Bulldogs have also held their own against undefeated BCS teams on the road this year and are coming off a bye.

Last week: 3-3
