Off and Running

Let's hear it for visiting teams!

Let's hear it for visiting teams!

It seems all I needed to get on the winning track of picking Mountain West Conference basketball games was, well, a mindless decision to select all those nfl jerseyteams playing on the road Saturday.

It culminated with a 3-1 record, which around here compares to UCLA going for 88 straight in the 1970s.

The smart person would choose not to tempt fate and mess with success. The smart person would continue picking the visiting teams.

Which is why I'll go with all those playing at home for the weekday games this trip around the Wheel of Doom.

Today's games:

AIR FORCE (plus-10.5) at TEXAS CHRISTIAN: Do you know how to tell when a team is really struggling? When the head coach refuses to make an opening statement on a weekly conference call with reporters and goes straight to questions. Air Force is so bad, Jeff Reynolds might completely give up just and stop calling in.

My pick: TCU.

UTAH (minus-8) at COLORADO STATE: So much has been talked about Utah's three games following this one home to UNLV, at BYU, at New Mexico that you wonder if the first-place Utes realize they have to show mlb jerseys up and play in Fort Collins.

My pick: CSU.

UNLV (minus-7) at WYOMING: The Cowboys are 10-1 in Laramie, where it is a toasty 29 degrees and snowing today. UNLV won't be able to press Wyoming guards as it did those from TCU last week, given the Cowboys have players who can actually dribble without looking at the ball.

My pick: Wyoming.

OVERALL RECORDS

Me: 17-27.

Guest celebrities:

Matt Youmans, UNLV basketball beat writer for the R-J: 1-2.

Bridget Graney, my 7-year old daughter: 3-1.

Coin flip: 1-3.

Ellie May, the family dog: 2-2.

Adam Hill, UFC beat writer for the R-J and nfl jerseyassistant coach to the Irish Rookies of NJB Northwest: 2-2.
