Sports Predictions

So I have been reading my Sporting News about a week late and it really is interesting to see how the "experts" picked games versus how they actually turned out. In the last two weeks Matt Hayes has correctly predicted 14 games out of 24. A svelte 58%. Not bad for someone who gets paid to watch sports all day and then write about sports. Oh and in this week's article he all but crowned the Cal Golden Bears the national champs, which they then promptly lost to Oregon State. The bad thing is he picked USC twice to win (Actually 1-1), Notre Dame twice to Lose (1-1), and Cal to beat an unranked team. News flash, I want the games between top 25 teams picked and any top 25 teams that are going to be upset. That's it, I don't really want to know if you think Kansas can hold off Baylor, or Boston College can pound Notre Dame, that is pathetic. But what is really pathetic is picking USC to beat Stanford by 41 and they actual lost by 1. But the most pathetic thing is that someone can actually get paid the same amount without any repercussions for a terrible job. I guess the real pathetic thing though is that I am still reading sporting news... for now (see the Browns' record).
