Sunday's college picks: Let's play two!

After beginning the year with five consecutive winning selections, yesterday's 2-3 mark was a bit disappointing. But it wasn't disastrous and, with two rare Sunday games today, I've a chance to get two of those losses back quickly. Again, I'm a bit pressed for time today, so there won't be lengthy write-ups.

So, here's what we've got:

Kentucky at Louisville (-3): Some say this season will see marked improvement in Louisville and noticable decline in Kentucky. Not sure I buy that. Despite Andre Woodson's departure, the 'Cats still have some offensive weapons in WR Dicky Lyons Jr. and RB Tony Dixon. Of course, Louisville can score, too, as senior QB Hunter Cantwell finally takes over the reigns. The difference is defense. Kentucky has one. Louisville has yet to prove that they do. I'm taking the SEC Club --- Kentucky --- and the points.

Colorado (-11.5) at Colorado State: I just can't see this one being as close as last year's overtime shootout in Boulder. Colorado's squad is more experienced than it was in 2007 and the Buffs signed an impressive class in the offseason, led by running back Darrell Scott out of California. I'm gonna lay the 11.5 and go with Ralphie.

YESTERDAY: 2-3
SEASON TO DATE: 7-3

Good luck on ya! Don't blame me!
