THE GAZETTE.COM PICK ‘EMS/

Week 10

Michigan at Iowa

Marc Morehouse - How did Michigan get the upper peninsula? Must've known a congressman or something. Doesn't seem fair. I wasn't even consulted. Michigan 38, Iowa 27

Mike Hlas - Festivus came early this year. The airing of grievances from Hawkeye fans this week would have made Frank Costanza beam with pride. Michigan 33, Iowa 32

Nick Pugliese - After going 0-3 last week, I have nothing to say. Michigan 35, Iowa 31

John Campbell - I want Joe Winters calling the coin flip. He will be all over those isobars and know exactly what end zone the Hawks want to be driving toward in the 4th quarter for a long, wind aided, winning field goal. Iowa 17, Michigan 14

Beth Malicki - Hey Iowa, please direct your angry emails about this pick to my husband: bdp@ShuttleworthLaw.com. Michigan 31, Iowa 28

Bob Brooks - I'm not going to change course. I'm going to go for the Hawks based on the odds. In the Ferentz era, Iowa wins in Kinnick 83 percent of the time. I think the Hawks are ready for their best effort of the year. Iowa 25, Michigan 23

J.R. Ogden – Two words: Denard Robinson. One word: Loss. Michigan 42, Iowa 28

Jeff Johnson – No bowl game at all for Hawkeyes? It's a possibility, folks. Michigan 24, Iowa 17

Rob Gray – When the Hawkeyes are down - way down, after losing to Minnesota - they seem out, but rarely are. Still, this one's dicey because of Denard Robinson. Michigan 31, Iowa 28

Jeff Linder – Don't need to worry about onside kick coverage this week. Won't be necessary. Michigan 30, Iowa 17

James Steward – If there's one thing Iowa can do, it's stop a mobile quarterback. Oh wait … Shoelace is going to have a field day. Michigan 38, Iowa 24

Scott Saville – Can the Hawks catch Denard Robinson ? Michigan 37, Iowa 34

John Sears – Hawkeye fans are still in meltdown mode after the loss to Minnesota. I don't blame them. That was embarrassing from every angle. The good news, they come back home to Kinnick where they haven't lost. Shocker! Iowa plays well and wins. Iowa 31 , Michigan 27

Scott Herbst (from The Gazette's Facebook page) – Iowa has trouble with mobile QBs. Michigan 25, Iowa 14

Kansas at Iowa State

Morehouse - I look forward to the Iowa State-West Virginia rivalry. Those crazy couch burners. I'm talking about West Virginia, of course. They burn couches there. ISU 28, Kansas 14

Hlas - Kansas won the Orange Bowl two years before Iowa did. ISU 33, Kansas 13

Pugliese - After going 0-3 last week, I have nothing to say. Iowa State 28, Kansas 20

Campbell - I had a dream that I went 0-3 last week. Then I got a letter from a Pick ‘ems reader confirming the fact. Made my day. ISU 41, Kansas 7

Malicki - Yep, I'm married to an attorney. Combine that with my job in the media and you can see why we are the punch line of many jokes. At least we get invited to parties. ISU 34, Kansas 10

Brooks - It's a pleasure to finally pick the Cyclones. This will tell a lot about their season. A consistent effort will bring victory. ISU 31, Kansas 18

Ogden – Think the Cyclones gained a little confidence last Saturday? Duh! ISU 35, Kansas 12

Johnson – Kansas is the Minnesota of the Big 12. ISU 34, Kansas 13

Gray – Cyclones finally played a complete game while drubbing Texas Tech. KU, meanwhile, managed just 46 yards against Texas. ISU stays on a roll for now. ISU 34, Kansas 17

Linder –Yes, Cyclones have a pulse. Now, make it a steady rhythm, boys. ISU 38, Kansas 30

Steward – Kansas is just as bad as Minnesota. And ISU can actually play some ball. ISU 45, Kansas 17

Saville – Clones make it 2 straight. Kansas 14, ISU 28

Sears – I knew it all along. ISU would pummel Texas Tech on the road. I lie. In fact anyone who says they saw that coming is a complete liar, not even Coach Rhoads saw that coming. Now they get a team probably worse than Minnesota. Win No. 5 is coming, or else there could be meltdown in Ames. ISU 44, Kansas 23

Herbst – Iowa State rolls, as much as I hate to say. ISU 42, Kansas 14

LSU at Alabama

Morehouse - LSU has the Honey Badger, but Alabama has the Honey Saban. Advantage, Crimson Tide. Alabama 24, LSU 21

Hlas - Boise State would beat either of these teams by 30 points and you all know it. Alabama 16, LSU 9

Pugliese - After going 0-3 last week ... well, you know. Alabama 24, LSU 21

Campbell - I can still hear those fans at the Cap One Bowl. ELL-ESS-U, ELL-ESS-U! Makes me want to pick anybody they play. Alabama 24, LSU 17

Malicki - Speaking of parties, we're pretty open in November so feel free to send that Evite to the previous email. Alabama 17, LSU 14

Brooks - I've agonized over this. It all comes down to which team is at home. It should be a big hitters game. Alabama in a photo. Alabama 21, LSU 18

Ogden – A national championship in November. Be kind of fun to see one of these is say, Iowa, some day. Alabama 21, LSU 14

Johnson – My guess is 4 out of 10 random people couldn't tell you what LSU stands for. Pssst: It's Louisiana State University. Alabama 24, LSU 21

Gray – On sheer personality and likability, I'll take Les Miles over Nick Sabin. On a titanic SEC battle between the Tigers and Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa? Roll Tide. Alabama 27, LSU 21

Linder –Hear this one's sort of big. LSU 24, Alabama 20

Steward – This has a chance to be the best regular-season game in memory. It's going to be all defense, and Bama has the slight edge. Alabama 17, LSU 14

Saville – Tide has the better defense. LSU 21, Alabama 24

Sears – The game of the century. The game of the universe. The biggest game in the history of earth. Are we hyping this too much? Probably not. These two teams are head and shoulders above the rest, but unfortunately anything outside of a nine-overtime game will probably disappoint. Alabama 24, LSU 17

Herbst – Alabama's defense is too much for LSU. Alabama 35, LSU 24
