CFCC Week 12 The Real Experts

by: The Cold Hard Truth

A few weeks ago, LSU was on the verge of a national title. The committee said that Ohio State was yet to played its best football. They said Oklahoma was out of it, and that the PAC 12 was worthy of a spot in the final four. TCU and Baylor were apparently being ripped off, and watch out for Utah - the Utes are hot! So after all the smoke cleared after Week 12, it's tough to find a real expert.

There is really only one expert who delivers each year predicting games - the Las Vegas oddsmakers. When money is on the line, the only guarantee is that people who professionally predict football games for their livelihood know more than almost everyone else. So as I look through the CFCC rankings, it is no surprise that out of the 473 contestants of the CFCC, Johnny Vegas is ranked #14. In other words, when we weed through all the bragging about our superior performance each week, in reality, there are only 13 people in this contest who are better than the Las Vegas oddsmakers. That's it! - 13 people! Remember that next time you head to Vegas with expectations of winning money. Chances are, you won't.

Michael Primrose from Kyle, TX is an expert - at least this week!. He maintains a small 6 point lead on Chris Mayo from Sloughhouse, CA and Fave Mann from Garland, TX. The Top 7 all went 10-5 for the week. Jeff Raberding from Minocqua, Wisconsin score 70 points and moved up 14 spots to #6.

Charles Yaws from Midland, TX delivered a staggering 13-2, 100 point performance to win Week 12. Charles' teammates Rick Hluhan and Judy Vesper finished #5 and #12 for the week, as the Dust Devils shot up like a rocket to #19 in group play. But let's be honest, they have no chance against the likes of "The Know Nothings", "The Geriatric Florida Dummies", and the "Water Weenies". These three teams have been the experts of CFCC group play this year.

As we head down the stretch, both individual and group play contests are up for grabs. Maybe this will be the year that Johnny Vegas wins it all. Don't be surprised. What I want to know is how they do it? How do they know that Ohio State will lose? How do they know OU can beat TCU or that LSU is a pretender? What clue is out there that gives you the heads-up that Arkansas can come from 17 points down to beat Mississippi State or that UConn can beat Houston? Just give me one clue, because I want to be an expert too.
