TRYKA'S TASTIES

Ouch.

The Stain Train was derailed with an 0-2 weekend, dropping the season tally to 2-4.

Alabama +15.5 at Florida - The numbers may point to Florida being a vastly superior team this season and revenge for Florida will be a big motivating factor as they were smoked by 'Bama last year 31-3. But, this is the SEC and I have a feeling this one will be close. Florida has to play LSU, Auburn and Georgia in succession after this game. Florida may be looking ahead. More than two touchdowns is too hard to pass up in this one. Don't be surprised if the Tide roll into the Swamp and shock the Gators outright.

Cleveland -2.5 at Oakland - I refuse to get off the anti-Oakland bandwagon until I am thrown off. The Raiders are far too hapless to benefit much from a bye-week. Cleveland gave a tough Baltimore team all they could handle Sunday and their home-opening loss to the Saints
doesn't look so bad now. Throw in the fact that Andrew Walter will make his first start under center for Oaktown and this game becomes a slam-dunk.
