in any sports competition, no matter who they may be playing. However, my local drinking establishment has a weekly pick sheet and I must choose the winner for the Sharks vs Jimbos this weekend. We don't consider point spread, just straight up who will win. A&M is at home, but I am not sure about them. Any sarcastic advise is welcome, but I need to choose wisely. Fire away.
I can't pull for Ole Miss

- Start date
Be true to yourself.
If you can't pull for Ole Miss at all, then pick aTm.
If the establishment has really cool & perhaps lucrative prizes and you like the prizes, then sometimes you have to bite the bullet.
Just be sure to disparage the Rebels when you do pick them. It might make you feel better.

I don't think this is a hard decision. It's 50/50. If Jimbo hasn't completely lost the locker room, they should be able to run it down UM's throat and they have the athletes to keep their offense in check. On the other hand, Jimbo.
Only way I'd pick Ole Miss is if this game was the deciding game on who is going to win and you wanted to hedge your bets, where you either win money or enjoy ole miss losing.
This one is tricky. On one hand I like A&M at home likely playing with desperation. On the other hand they may have mailed it in for the year. You never know which Jimbo you’ll get from week to week. Good luck!
I'd say Jimbo HAS completely lost the locker room considering it's now a weed friendly zone but I think A&M can still pull it off even if they are all higher than a kite. Hell it ain't like you're bettin' the farm; have fun with it and don't hedge.
May be a situation like State’s game with Kentucky. Their back is against the wall. I honestly have no idea who to pick in that game.
You take Ole Miss. If they lose you’re happy because OM lost. If they win, at least you get something out of it.
I had this thought on Monday and I think Brian aluded to it today on T&L, in which they didn't argue much (thank goodness)
aTm is either going to get trounced because of their turmoil or they are going to come together and play their best game of the year
Here's what I think will happen - aTm's defense is good and their turmoil has largely been on the offensive side of the ball. OM doesn't play much D, so the Aggie offense will have a fighting chance. Because aTm's defense is pretty damn good, OM won't be able to just run up and score whenever they want. I don't expect aTm to beat them like LSU did... but I wouldn't be surprised if it happened.
27 Aggies
24 OM
This is OMs second road game of the year against a team with equal or better talent. I predict they will be 0-2.
write ole miss and a&m on a piece of paper. Poop on it. Wherever it lands pick them.
You jackasses want Jimbo fired? I want him at aTm the full duration of his contract.
Uh, when gambling, you pick the team you THINK will win/cover, regardless of who you WANT to win. If you gamble based on which team you like better, then maybe you shouldn't be gambling. This is not complicated.
I agree, but the OP said this a weekly pick sheet with no point spread. That’s not really gambling unless it’s expensive to enter the pick sheet.
Right, but I'm assuming the pick sheet has some sort of prize based on getting the most games right, which is what pick sheets are for. If the goal is just to circle the teams you like the most, then sure, go with your heart.
Some of y’all are giving A&M way more credit than I’m willing to. I think Ole Miss rolls in this game. A&M is a train wreck.
No money to play, just a lot of Rebel fans there who I really like beat each week. Bragging rights are HUGE.
This is the truth.
I know too many Florida State alums and fans who really want the Aggies to experience Full Jimbo.
And now that I've typed that, Full Jimbo sounds vaguely NC-17....
My two favorite sports teams are Mississippi State and whoever’s playing Ole Miss.
The other advantage is Durkin is their DC. He might know some things others wouldn't but Kiffin might know some tendencies about Durkin as well.
I hope Ole Miss loses in every event they participate in unless it helps Mississippi State.

Well there you go. When they brag about winning, you can say well hell yeah, even I picked y’all. A&M is dogshit.
I would rather brag about them losing out than winning an absolutely meaningless weekly pick sheet at a bar. Give me Aggy in this one!
I think the Bears win the A&M game but I'm not pulling for them. I might actually pull for them against Alabama though - there's not much to like about that team, especially after this past Saturday night.
Grit your teeth, do what you have to do.
Our world DOES NOT Revolve around OM. USE THEM to your benefit.

Thanks for all the good advice and insightful analysis, but at the end of the day, OM is a “no way”. Gig ‘em and Hail State!
What will you actually lose if wrong? I would say choose against rebelblackbearlandsharks every time possible, but I’m just hateful like that on the subject. Yet, money talks indeed.
