The First and Only College Football Blog You’ll Ever See on This Website: “The Dream” Picks All the Bowl Winners

As you may have seen, I’ve been known to write a football blog or two in my day. But everything I write covers the NFL. Why don’t I ever write about college football? Because I don’t give a damn about football players until they become whining, overpaid, entitled assholes. I don’t write about college football because I don’t know it very well. I’m the guy who thought USC stood for “University of South Carolina” as recently as three years ago.

But I understand that hundreds, no, thousands of people look to the WBFF blog as their #1 source for sporting information. So it gives me great pleasure to introduce a new guest blogger who’s going to provide all my readers with the winning picks in each college bowl game this season. We’ll refer to him by his preferred nickname, “The Dream.” I don’t wanna give away his real identity because I don’t want people going after him if he loses you all thousands of dollars over the next three weeks.

But I know that’s not going to happen anyway. You see, even though I know nothing about the college game, that doesn’t stop me from getting an itchy trigger finger when it comes to making bets every Saturday. So rather than blindly pick some winners every week like a woman picking her way through the March Madness brackets, “The Dream” has been my go-to guy for college locks. And I gotta tell you, this year he was something like 9-0-1 against the spread in his locks. The reason why there are only 10 games in that record is because he calls a lock only when he truly means it.

I’m really not exaggerating with how good he’s been (it’s been a nice piece of ongoing comedy to see him struggle so much in the weekly NFL pick ’em league we’re in together…such a genius with college, such a disaster with pro). It got to the point where I felt like someone was giving me a weekly allowance, deposited directly into my online gambling account during the 2012 college football season. And during this holiday season, I’m in the giving mood. Why hoard all of “The Dream’s” picks to myself like an Uncle Scrooge when I can spread the wealth among my readers, like a…hold on, searching google for the opposite of Scrooge…like a Fezziwig!

OK, get out your pen and paper or your ctrl + C. Here we go:

So there you have it. The Dream has spoken. He selected 16 Favorites and 16 Underdogs.

But why weren’t there any locks in all those picks? Well I asked The Dream and he said he didn’t want to lock in any games just yet, especially because some of these games are still three weeks away. But he said he felt best about his Kansas St and Notre Dame picks. Do what you want with that info.
