Earlier today I was checking my tally meter to see how many people had visited my blog and i saw that of the 541 people who checked my blog on Saturday, over 500 of them were from third world nations.
While I am not sure what draws poor people to the BaldingReport, i do feel sympathy for them. It is because of this sympathy that I am offering these readers a chance to escape their poverty by posting my picks for week 1 of the college football season. By betting on the teams I tell them to, the poor people who read the BaldingReport will not only be able to feed their families, but will also tell their friends about their successes. Then those friends will log onto the BaldingReport and start making money off of my gambling predictions and the cycle will continue to grow. Note to Bush Administration: This is how you nation build
As a convenience to my readers I have made picks for every college football game in week 1. (just in case the local bookie in New Delhi only offers a few games)
In case some of you don't know gambling symbols, I listed the team you should bet on is listed on the left and is in bold.
For example the first game that is listed is a game where Miami of Ohio is at Ball State. Miami OH is the underdog by 6 points hence they have the +6 by their name. If Miami were favored to win the game by 6, they would have a -6 by there name instead of the +6. The team that you should bet on is always listed on the left.
Anyway its on to the picks!!
Miami OH +6 @ Ball State
The Ghost of Ben Rothelsberger leads Miami to the victory
Buffalo +32 @ Rutgers
Hopefully Buffalo borrows some players from the Bills

LSU lost 4 1st round picks, and breaks in a new QB in conference opener
