Bears will win, but how many points will they score?

Surely, you’re aware Kansas football faces No. 3 Baylor Saturday at Memorial Stadium. And, surely, you realize the Bears are going to win.

That’s why we didn’t include the KU-Baylor game in this week’s edition of Pick Six. No way the Bears lose. So why ask people to predict the outcome? Well, KU’s omission did catch Tom Keegan, Matt Tait and Scott Stanford off guard. So, for the remainder of the season, we will include Kansas games among our six from which to pick winners. (Even though choosing KU’s opponent will be a freebie almost every week.)

With that said, how many points do you think Baylor puts up? 60? 70? 80?? Let us know in the comments section below.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Fantasy sports sites DraftKings and FanDuel reportedly are being investigated by the New York attorney general. What’s your most regrettable fantasy sports-related gaffe?


Last week: 5-1 | Season: 23-7

I’m doing well (4-0 and 3-1) in two of
my three fantasy football leagues
right now, but I’m 0-4 in the other.
Marshawn Lynch is a big reason why I’m
winless in that league. I drafted
Lynch with the No. 2 overall pick
after Le’Veon Bell went at No. 1,
since I was skeptical how Adrian
Peterson would return after a year
off. Ben Roethlisberger getting hurt
hasn’t helped, and neither has Justin
Forsett, TY Hilton and Demaryius
Thomas having an overall subpar first
four games to their standards. But
Beast Mode looking more like Least
Mode when he’s been healthy enough to
play behind Seattle’s spotty offensive
line is proving to be a disappointing
first-round pick.


Last week: 5-1 | Season: 23-7

Drafting Johnny Manziel in 2014.


Last week: 5-1 | Season: 23-7

I set the alarm clock for 2:58 a.m.,
woke up my wife, and did so to claim
Reuben Droughns at the earliest
possible moment. He didn’t do as well
after I claimed him.


Last week: 5-1 | Season: 23-7

Not winning the millions of dollars
the TV ads are trumpeting.


Last week: 6-0 | Season: 22-8

Well, I’m not proud of it but I once
spent an entire fantasy football
offseason talking up former Bengals QB
Jeff Blake so a buddy of mine would
draft him in the first round leaving
Detroit QB Scott Mitchell for me to
pick. Pretty sure neither one of us
won it that year.


Last week: 5-1 | Season: 22-8

My biggest gaffe is agreeing to enter
former J-W staffer Ryan Greene’s
baseball fantasy league every year.
The league is full of fantasy geniuses
like ex-JW staffer Rob Sinclair and
it’s like I’m taking a 20 dollar bill
(monopoly money of course) and
flushing it down the toilet. I have
absolutely no chance. I’ve tied for
first in several fantasy leagues, only
to lose the tiebreaker. This year I
finally won a baseball title!! But it
wasn’t Ryan Greene’s league. Too tough
of competition. Those scoundrels are
too smart for me!


Last week: 5-1 | Season: 21-9

My only fantasy-sports gaffe is that I
did not more thoroughly vet the
character of my competitors. Who knew
they could all be such an
unscrupulous, lying, no-good, cheating
bunch of cheaters?


Last week: 5-1 | Season: 21-9

Never made one.


Last week: 4-2 | Season: 18-12

Back in 2004 when UConn won the NCAA
Tournament, I was set to win around
$300 from a March Madness bracket
pool. To me as a 7th grader, that was
essentially the same as thousands of
dollars. I was tied in the standings
with one other person and the
tiebreaker was margin of victory in
the title game. With Ben Gordon and
Emeka Okafor I had full confidence in
the Huskies before the tournament, so
I picked them to win by 14 points and
the other guy had them by 7. UConn was
up by 14 points with 2 minutes left,
but made dumb plays with backups and
only won by 9, making me settle for
2nd place and a much smaller pot of
the prize money.


Last week: 6-0 | Season: 17-13

I’d say every season includes at least
one regrettable draft pick or early
cut, if not more. I remember before
the 2014-15 NBA season I was pretty
high on new Charlotte Hornet Lance
Stephenson. The Hornets needed a
scorer, and boy does Stephenson like
taking shots. Well, the guy who
infamously blew in LeBron James’ ear
during a playoff game, kept on blowing
(shot attempts) in Charlotte. I
couldn’t even make this up if I tried:
Stephenson made 18 of 501
three-pointers last year. At 17.1%, he
set a new NBA record for worst
three-point shooting in a season
(minimum 100 attempts). I picked him
in the 5th round.
