Look out. Bock columnist's picks at 67 percent
-Washington at Oakland: The Raiders the Packers to upset Los Angeles. The Rams
this column I am picking straight winners
and losers; the Vegas pointspread is ignor
ed. My goal for the year is to try to keep
pace with the almighty Hal Bock, who
picks the NFL games each week in the
Sunday Omaha World-Herald (Bock is
currently 1543-53 percent).
ecrfsen
If I can somehow better Bock's aver
age when the year comes to an end, then
salary negotiations may be in order for
next year. Well, that can wait, so here are
the selections for this week:
St. Louis at Detroit: St. Louis has had
two strong offensive showings with virtual
ly no help from their defense. Another
similar Cardinal performance will extend
Detroit's winning streak to three games.
The Lions by 1 1 .
-Buffalo at New Orleans: This will be
the first road test for the surprising Bills,
but New Orleans "Happy Birthday" de
fense should negate any home crowd edge
the Saints may have. Buffalo by four.
Minnesota at Chicago: The Bears'
Walter Payton loves to run against Minne
sota, and watching Philadelphia's Wilbert
Montgomery ramble through the Vikings
last week shouldn't discourage him at all.
Chicago by six.
-Miami at Atlanta: Who ever thought
the Atlanta Falcons would be favored over'
the dubious honor of plavine the two best
teams in the NFL in two consecutive
weeks. Baltimore gave Pittsburgh all they
wanted, and the Colts may do the same for
the Oilers, who are recovering from a
grueling Monday Night Game with Cleve
land. Houston by four.
-Tampa Bay at Dallas: The Cowboys
were probably wondering when their home
opener would roll around. Tampa Bay will
need more than a pass interferance to pull
this one out. Dallas by five.
-San Francisco at the New York Jets:
Two defense-less teams hook up for what
should be a point orgy at Shea Stadium.
Can the 49ers end the Jets losing streak?
Why not? the Jets by 10.
-Kansas City at Cleveland: The Chiefs
were favored in their first two games at
home and lost. Will things change now that
they are underdogs and on the road?
It's not likely. Cleveland by three.
Pittsburgh at Cincinnati: The only ques
tion here is how many starters Pittsburgh
will play. The Steelers by 14.
-San Diego at Denver: When the Char
gers come to Denver's Mile High Stadium,
they mysteriously start missing field goals
and dropping passes. I don't know the
reason why, so IJ1 stick with tradition.
Denver by three.
-New England at Seattle: A rematch
of these two teams' last exhibition game
which saw the Seahawks run wild in the
second half. The Patriots have some dis
sension problems, and the game is in
Seattle. The Seahawks by 1 0.
Spikers take two wins
The Husker Volleyball team beat
Wichita State 15-6, 15-5 and
Creighton 154, 154 Tuesday night.
Junior Terri Kanouse had five kill
spJces against Wichita State and eight
service aces against Crerghton. Fresh
man Deb Mueller scored seven points
and Mindy Martens added six points
and two aces during the Wichita
match.
Against Creighton, Maria Lichty
scored three aces and freshman Erin
Dean had five service aces.

may suffer a letdown after their overtime
loss to San Diego, but it can't oe drastic
enough to produce a loss against the Red
skins. Oakland by seven.
-Green Bay at Los Angeles: It is still
early in the seasonbut another Ram loss
by 17.
-The Monday Night Gamc-The New
York Giants at Philadelphia: Hie Giants
traditionally play the Eagles tough, so you
can expect that ABC's TV Broadcast of the
game this Monday night will attract a lot
would bring their simmering team prob- more viewers than did last week's Vikings-
lems to a boa. But then it would have to be tagies game on ciii. rnuaueiproa oy
a lot earlier in the season than it is now for eight.
