Give credit to Rorabaugh. He successfully picked the Lions to snap their losing streak, and his 14-2 week makes him our leader on the year at 36-12. Gentile (35-13) could be tied with him, but he forgot to pick the Sunday night game and we're forced to notch one up in the loss column. Way to go. Anyways, we were a collective 66-30 last week, bringing our total on the year to 189-99 (65 percent). Better than Oplinger's chances of finding a girlfriend (20 percent), but not we're still not as likely to pick winners as Miniaci is to miss a layup (95 percent). And the picks are in....

Clark (30-18): Bears over Lions, Bengals over Browns, Texans over Raiders, Colts over Seahawks, Jaguars over Titans, Giants over Chiefs, Ravens over Patriots, Bucs over Redskins (Can I pick them both to lose?), Bills over Dolphins, Saints over Jets, Cowboys over Broncos (turns out the Donkeys aren't that good), 49ers over Rams, Steelers over Chargers, Vikings over Packers (Farve will show up big)

Miniaci (28-20): Bears over Lions, Bengals over Browns, Texans over Raiders, Colts over Seahawks, Titans over Jaguars, Giants over Chiefs, Patriots over Ravens, Redskins over Bucs, Bills over Dolphins, Saints over Jets, Cowboys over Broncos, 49ers over Rams, Steelers over Chargers, Vikings over Packers

Rorabaugh (36-12): Bears over Lions, Bengals over Browns, Texans over Raiders, Colts over Seahawks, Titans over Jaguars, Giants over Chiefs, Ravens over Patriots, Redskins over Bucs, Saints over Jets, Broncos over Cowboys, Niners over Rams, Steelers over Chargers, Packers over Vikings

Rung (27-21): Bears over Lions, Browns over Bengals, Texans over Raiders, Colts over Seahawks, Jaguars over Titans, Giants over Chiefs, Ravens over Patriots, Redskins over Buccaneers, Dolphins over Bills, Jets over Saints, Broncos over Cowboys, 49ersover Rams, Chargers over Steelers, Packers over Vikings

Oplinger (29-19): Bears over Lions, Bengals over Browns, Raiders over Texans, Colts over Seahaks, Titans over Jaguars, Giants over Chiefs, Ravens over Patriots, Bucs over Redskins, Bills over Dolphins, Saints over Jets, Cowboys over Broncos, 49ers over Rams, Steelers over Chargers, Vikings over Packers

Gentile (35-13): Didn't make picks

The Roster

Mug

Dave Miniaci is a senior majoring in journalism and is the Daily Collegian's sports chief. He has previously been sports night chief and a sports copy editor. He has also covered men's rugby, men's track and field and field hockey. He is from New Jersey and is a big Devils fan and proud of both, and he doesn't care if you hold that against him.


Mug

Adam Clark is a senior majoring in journalism and is the Daily Collegian's sports editor. He previously covered fraternity and sorority life, crime and courts and was the Collegian's summer 2009 news/sports editor. His favorite athlete died on the last lap of the 2001 Daytona 500 and his favorite football team is coming off the worst six-year stretch in NFL history. He does hold it against Dave Miniaci that he's from New Jersey.


Mug

Dan Rorabaugh is a senior majoring in sports journalism and minoring in English. He is the sports copy desk chief, and was previously a reporter for the men's rugby, men's cross country, men's volleyball, women's soccer, women's basketball and men's lacrosse teams. Last year, the impossible dream happened - one of his favorite teams, the Phillies, won a championship. Now if only the Eagles could catch some of that magic, he might be able to actually find peace with sports.


Mug

Michael Oplinger is a junior majoring in media studies and political science and the Collegian's assistant sports copy desk chief. He previously covered the men's tennis and men's volleyball teams. Even though he enjoyed the Phillies' World Series victory, he misses the days of Jose Mesa and David Bell.


Mug

Eddie Gentile is a senior majoring in journalism and minoring in history. He works on the sports copy desk and previously has covered the women's tennis team, the Lady Icers and the Penn State baseball team. Gentile is your stereotypical Philly fan - he considers every game a loss until they actually win... and even then he'll probably still be moaning. Go birds.


Mug

David Rung is a senior majoring in journalism and minoring in kinesiology. He works on the sports copy desk and previously has covered the women's swimming team and the men's rugby team. Rung isn't as die hard about pro sports as his sports staff brethren from Philly and Pittsburgh, but he does take pride in being a Red Sox fan before the bandwagon started.
