I've had my share of humble pie the last few weeks. Just once, I'd like for someone else to be humbled by my prowess at picking winners. But it probably won't happen this week.
There's plenty of hyperbole being tossed around this week in the national media about the Patriots-Colts game, but...

It's football season, which means it's also time for Beat the Experts, our annual interactive feature that pits you, the amateur, against some of the smartest football minds in Bakersfield!
OK, maybe that last comment is an exaggeration if you take it literally (and some of you sure will),...
