I guess it’s going to take a couple more weeks before we have those football Saturdays with multiple monster match ups. This weekend’s slate of games is less than stellar, but it’s still college foosballz, so every Fall Saturday is a good day. All lines from Draft Kings
USC @ Michigan (USC -5.5) The Big 10 opener for both teams. USC looked decent in a win against LSU, then blew out Utah State. They’re coming off a bye week, and roll into the Big House with momentum. Michigan? The offense is teh suxxors, getting stuffed by the Longhorns, then doing just enough to best the mighty Red Wolves of Arkansas State. Take the ribbed condoms.
USC: 28
Michigan: 14
Cal @ FSU (FSU -2) Oddly enough, the Noles are favored here, despite the 0-3 start, and getting pushed around by Memphis this past Saturday. I assume it’s a matter of name recognition, and the football world not knowing, or caring that Cal is 3-0, already with a cross country win in the SEC. I forget who they played. Da’ Bears are a decent team. Nothing great, and a few simple coaching adjustments by our Tigers, and I think we take that one. But it is, what it be, and Cal has got to be feeling good about themselves, while there’s no way FSU can honestly think there’s much left to play for. They’re a team full of transfers who are probably questioning some of their life choices.
Cal: 24
FSU: 20
Tennessee @ Oklahoma (Tenn -7) The Vols look scary good in the early going. Josh High-pull has the offense going at the usual fast pace and flinging it around the field. QB, Nico, Imalunawaveylays, has 6 TD’s through 3 games and hitting at a 71% clip. The Sooners have totally underwhelmed so far, hanging on the beat Houston, and trudging their way to a big pile of meh win against The Green Wave. I think with it being Okie’s inaugural SEC game, the crowd and the adrenaline will be a factor for a half. In the end, too much Rocky Top.
Tennessee: 38
Oklahoma: 21
Arkansas @ Auburn (AU -3.5) This one scares me. It’s literally a make or break game for the rest of the season. Most of the experts and analysis I’ve seen and heard had Auburn being 4-0 going into the match up with the Sooners. A dismal showing against Cal put a damper on that, and raised way more questions than answers. A change to HB24 injected just a bit of new life, and as solid as his performance was, it was still against one of the worst defenses in the nation.
The Hawgs come in 2-1 with a close loss on the road in a barnburner to Okie State. This past Saturday, they did just enough to take care of UAB, a team that got pummeled the week before by La. Monroe, 32-6. 6’6” QB, Taylen Green, has energized the Piggies. He’s a 56% passer with 3 TD’s and 2 INT’s, but averages 268 yards per game. Where he hurts teams the most is with his legs. He’s ripped off long runs in every game so far this season. Therein lies one of my keys to the game. If Dunkinz pulls the same shit, and rushes 3, and doesn’t teach the secondary who they need to be covering, this one won’t be close. If he unfucks that, and secondly, Freeze sticks pretty much to the same game plan as NM, I think we take it in a shootout.
Auburn: 42
Arkansas: 35
Just a note on another team. Ole Miss has looked sharp, and as advertised. However, their schedule to date has been, Furman, Middle Tennessee State and Wake Forest. They have Georgia Southern this weekend, with Kentucky and South Carolina after that. Could you serve it up on a shinier silver platter to start the season.
Predictions? Thoughts? Feel free to opine, or generally just bugger off.
