One week of the foosballz in the books. A lot of huge match ups and possible storylines, or better yet, questions. Is The U finally somewhat legit with the addition of Cam Ward, and a really nasty D-line? They both looked damn good. Will Coach Crew Cut make it through 2024, or will he get Harsin’d mid-season? Having Miami’s players over at your recruiting section, telling those guys to come to the U after that beatdown….not a good look.
Can LSU fans be happy with Kelly after a 3rd straight opening day loss? He did slam his fist on the table at the presser, so he’s clearly serious at this point. Likewise, are Nole fans still in Norvel’s tee-pee after getting manhandled at home by Boston College? Now 0-2 in the conference to start the season. Is Dabo going to join the 19th Century and start portalizing some players?
With all the conference realignment, the entire season looks to be loaded with great match ups every week. This week might be the exception. Texas at Michigan is certainly the Mark Key game, but unless I missed some, there’s not a lot to whet the whistle on. Maybe Tennessee at NC State? Anywayz…point spreads from Draft Kings
Texas @ Michigan (Texas -7.5) The defending national champs were only up 6 with 10:00 to go against Fresno State on Saturday. Wound up pulling away for a 30-10 most exhilarating victory. Michigan lost a lot from last year’s team, and Fresno may be pretty good. Who knows? Kind of how they won a lot of games last year. Texas pummeled the Mountain Goats of Colorado State 52-0. I think the Horns cover.
Texas: 31
Michigan: 17
Tennessee @ NC State: (Tenn -8) The Wolfpack skruggled for 3 quarters with the Catamounts of Western Carolina, before pulling away for a 38-21 win. Now, the Vols come to town, led by 6’6” QB, Nico Imalumavelanuwayva. I’ll call him Nico. So, Nico threw for 300+ yards and 3 TD’s in the opener against somebody. But Payton Thorne threw for 322 and 4 TD’s, so big fucking deal. I don’t know if you can call Tennessee a sleeper, because a lot of people think that if Nico is the real deal, look out. I tend to agree.
Tennessee: 42
NC State: 21
South Florida @ Alabama (Bama -31) I’ve heard some people go so far as to call this a revenge game. Why? Because you looked like a sun-dried turd on the side of the road last season against the Bulls? Souf Flurrda rolled 48-3 against an Alabama A&M level opponent, so they may have a little fire power. I don’t expect much out of them, though.
Bama: 49
South Florida: 10
Cal @ Auburn (AU -13) The Tiggers waylaid a hapless Alabama A&M. I’m glad they did, because I’ve always wanted to use waylaid in casual conversation. You couldn’t ask for the young guns to look any better. You could ask Payton Thorne to hit a wide open receiver standing 10 yards in front of him, but hey, he’s the Thorne in our side. Cal was behind to UC Davis until late in the 2nd quarter, when they returned a kickoff for 6, to change the momentum. They only racked up 281 total yards in a 31-13 win. I see us wearing that ass out.
Auburn: 41
Cal: 14
