I have to admit, this past Saturday was a fun watch. There were a ton of really competitive and entertaining foosballz contests, starting with Ole Miss and TexASS A&M. Despite the loss, and getting planted, it’s still my opinion that Jayden Daniels further solidified why he’s the best signal caller in the nation. He won’t win the Heisman with 3 losses under his belt, but he’d better be in NY at the end of the season. Overall, a snoozer of a slate this upcoming weekend, but if the games are anything like what we saw Saturday, I’ll be glued to the couch again into the night.
Michigan @ Penn State: After 9 games, the Fighting Red Dawns are finally playing someone. But, are they? Is this going to be another coulda’. shoulda’ woulda’ for James Franklin? Why would anyone think differently? I see Michigan methodically cruising to a 10 point win. I would love to see the Maize and Blue, wind up just blue, (See what I did there?) but until Penn State actually wins a game with some meaning attached to it, I ain’t picking them.
Michigan: 24
Penn State: 14
Alabama @ Kentucky: It’s only Tuesday, and I’m already tired of hearing all the “trap game” talk from Bama. The Cats suck. This is not the 92’ Crimpsum Tahd, but they’re good enough to spank the kitties with ease.
Bama: 35
Kentucky: 14
Ole Miss @ FUGA: Fuck Georgia open as a 10.5 point favorite. That’s surprising to me, but as Lane Kiffin said several years back, when his F.A. Owls were 50+ dogs to Oklahoma, “they didn’t get to build all those multi-million dollar structures in Vegas by being wrong.” Still, Ole Miss is 8-1, and I’d normally think an upset is a good possibility. However, Lane Kiffin is still a dumbass of epic proportions, and even if it is close, we’ll look back and scratch our heads, asking WTF was he thinking? Anyone see him go up 20-7 against A&M, and…..go for two? Just add that to the list of dumbassery he has on his resume.
FUGA: 38
Ole Miss: 28
Auburn @ Arkansas: Two in a row, baby. We bona fide again. Yeah, okay! The consensus was that Vanderbilt is bad. So is Auburn, but we’re still a far lesser level of shitty than the Dores. That game could have easily wound up 52-14, and the avalanche should have started with a correct call on the botched punt return by Vandy. But, it didn’t, and that level of shitty was on display the rest of the game, with head scratching play calling, an ass-load of dropped passes, and stupid penalty after stupid penalty. Still, this is a better team than it was 3-4 weeks ago. Finally settled on a QB, and some of the play calling actually fits his skill set.
Arkansas has been in every game during their losing streak. I’m not putting down the Hogs, but I don’t read much into the win over Gusty Gaytah. That’s a defeated bunch, and the Swamp was maybe half full. They probably won’t win another game this season with LSU, Mizzou and FSU still to play. The thing about all the miscues on Saturday for Auburn, is they are all fixable, starting with catching the damn ball when it hits you in the hands. And Hugh Montgomery needs to stay with what works, and not inexplicably go into a shell so many times. I think all that happens, and I’m calling for a most ripping victory here.
Auburn: 31
Arkansas: 24
Feel free to opine, talk amongst yourselves, or generally just shove it up your asses.
