I don’t have a witty bit this week so you’ll just have to deal with just a pickem. Its really SEC heavy overall this weekend so we should have a pretty good idea of who is a real contender in that conference by the end of the weekend. Also a plug for the Friday nigh Pitt-VT game which is by far the best ACC game this week.
Lets get it: https://forms.gle/7CALvxBXKfdy2dmq9
Last week was a nicely lazy stroll into a night slate that lived up to everything and more. This week, I think every slot will live up to, not quite that hype, but pretty damn high hype. Even if the main event ends up in a blowout, I think there is one or two under cards that can be just as fun of a watch. This is a weekend to block out the calendars, lets get it.
College football holds a very important place in my life, but balance is the key to everything. I have reviewed the schedule, and I am hear to tell you that touching grass is the best plan on Saturday.
Here is my recommended schedule:
Morning: Get right with God, whether that is getting your house in order or sleeping in
Early afternoon: Watch one half of the Tech game to confirm we win
Afternoon: Go find something to do out in your community
Early evening: Get a nice early dinner reservation, looking at 6ish
Evening/Night: Having completed your fully enriching day, rot on the couch for the good slate of night games.
You’re welcome for planning your life.
Addendum: I would like to formally apologize for the lack of Monster Big 12 content this week. The best game is Friday with Texas Tech against Houston, and I would recommend a watch there as this game could decide who is in the title game. Other game is Kansas vs Arizona in London, which is a mess to pick. This oversight will be fixed next week.
But not for us. It was so great to see everyone at the CU Georgia Tech game last week. I am filled with the rage of a thousand suns and think we will lose by a lot of points this week. This has been your Georgia Tech Segment for the week.
Remember when we said week one was really weak, well it seems like as usual CFB pulls out a banger when no one expects it. This week provides the helmet matchups that were somewhat lacking last week, but I think some of the lower-key matchups will end up being better. Lets get this bread.
Yeah its a double pick, what are you gonna do about it.
First, please fill out your predicted playoff bracket. Because of time that is all we are doing this year so good luck. Reminder that you need the four power 4 winners and the best G5 winner.
Second, its week one! Usually I like to wax poetic on all of the cool games coming our way, but honestly this year is kind of a stinker. Usually in week one I try to stay away from “well this line looks kinda off but don’t watch the game”, but here we are. I could go into that more, but Paul already did a better job than i would so go check out his work. https://disparatethoughts.blog/
Picks are due at noon on Saturday. Good luck!
Hey you made it to the bottom of the pickem. For you, I have my newest improvement, data tables! To start I’ve just pulled line, start time, and SP+ information, but I’d love suggestions of other data points that might make picking easier.
