Hi everyone. D is on assignment this weekend, so I am going to have to do this one solo. This will be fun and something different. Watch me work!
Minnesota Golden Elite Rowers of the Boat (+5) vs. Nebraska Cornhuskers. The Gophers normally would be expected to lose in Lincoln, but this year is a little different. Scott Frost, the link to the last golden period of Husker dominance under Osborne, has not produced the magic that Husker fans were expecting. To be fair, Frost has a bare cupboard to work with and some of the underclassmen he has look pretty good. This is a big chance for the Gophers to get a win in a tough venue before the Huskers start to get closer to the glory days. Row Row Row Your Boat Elitely 45, Huskers 10.
Illinois Fighting Illini (+24) vs. Beloved Wisconsin Badgers. The performance that Wisconsin pulled off on national television last weekend was highly disappointed. I don't know if the Badgers are that terrible or if Michigan was that good. Thankfully, the Badgers still control the Big Ten West right now if they win out, and it does not matter what Iowa does in conference play the rest of the year. Illinois is a horrible football team and it is clear that Lovie Smith is not a good college coach after all the interest when he was hired a couple years ago. Badgers 60, Illinois 24.
Michigan Hail to the Victors (-7.5) vs. Michigan State Sparty the Spartans. The announcers in Ann Arbor talked about Jim Harbaugh finally getting his signature ranked win during the Badger massacre last week. I disagree and think the biggest problem that the Khaki Man has is beating his rivals. Since coming to Michigan with a lot of hype and fanfare about bringing back the glory days, Harbaugh has only beaten Michigan State or a school in Columbus once. If we hold Harbaugh to the John Cooper standard where you have to beat your rivals, he fails the test and it is not even close to passing. In addition, Sparty is a very tough out in Spartan Stadium for a big game. Sparty 17, Michigan 0.
Minnesota Norsemen (-3.5) vs. New York J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS. At this time, I can't confirm if Kirk Cousins convinced Mike Zimmer to have Olive Garden provide the team meal tonight at the team hotel. We can't have Cousins eating there, because some insecure New Yorker thinks going to Olive Garden should be beneath all of us. The Vikings look to have passed the crisis stage of the season, and I think they should comfortably do that. The Jets look like they will struggle this year, and there will be plenty of purple in the stadium. Vikings 31, Jets 17.
New England Patriots (-2.5) vs. Bear Down Chicago Da Bearz Still Suck. This game looks a lot better than when the schedule came out. The Bears are leading the NFC North, but this is a prove it game because when you want to be elite, you have to beat the good teams. The Patriots had an emotional come from behind win against the Chiefs last week, and they should be able to comfortably beat the Bears in Chicago. Patriots 35, Da Bearz Still Suck 10.
Enjoy your football this weekend. Ben out!

I'm not of the Eastern Coast Elite, but they are close about Thee Olive Garden. I'm not sure as of when it stopped being what it once was, but it isn't. There was a time when ya could take a prom date there. I'm not sure if that happens anymore. If so then nowhere near as much as it did.
It's not bad, but it's not as good as it used to be. But I hear that if one asks that they'll make a cheeseburger. That'll get me to go back in there after not for over ten to fifteen years. I may have to hurry. I'm not sure how available it'll be much longer if it's one of the places that Gen Y doesn't go to like Applebee's and other national chains
i'm am italian. Olive Garden aint it.
but they do serve a pretty good salad.
There was a time when ya could take a prom date there. I'm not sure if that happens anymore.
I've seen prom dates in fast food joints, and that's before the dance.
