Old dude, this year has been a freaking train wreck. Kinda like some of these predictions I have made in the past.
It's true.
The good news is that the Big Ten presidents didn't cancel these picks. I am feeling the HYYYYYYYPPPEEEE! for this year, and am ready to dish out some knowledge. Watch me work.
Before we do that, a word from our sponsor:
Sponsor? A 40-year old used magazine with David Whitehurst on the cover?
Times are hard, Seabiscuit.
Not that hard, old dude. As I was saying, watch me work!
Glorious Green Bay Packers (+2.5) vs. Minnesota Vikings Well, the Vikings wanted the Packers to open the season, and it is too bad that the People's Stadium is closed off to fans. I'll stop right there as it's too early for me to grind my ax in preparation for some rage. The Vikings come into this year without Diggs, and having extended Kirk Cousins and Dalvin Cook. This is a home game for them, but there will be no fans. As for the Packers, it's been an entire year of people freaking out about the Packers drafting Jordan Love instead of addressing holes defensively and at wideout. This game is going to be close, as the Packers and Vikings do match up well with each other, and this could go either way. The key for me is can Kirk Cousins be protected against the pass rush, and if the Packers learned their lesson about closing out teams when they have the chance. Packers 24, Vikings 16.
I have no idea. We haven't seen either of these teams play since January. This is gonna be a crap shoot. I'm going to agree with you, but I don't feel strongly about it. Packers 21, Vikings 13.
Bear Down Chicago Da Bearz Still Suck (+2.5) vs. Detroit LOLions This game is probably going to be a complete dumpster fire, and a hard pass unless you have a rooting interest or you got stuck with skill guys in fantasy football. Da Bearz fans told us all that they ran the division last year. That wasn't their first mistake. Their first mistake was trying to say that with Mitch Trubisky as your starting quarterback. Gino would like to forget that Da Bearz passed up both Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson for Trubisky. For some strange reason, Trubisky is starting over Nick Foles, who was the big trade acquisition for the team in the offseason. I guess Rick Mirer wasn't an interesting replacement. The LOLions are continuing their obsession with trying to clone the Patriots in every single way, but not having Darth Hoodie, Brady the Deflator, and Robert Kraft around. Da Bearz will win, but a fair warning. If this year has been any indication, the Super Bowl will be Browns-Lions. If that is the case, we're screwed. Da Bearz Still Suck 10, LOLions 0.
The apocalypse looks like this:
It's been 63 seasons since those magic moments. I would rule out nothing, but I don't think Tobin Rote is coming through that door. Bears 14, Lions 13.
Enjoy your football and we will be back assuming Kevin Warren doesn't shut us down. Ben out.

Or Night Train Lane.
maybe the Bears will convince Trubisky to play more than one quarter of football going forward...
but, to be fair, his throws were not as off as his receivers' ability to adjust to them this week. Maybe its just knocking off the rust... time will tell.
