Old dude, the good news is that we won't be sued by the Trump/Biden campaigns over what we do this week. Plus, there are other things going on in the world.
Yeah, you probably don't want Rudy Giuliani in your breakfast nook.
No, that would be bad. I am feeling the HYYYYYPPPEEE! over a couple of games, and can't wait to see if certain things go as planned. It is time to watch me work.
Minnesota Golden Elite Rowers of the Boat (+7) vs. Illinois Fighting Illini PJ Fleck may continue to keep rolling with his brand, but he needs to focus on his day job. Blowing a 17 point lead on the road to the Terps was inexcusable. Look, I know that the kicking position was a wasteland. Sure, Maryland deserves all the credit in the world for fighting back. But at the end of the day it is about executing. The Gophers seemed to keep running the ball over and over, and here is something that PJ might not want to admit with the Gophers. Last year was their chance. This year they are young, and now PJ has to rely on his own recruits. That senior heavy team from last year was filled with guys that the current staff inherited. That Iowa game from last year will haunt the Gophers more than the 2003 Michigan game did for Glen Mason. Illinois is a bit of an enigma to me. Yes, they have some talent. But they did not defend the pass against Wisconsin, and Lovie made the mistake of cutting off his beard. The Gophers should win, but I am not sold on this team doing anything this year. Row Row Row Your Boat Elitely 17, Cheating Illini 10.
The beard was so good. That was a shame. I think the Gophers will win, but Illinois won't make it easy. They are a pretty good run defense and the Gophers are struggling in the air, Rashod Bateman notwithstanding. Gophers 24, Illinois 20.
Detroit LOLions (NL) vs. Minnesota Vikings Some say that Dalvin Cook is still outrunning the Packer defense. No, I'm not salty that he put up a 50 burger against me in fantasy football. The Vikings somehow pulled out a gutty victory at Lambeau, and have a lot easier job against the LOLions. Matthew Stafford may not play because of the virus, and the Vikings will be sky high after what happened last week. The good news for the Vikings is that as bad as they have looked in the past, the LOLions have been horrible this year. The Vikings should cruise comfortably and look ahead to other challenges. Vikings 45, LOLions 0.
Actually, I beg to differ about the Lions. They really haven't been terrible; they've won more games than the Purple and are still on the outer fringes of the playoff hunt. Dalvin Cook is the key to this game. If he goes off again, the Vikings win. Vikings 24, Lions 23.
Glorious Green Bay Packers (-7) vs. San Francisco 49ers I have no idea how this game is going to go, or even if this game is going to be played. The Packers looked like crap last week, and will be scraping the bottom of the running back barrel. The Niners are somehow in worse shape, and half of the guys they might play I don't know who they are. Keep in mind, I have been watching football for years. They will not have Jimmy G, Kittle, pretty much most of their wideouts, and a bunch of guys on defense. This road trip was the one that worried me coming into the year because it is a West Coast trip on a short week. Thanks a lot for that, Fox. Good luck trying to play some of these guys in fantasy football. The Packers should win because they could get healthier, and plus this is a revenge game for the team. Call me a delusional Packers homer all you want for this pick. Packers 31, Niners 10.
It's not delusional at all. I have no idea who is going to be running the ball for the 49ers, but Raheem Mostert won't be. The 49ers are also far less stout on defense without Nick Bosa and DeForest Buckner. The Packers should have time to throw and if it's a shootout, they may have more bullets. Packers 34, Niners 31.
Enjoy your football this weekend. #FreeMertz, and that Packer game is going to be a complete trainwreck. Ben out.
