It’s hard for me to envision a scenario where LSU doesn’t win and cover against Wisconsin.

And that Ohio State line is sneaky sharp. They’re gonna have multiple NFL guys opting out of the game. Additionally, a true freshman is probably gonna start the game at QB.

90% of my picks are a pure crap shoot, based solely on history and without knowledge of how they truly are this year or who might play in the game. It led me to randomly selecting the biggest dog in the whole lineup. Oh well.


Edit: And the one I dwelled on the longest, and even went back and forth more than once, is Alabama Michigan. I can't figure that matchup one way or another.

I was pretty much the same. For the big games it is hard to know what players are sitting out...which would make a difference. I assume anyone in the portal won't be playing.

Yup, and they have great WRs. You can beat Texas through the air. Their secondary is their weakness. If Penix is on his game, he can pick them apart.

This. Texas's secondary is their Achilles, so this should be fun.

I probably watched 5-6 quarters of Washington football this season live or just playing catchup after the fact. every time I tuned in it was Penix shitting on teams and them throwing the ball at will. It’s gonna be fireworks.
