Welcome back to week two of predictions. In case you missed last week, we are replacing the open thread with a little prediction game. As it appears just about everyone is heading out to the game, ticket or not, I’m getting this up a bit earlier.
Want to pick against the HLS staff in this battle of clairvoyance? Enter here.
Here are the standings from last week. Remember, 1 point for each: straight up winner, spread, over/under. 2 points if you pull a #Texadamus like I did and nail the sucker dead-on.
[table “” not found /]Here are some of my favorite loyal reader submitted game descriptions:
Fuck Rice and their stupid band. The RERISE OF GOLSON is nigh and the Jaylon Smith Murder Train needs more blood for fuel. – NDEddieMac
BOLD, sir. That take is strong to quite strong.
Quick start. Wardrobe malfunctions (thanks a lot new apparel provider) lead to a few miscues and much to everyone’s delight a BK nip slip.
While BK’s fixing the wardrobe, he downshifts the offense accidentally keeping the second half pretty boring. – IrishMoonJ
BK nip watch was certainly in full effect. Thankfully, no nip-slips and/or other errors.
Irish win. Period. – Irishyoder1
I mean, it’s not wrong.
In true ND fashion, ND will look bad early and play from behind. They will then settle down and look really good and take the lead. They will then try to give the game away with late game turnovers but hang on to win. – Goldmyer81
Goodness, “Hold me I’m Irish” in full bloom here. Thankfully this didn’t happen.
Remember to put in the optional description fun. Perhaps one day I’ll assign bonus points to this because HLS is like “Who’s Line is it Anyway” where the points don’t matter!
Staff Picks
[table “” not found /]Cat Picks
Well, my cat, Gulliver, sure flopped on his animal picking debut. Isn’t he aware that animals are supposed to predict the future? He’s currently 0-1 unless last time he meant that we were going to devour Rice. What does this week hold?
THAT’S A GOOD KITTY!
(Unless you only pick losers in which case, BAD KITTY, BAD!)

It disappoints me that our predictors gave them points. You should be Kinder.
Did I say Kinder? That’s just because they come in Eggs.
Like the scUM GoosEgg.
