Prediction-work Orange

Loyal readers and Irish fans, it’s that time of the week again: predictions! This week’s form is now live, so be sure to get your picks in and join the fun. Please be sure to use that Google form and not a comment/tweet/Facebook comment because I will only be going off the resulting spreadsheet for my sanity.

As a reminder, you will be picking the winner, the spread, the over/under, and a prop every week. Bonus points are given for precise predictions and hilarious GameDay comments. Speaking of, let’s get to my favorites from the Purdue game and see which ones win the top honors:

The Irish strike early and often. They want their pick 6 back from the Michigan game so Redfield, in a tribute to Shumate, takes it to the house. Golson has another solid game and still doesn’t give a shit about Heisman talk. – @TX-Domer-CA

Sorry, but Max Redfield gave us a tribute to Stephon Tuitt terrible/maddening/I hate targeting ejection tribute instead. Nice try though.

Irish are undefeated in the shamrock series and covered the spread each time. That streak will continue as we bang on that big ass drum all day long. – Irishyoder1

So you’re the one to blame for the Irish failing to cover!

Purdue is too boring to think of anything funny. – stogiesnbeer

I mean, this isn’t wrong.

More like Purdon’t amirite?! – NDEddieMac

As you would say, sir: low-hanging fruit, still tasty.

In the Subway Domer’s honor (this should be brought back in the IBG), I’ve written a haiku for the game:

z-z-z-z-z
z-z-z-z-z-z-z
fifty-five to seven

-@IrishMoonJ

Your prediction is off, but your haiku game is strong. One point for you, sir!

HLS Cat Picks

Ok, so I’m really trying to figure out what, if any logic my cat, Gulliver, is using here. He’s 1-2 in picking winners right now because we proved that all animals hate Michigan. HOWEVER, maybe he’s picking against the spread in which case he’d be 2-1 instead. I mean, we can all forgive him picking Rice in that case with the huge spread that game offered, right?

Or perhaps we are reading too much into this and he’s just going after his favorite treats. WHO KNOWS!

Let’s see what he did this week:

I give up. I don’t even know what you are doing any more, Gulliver.
