Never forget.
Unless you are trying to forget last week or the defense attempting to tackle. Feel free to shove that way the hell out of your minds (I’ve found booze helps). It’s for your own sanity.
Anyways, the prediction form, the spread, total, and all the rules are below as usual. You can find all bonus points, positive or otherwise, from last week below that followed by standings, staff picks, and cat picks (bastard got it right last week and I hate him for it).
Bonus Points
I gotta level with you, our loyal readers here. This week was bad. Y’all came in with an astounding load of optimism that the Spartans absolutely destroyed. I feel bad for y’all. Only our staff picked against ND and sadly had very accurate predictions.
Brian VanGorder will be discussed in less-than-glowing terms in the aftermath. – Irish Elvis
Before, during, after, still. Ugh. +1
Corey Holmes doubles his lifetime career catch total…in just one game! – andrewwinn
So, I’m not sure if you’ve notice, but Jude’s been on Corey Holmes watch since Nevada. Catches that game: 1. Catches against Sparty: 1. Total: 2. 1 * 2 = 2. He’s not wrong y’all. Let the Corey Holmes watch begin. +1
Hall of Shame
No late entries this week, but two predictions deserved to be called out. Don’t worry, I’m only going to lash out at our staff.
“A rolling reversal would work well in that situation.”
“If I reversed in a hard-cross, I could immediately go long on him.”
“At that speed, Tommy, it’s too fast… It’s a little bit too aggressive.”
“Too aggressive… I guess when I see something I want, I go right after it.”
That’s why we call him Maverick. That’s why flags fall when he takes the field. Today, Kizer is our Maverick. – Bayou Irish
Crashed and burned, huh, Mav? -1
The bottom line for me: I can’t see how a team that struggled against FURMAN manages to keep up with the Irish offense on the road. I don’t care if they had a bye. I don’t care if the games are usually close, I’m taking this small spread and running all the way to the damn bank with it.
Here’s to St. Brown becoming our new patron Saint of band diving. – ndtex
Don’t listen to this dumbass. What’s next–a podcast in which he voices these terrible opinions? -1
