Week 2 Thread

[Dawg83]

State at Minnesota in a massive game for State. I’ve seen the spread in both teams’ favor within a point or two, so it’s basically a pick em. Major contrast of styles here. State wants to open it up and let their athletes run wild on offense. Minnesota wants to play sound defense, hold onto the ball, and force State to make mistakes. Minnesota’s strength appears to be at the LOS, so we will find out just how much improvement State made on both sides of the line. Big moment for Kamario too, first true road start and it’s  against a team that’s been good at home.

 

I feel like there’s such a fine line with this game for State. Win and there’s a lot of optimism moving forward. Lose and I think a lot of people will be ready to assume Lebby won’t make it to next season. I think this is a tight game but I like State’s chances here. I think they can turn it into enough of a track meet that Minnesota can’t quite keep up in. have State taking this one 31-24.

 

Ohio State at Texas - massive game Saturday night in Austin. Big moment for Arch Manning. But I have a little bit more confidence in the Buckeyes here. Ohio State takes it.

 

Oklahoma at Michigan - I have OU rolling in this one.

 

Arizona State at Texas A&M - maybe a crazy pick here, but I have the Sun Devils stealing one on the road here. Call me an A&M skeptic I guess.

 

Bama at Kentucky - dangerous game here for Bama, Lexington has turned into a weird place to play in the last decade. I’ll pick Bama but I think it’s close.

 

There are other interesting games too that we can discuss as well…. Ole Miss vs Charlotte isn’t one of them. The calm before the storm on September 19.
