ITS AN OPEN THREAD
I was even for week 3, so one down, $900/1000 thus far. My Alma Mater and The Vols broke my heart last week. Here we go:
4 Florida State @ Clemson 12:00 PM. Clemson is not rated, but they are at home in Death Valley, one of the loudest venues in all of sport. It’s on my bucket list to see. The Noles aren’t getting much respect tho, they are only 2 point favorites. I think they can cover.
15 Ole Miss @ 13 Alabama 3:30 PM. That’s right, ‘Bama has a loss and isn’t in the top 10. The press is questioning Nick Saban…yeah…don’t. ‘Bama is a 6 point favorite and covers. Don’t back Saban into a corner, ever.
19 Colorado @ 10 Oregon 3:30 PM. Coach Prime Time takes his flying circus west to the perpetually over-rated Oregon Ducks. This is it, Coach Prime, welcome to the big time! This ain’t Jackson State any more. No one is giving the Buffs a chance, they are 21 point dogs on the road. Colorado has no defense but has an incredible offense. The Ducks have QB Bo Nix. 21 points? Hell, if Colorado covers its a moral victory. If they win? Well, miracles can happen. 21 points…Jeeze…I want them to cover. But. Bet with your mind, not your heart. The Buffs don’t cover. Betting against Coach Prime just seems wrong.
6 Ohio State @ 9 Notre Dame 7:30 PM. The Buckeyes travel to play in front of Touchdown Jesus. ND hasn’t won a championship since they built stands in front of Jesus’s lower half. Coincidence? Nope. OSU will choke later in the season but not today and they cover the 3 point spread. Tear down those stands and you’ll win again, ND.
Rugby World Cup
Last week had no surprises EXCEPT, Fiji beat Australia….oh my! And the Italians are 2-0! South Africa plays #1 rated Ireland at 1500 EST Saturday. Ireland has looked flat and South Africa are always tough. The rest of the matches should be as expected for the top 5. All of the action is on Peacock Network.
SUNDAY! it’s the Caribbean Professional League final on the Willow app. As of now, I have no idea who is in. They are doing the playoffs now.
F1 is in Japan and it’s on at 0100 Sunday AM. I’ll be getting home from work at midnight, we pre-ordered a ton of Sushi to be picked up by Mrs Coldwarrior at 2300 Saturday night, saki and Sapporo’s are also on order.
Have a great weekend!
