It’s an Open…

This season has been insane, insane in a great way! This weekend is Championship Week to decide the 4 teams going to the Playoffs and it starts Friday Night with the Pac-10 Championship. Therefore, This went up Friday at noon. Mrs Coldwarrior and I are headed to get our favorite hamburgers at this place. Then off to the sister establishment, our favorite bar in the whole wide world.

It’s Clemson, Auburn, Oklahoma and Wisconsin (the ONLY undefeated team) in the final 4.

Friday Night’s game:

#12 Stanford

#10 USC

8:00 PM

PAC10 Final: The Stanford Cardinal (you bet your sweet ass I am!) are 4 point dogs in Reno at USC for this neutral site game. Had USC not had their entire offensive line injured they would be playing for the National Championship. USC’s QB Sam Darnold will be playing for a long time on Sundays and they will cover this spread.

The Games on Saturday:

#11 TCU

#3 Oklahoma

12:30 PM

Big 12 Final: Its the Horned Frog’s pass defense against the juggernaut that is Oklahoma’s high powered offense in the Big-12’s Final. QB Baker Mayfield will also be playing for a ling time on Sundays. Oklahoma is favored by a touchdown on all of the betting boards.Oklahoma needs to win to stay in the playoffs and they beat this spread late.

#6 Georgia

#2 Auburn

4:00 PM

SEC Final: Auburn came out of nowhere this year and beat ‘Bama last week in the Iron Bowl.They win and they stay in. If UGA pulls off a win here all hell is going to break lose for playoff spots. ‘Bama is #5 after the loss to Auburn and are one place out of the picture for now. UGA, ‘BAMA. and Auburn all have the same conference record. This is going to get very interesting. Auburn are a 2 point favorite in this game. Georgia lost big a few weeks ago to Auburn on the road. I just don’t see them losing twice. I’m taking UGA with the upset but will be rooting for Auburn as I know 3 Auburn grads and no UGA grads.

#7 Miami

#1 Clemson

8:00 PM

ACC Final: Miami lost last week to my beloved PITT Panthers. That was the PITT QB Freshman in his first ever NCAA game who sliced up Miami’s defense. They are vulnerable as their lack of strength of schedule shows. Clemson is a 9 point favorite in this game, a further reflection of Miami’s weak schedule. Clemson wins, but does not cover.

#8 Ohio State

#4 Wisconsin

8:00 PM

Big10 Final: Ohio State got blown out twice this year against quality opponents while Wisconsin remains undefeated but mostly untested hence the reason that OSU is a 6 point favorite in this game. OSU is overrated again this year. Frankly, neither of these two teams deserve to be in the playoffs. OSU wins outright and no one from the Big 10 makes the playoffs.

NASCAR Week (-)1. (ahandnflwake12) Go Martin Go!

NASCAR crowned a brand-new first-time champion last week at Homestead. Martin Truex Jr. Martin had an outstanding year this year in NASCAR and even with the points reshuffling managed to pull off the championship win. Martin’s sponsor changed this year – he now is the Furniture Row car. He used to be the Bass Pro Shops car. I have to say I’m happy to see the end of the Jimmie Johnson string of championships – we’ve had a new one every year for the last five or six years.

In other NASCAR news, Danica Patrick announced her “retirement” from NASCAR. Sorry, bikini girl, you brought nothing to the sport, and you didn’t merit the ride you had. Liberals will miss you; hard-core race fans are happy that the tracks are once again safe for their drivers.

All I have to say about the NFL this week – and I’m going to be worse than smarty here – I’m going to be downright mean. I want to see Marshawn Lynch get a career-ending non-serious injury soon – preferably at the hands of a huge defensive player with a brother or sister serving in Afghanistan. You can exit stage left any time, “Beast.” Not even the fact that you played for my alma mater can make me wish you well at this point, you grandstanding a-hole.

Playing on Sunday
Buccaneers @ Falcons
Browns @ Bengals
Titans @ Colts
Bills @ Chiefs
Dolphins @ Patriots
Panthers @ Jets
Bears @ Eagles
Seahawks @ 49ers
Saints @ Rams
Jaguars @ Cardinals
Broncos @ East Bay Social Justice Warriors
Packers @ Steelers

Playing on Monday
Texans @ Ravens

In the NHL, three good matches I think. And thank you all for explaining icing and the blue line. I think I have it!

Nashville @ Carolina
Vancouver @ NY Rangers
Edmonton @ Boston (on the NHL network!)

In the PGA, it appears the tour will be staying in and watching hockey and recovering from the after affects of L-Tryptophan.

In the NBA, someone tell LeVar Ball to stick an effing sock in it. Next time Trump can leave your little criminal to rot in China and then you can get your pals Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton to get him out. And considering the Chinese have a mindset – “what can you do for US” and the poverty pimps’ collective answer would be “nothing”, the only TV coverage you’d get would be them getting kicked OUT of the country that your thieving dirtbag offspring stayed IN.

NCAA D1 College Football Week 13 Open 2017

Got some very important games, this is Rivalry Week!

It’s Alabama, NOT MIAMI!!!, Clemson, and Oklahoma in the top 4, The undefeated Wisconsin Badgers are still paying for their weak schedule at #5. And of course, miami is ranked #12 in the power rankings but for some reason, their easy schedule thus far has them somehow at #2. They must have some super-delegates or something. Or something indeed, The University of Pittsburgh defeated them at home n Friday Afternoon! The overrated ‘Canes show their true colors.

#9 Ohio State

Michigan

12:00 PM

By now, I thought the Harbaugh powered Michigan team would be contesting for the national championship. Nope, not yet. Ohio State is a 12 point favorite in this storied rivalry. Things don’t look too good for M. They don’t beat the spread.

#1 Alabama

#6 Auburn

3:30 PM

This is WAR in Alabama, bigger than the fight over Roy Moore and bigger than it has been in years. It’s the Iron Bowl! Auburn is a really good team and ‘Bama is, well, The Borg. This game is so good when both teams are fighting for the playoffs. ‘Bama is ONLY a 4.5 favorite at Jordan-Hare in Auburn. If I were betting with real money I would go nowhere near this game. I would love to see Auburn win this, but…They wont. ‘Bama beats the spread.

#8 Notre Dame

#21 Stanford

8:00 PM

Despite what the detractors say, the student athletes at these two schools are smart, both schools have tough academic standards and deliver an excellent education to these players. I call this the Genius Bowl. The Golden Domers are 3 point favorites in this one at Stanford. ND burns me every time, so, they beat the spread on the road.

#3 Clemson

#24 South Carolina

7:30 PM

The Gamecocks are surprisingly good this year. This is easily an upset because Clemson has Miami next week and they could be looking past this game. Clemson is a two touchdown favorite in Atlantic City. They don’t beat the spread, but look out for an upset here.
