Did you miss the Premiership last weekend?  Of course you did.  Even with NFL back on the schedule, one needs sommet to do with one’s mornings.

Obviously, sleeping in is much preferred to the filthy Redshite beating up on Wolves (7:30, USA).  But some of y’all heathens will watch anyway.

10:00 window is way too crowded, but two fixtures stand out.  Fortunately, USA is showing the best one – Rum Ham hosting CIty of Men.  Squint hard enough, and you could make yourself believe that the contrast of styles, along with Mikael Antonio’s pace and power…just might make this a tricky matchup.  Also from the Footy Manager-verse, I always struggle with my Pretend City of Men coming back off the international break tired and/or off-kilter.

But if it is a romp, you can always stream Men Untied home (in their aflame dumpster) to Brighton.  How real are these Trashbirds?  This will be a good testing ground for whatever one’s hypothesis.

Also a “no thanks, I’ll pass” on a Spotlight ball washing (Bonesaws hosting Praise Beesus, 12:30, NBC).  I mean, the JV is pretty hot and heavy anyway.

Only two on Sunday, but at least both on USA.  Cherries host Chelski in a “Desperate Housewives” matchup (9:00), followed by Arsenal kicking Everton’s teeth in (11:30).  I’d be mad about this bleeding into RedZone hour, but I have an inkling that the respite will be quite welcome.  Handsome Mikel has them cooking with (very handsome) gas.

Robins Hood also host Boo-urnley (3:00, USA) for Monday Night Footy.  Meh, could always do worse.  At least teams we aren’t sick of watching.

LSU (-9.5) at Mississippi State (Noon, ESPN)

Well, looky-loo, it really does mean MOAR this weekend.  At least in the early window.  As the Mississippi schools are really the only SEC (PAAAWWWWLLLL) sides not to have underwhelmed (or worse) this September, I really don’t get this number.  Home underdogs, sure.  I get that LSU has all the talent in the world.  But over a full TD?  Starkville is a tough place to play, even without the national spotlight/Dread Pirate Leach factoUrs.  This is worth a Moneyline punt, for sure.  True tossup game, or close enough.

Kansas State (-4) at Missouri (Noon, SECN)

Finally, a cross-sectional matchup worth watching.  Humanity needs somebody to step up and prevent a 2nd Red River SHOOTOUT in the Big Twaaaaaalve title match, and the likeliest suspect remains the Unded Bill Snyders.  Mizzou is just one of those true weirdo teams, where you never know what you’ll get.  Aside from their Thicc Kicker, anyway.

South Cakalaky (+27.5) at Georgia (3:30, CBS)

This game highlighted solely because the window is so shit.  The Chickens have been horrid so far, and a trip Between the Hedges ain’t likely to cure what ails ’em.  Quartered back might still be the Dawgs’ limiting reagent, but we might not have confirmation until December.

San Diego State (+24.5) at Oregon State (3:30, FS1)

When in doubt, go with the best cheerleader matchup.  I also have a soft spot for Niiiiiiiiice Beaver and yes, we are still doing PHRASING!

Washington (-16.5) at Michigan State (5:00, Peacock)

Come for the staggered time window/alternate screen, stay for the awkward “Tuck Comin'” allusions!
