Your Lazy, Post-Xmas Football-Rich Open Thread

/takes hand-off from Hippo, wipes pill dust from the ball

Hey, welcome back! It really is a dreary day here as well. With the temps so mild our back roads in the boonies are an intermittent series of skating rinks. But I did my wee errands and now it’s time to hunker down and watch so much ball my eyes bleed.

To The Games!

Miami (Ohio)/Colorado State:

Ah, it’s that other school out west vs the team that has to differentiate itself from the more prominent football program. That Miami always confused the hell out of me when I watched the Central Michigan basketball Chippewas on a PBS channel back in high school. Neither of these teams are ranked and Snoop Dogg is the host.

East Carolina/N.C. State:

The O/U on this tilt is a beastly 59.5! I’m guessing that these defenses can’t defense. That or they have high-powered offenses. I’ll choose the flaw over the more optimistic opinion.

BYU/Colorado:

Ladies and gentlemen, your new starting QB for the NY Giants Shedeur “Two Sheds” Sanders! He’ll provide a wonderful transition from Dimes in that he’s been sacked up the ying-yang just like Jones was in college and it’ll continue into the pros.

Louisiana Tech/Army:

One of the other armed services gets the spotlight. (such as it is when the pros are playing at the same time)

Broncos/Bengals:

Is Cincy’s D going to show up? Why would they this late in the season? Rookie Nix hasn’t thrown an INT in six of his last 9 games and no one fears that secondary. His counterpart would be in the MVP chatter if only his team had a better record. This has the feel of a high-flying game.

Cards/Rams:

Who’da thunk that Arizonny would fade down the stretch except for everyone?

Enjoy the offerings.
