Week 1 Predictions 2018

This week Andrew, Artem, Logan, and Tommy (in spirit) discuss some of the games in the week 1 college football season.

 

Intro: We pay brief homage to Clint Dempsey as he retired yesterday.

 

2:15 We talk about the Zach Smith controversies (since we may have lost the audio data from our ontrovery episode). Zah Smith did not abuse his wife (according to Zach Smith) but will not comment on sleeping with his secretary, ordering dildos to Ohio State stadium, or masturbating in the white house bathroom.

 

9:30 We discuss what we're most looking forward to this season, including teams and games we're excited to see.

 

17:45 NW @ Purdue: Purdue hasn't beathen NorthWestern since 2010. NorthWestern has a great QB prospect but with injuries for NW and a surgin Purdue program will this be the year Purdue breaks their losing streak?

 

21:00 Wake Forest @ Tulane: Tulane is a struggling program. Will a homefield advantage give them the edge over a young Wake Forest team?

 

24:25 Syracuse @ Western Michigan: Tim Lester (the WMU head coach) has a long history with Syracuse from his days as an Offensive Coordinator. Can Tim's experience overcome Syracuse and their talented QB Eric Dungey?

 

28:41 Army @ Duke: Duke has a stout defense which showed it can stop the veer offense against GT last year. Can Army overcome this defense and stop Duke's offense?

 

31:31 SDSU @ Stanford: Stanford is a 15.5 point favorite over a team they lost to last year in San Diego State University. Will this game be closer than the experts think? Also Andrew gives us information on the history of Wake Forest University... while we're talking about Stanford.

 

35:15 Colorado v Colorado State: Was Colorado State's performance last week against Hawaii, representative of how they will perform in this game? Also Andrew doesn't know how to gamble.

 

39:30 Texas v Maryland: Maryland has alot of off the field issues. Can Maryland overcome these issues and compete against a talented Texas team?

 

44:45 Ole Miss v Texas Tech:Are Landsharks better than Tortillas?

 

47:40 Washington v Auburn: Tommy makes some poignant arguments in a game no one else wants to pick because we have no idea what to make of Auburn.

 

52:45 Tennessee v West Virginia: do any of us really expect WVU to lose this game after seeing how UT played last year?

 

54:35 North Carolina @ Cal: UNC has one of the weirdest set of opening games in all of college football as they go to the west coast to face down Cal.

 

56:53 Michigan @ Notre Dame: The highlight matchup this week. Which team will boost their playoff chances by winning this matchup?

 

01:01:30 Bama v Louisville: Why do people talk shit before playing Bama?

 

01:05:00 BYU @ Arizona: Can BYU snap their losing streak?

 

01:08:00 Navy @ Hawaii: Can Hawaii keep the upsets going over a tough Navy team? Also we discuss how coach Kenny is coming back home.

 

01:12:20 Miami v. LSU: Can Miami get the turnover chain going against LSU?

 

01:15:05 VT @ FSU: Will we see much offense in this game?

 

01:19:10 We make our personal picks and Andrew spikes the Microphone.
