No Thursday games, because, NFL.

Games tonight are trash.

Week 2 is upon us. Tonight at 7:30, we have Northwestern taking on some team and Maryland hosting Northern Illinois. Both are on BTN.

Pretty full slate tomorrow too.

A little light on compelling games, but that is true as a whole, even nationally.

Michigan and Iowa face tough tests, and possibly Michigan State too.

I had typed this in last week's SoC before this one was created but it belongs here:

Oh my this is a weak slate:

#15 Michigan at #18 Oklahoma is the ONLY ranked-vs-ranked game of the entire weekend and most of the top-25 are favored by a LOT:

  • Ohio State, no spread due to playing FCS Grambling
  • Penn State -42.5 vs FI(not A)U
  • LSU -36.5 vs LaTech
  • Georgia, no spread due to playing FCS Austin Peay
  • Miami, no spread due to playing FCS Bethune-Cookman
  • Oregon -27.5 vs OkSU
  • Texas -36.5 vs SJSU
  • Clemson -31.5 vs Troy
  • Notre Dame off
  • USCe, no spread due to playing FCS SCST
  • Illinois -2.5 at Dook
  • ASU -6.5 vs MissSt
  • Florida -17.5 vs USF
  • Florida State, no spread due to playing FCS Directional aTm
  • Michigan +5.5 at #18 Oklahoma
  • Iowa State -3.5 vs Iowa
  • SMU -2.5 vs Baylor
  • Oklahoma -5.5 vs #15 Michigan
  • aTm -32.5 vs Utah State
  • Ole Miss -8.5 vs Kentucky
  • Bama -34.5 vs UL-Monroe
  • Tennessee, no spread due to playing FCS Directional Tennessee St
  • Indiana -35.5 vs Kennesaw State
  • TxTech -48.5 vs Kent
  • Utah, no spread due to playing FCS Cal Poly

Interesting that the B1G is involved in nearly all of the decent games this weekend.  M/OU and IA/ISU are the headliners but IL/Dook is decent.  The only other single-digit point spreads for top-25 teams are ASU/MissSt, SMU/Baylor, and Ole Miss / Kentucky.

Mrs. 847 wants to go boating tomorrow, so we'll do that and then watch the Badgers at 3:30. No cooking tomorrow as we'll eat lunch out on the water somewhere while also catching some of the early games.

Then the next day she wants to hit the clubhouse and watch NFL Sunday. Fine by me. I'll just drink my way through it. It's a good atmosphere and they have good food and drink specials, on top of the 15 percent off we get as members. We always see friends there.

Playing BC, so I might make a chowder.  Certainly won't be clam.  Thinking maybe just a simple potato.  The bigger question is whether I can convince my wife to bake us some sourdough bread bowls
