Divine Predictions. Thursday Night Open Thread with Jesus.

This is our new Thursday night thread. We hope YOU our readers and friends in the blogosphere pop your heads in and engage in a little conversation.

divine Divine Predictions – Week 4

This is a weekend of under cards, but let’s take a look at the inner beauty.

Florida State 28 @ North Carolina 26 – To date this is the least exciting Thursday night game of the season. FSU is fighting for bowl eligibility and North Carolina needs a big win at home to feed their fan base. The ‘Noles have proven they can put up points while North Carolina has struggled  to find their groove. FSU’s defense has been suspect, but is good enough to hold the Heels in check.

South Florida 13 @ Pittsburgh 20 – Don’t punch me in the balls Wanstache.

Georgia Tech 27 @ Virginia 17 – From here on out, for obvious reasons, I’ll have my eye on Georgia Tech. For those who turn a blind eye to ACC football, Virginia Tech needs our engineering brethren in the Dirty to lose so we control our own destiny in the ACC again. The Jackets haven’t won in Charlottesville since 1990, but unfortunately their offense will be too much for the Cavs to handle. They’ll grind out the clock and UVA will waste half of their precious possessions.

Boston College 27 @ Notre Dame 30 – Brian and Jeff took some time away from knitting new tights for dance class to take a look at the history between the Eagles and Irish. The Eagles are riding a six game winning streak into South Bend, but we’re picking the Irish because Boston College has been outscored 21-73 on the road this year. The winner will receive representation in the Jesus graphic above. Current Jesus Cup standings have been provided for your convenience.

Jesus Cup Standings
Team Wins Losses
TCU 6 0
BYU 6 1
Boston College 5 2
Notre Dame 4 2
SMU 3 3

Penn St 20 @ Michigan 21 – Here’s an excellent By The Numbers preview. Maggs should have more on this game tomorrow. If not I’ll Photoshop him three donkeys and a clown all riding a merry-go-round together.

Tennessee 14 @ Alabama 30 – If you want to know any more about this game please direct your attention to 3rd Saturday in Blogtober.

TCU 27 @ BYU 21 – This is the only fucking game featuring two top 25 teams and it is on, wait for it… Versus. Spettacolare! This statement will show my east coast bias, but when checking out Vanquish The Foe I was surprised to see just how much talent BYU has been stockpiling. It still blows my mind that they were able beat Oklahoma, yet lost to FSU at home. Meanwhile TCU has won on the road at Clemson and Virginia. This will be a tight game and I like the Frogs’ offense against a just better than average BYU defense.

Texas 35 @ Mizzou 20 – Because at some point Colt McCoy has to have a breakout game, right?

Someone other than Jesus is 30-18 (62.5%) on the year. These picks are only here to prove my omnipotence and are not be used as the basis for any actual cash wager. Jesus doesn’t endorse gambling.

  2. 2beercontrol on Oct 22, 2009 at 7:05 pm:

    i sorta like the unc alt unis.

  3. 3cgb on Oct 22, 2009 at 7:05 pm:

    Ahh The Bachelor making the rest of ESPN talking heads sounds like geniuses since 2006(?), “Christian Ponder could be the best quarterback in the country and no one is talking about him.”

  4. 4GatorTrey on Oct 22, 2009 at 7:16 pm:

    Keep hating on Jesse, name the Tech broadcaster please

  5. 5cgb on Oct 22, 2009 at 7:17 pm:

    Holy fucking catch by Greg Little.

  6. 6beercontrol on Oct 22, 2009 at 7:17 pm:

    f$u …. makes everyone look like all americans. why aren’t we on the sched? i think i missed this pick.

    yankee game is over already too.

  7. 7GatorTrey on Oct 22, 2009 at 7:18 pm:

    The Bowden farwell tour starts with it’s usual number

  8. 8GatorTrey on Oct 22, 2009 at 7:18 pm:

    Got two TVs going…yanks on the big screen

  9. 9beercontrol on Oct 22, 2009 at 7:19 pm:

    so GatorTrey … you agree Ponder is the best qb in the country?

  10. 10GatorTrey on Oct 22, 2009 at 7:23 pm:

    No…but he could be…if

    Jimmy Clausen, Tim Tebow, Colt McCoy, Ryan Mallet, Case Keenum, Tony Pike, and maybe Matt Barkley all suffered horrific deaths this evening

  11. 11cgb on Oct 22, 2009 at 7:25 pm:

    Perhaps picking FSU was a poor decision on my part.

  12. 12cgb on Oct 22, 2009 at 7:27 pm:

    So GatorTrey how much money did the Florida boosters club raise to pay off the officials last week?

  13. 13GatorTrey on Oct 22, 2009 at 7:29 pm:

    Whatever it was…whew…my balls were sweaty!

  14. 14Tomas Verde on Oct 22, 2009 at 7:30 pm:

    Roughly the same amount that LSU paid the same officials against Georgia… but slightly more, you know, because we are better than LSU in all facets of life.

  15. 15beercontrol on Oct 22, 2009 at 7:30 pm:

    lol. barkley isn’t elite, yet. next year, not this.

  16. 16cgb on Oct 22, 2009 at 7:32 pm:

    Florida minus 2007 > LSU

  17. 17Tomas Verde on Oct 22, 2009 at 7:37 pm:

    UF should’ve won that game. Screw Jacob Hester, and Les Miles for having balls for brains.
    /still bitter about that loss

  18. 18GatorTrey on Oct 22, 2009 at 7:41 pm:

    Tomas, I got a sticker in Baton Rouge that said “lesticles”

  19. 19GatorTrey on Oct 22, 2009 at 7:45 pm:

    Fsu blows

  20. 20cgb on Oct 22, 2009 at 7:53 pm:

    I just got done making the most delicious eggs ever. The key is pig fats.

  21. 21Tomas Verde on Oct 22, 2009 at 8:03 pm:

    so, the key is… bacon?
    /bacon is the key to everything.

  22. 22cgb on Oct 22, 2009 at 8:08 pm:

    so, the key is… bacon?
    /bacon is the key to everything.

    Bacon + sausage == awesome eggs. Bacon also can make for some highly pleasurable love making, especially when it is sizzling.

  23. 23Geaux Hokies on Oct 22, 2009 at 8:41 pm:

    Doesn’t the Jesus Cup also get Duke and Baylor?

  24. 24cgb on Oct 22, 2009 at 8:50 pm:

    @Geaux Hokies I don’t know are they religiously affiliated?

  25. 25BCO on Oct 22, 2009 at 8:53 pm:

    Christ … it’s over. there are 70+ d1 teams better than them. damn.

  26. 26cbh49er on Oct 22, 2009 at 9:07 pm:

    Trey, is my computer broken or has S and F not updated in 5 hours?

  27. 27cgb on Oct 22, 2009 at 9:10 pm:

    @cbh49er I think y’all are slacking.

  28. 28cgb on Oct 22, 2009 at 9:23 pm:

    “They are 2-4 and people do look at losses”, Bachelor.

  29. 29BCO on Oct 22, 2009 at 9:26 pm:

    the bachelor likes to hear himself talk too much. that is fine for studio but not so great for booth.

    going back to the yankee game, at least it’s entertaining.

  30. 30BCO on Oct 22, 2009 at 9:36 pm:

    damn … we gotta ball game, 2 of them.

  31. 31cgb on Oct 22, 2009 at 9:39 pm:

    Butchy is going nuts trying to get the two point conversion challenged.

  32. 32GatorTrey on Oct 22, 2009 at 9:52 pm:

    Cbh, it hasn’t updated. Prolly cause sparty is shitting himself

  33. 33cgb on Oct 22, 2009 at 10:23 pm:

    And somehow FSU has come back to take a 30-27 lead. ‘Noles defense should embarrassed with how bad they’ve played all year.

  34. 34beercontrol on Oct 22, 2009 at 10:35 pm:

    wow, somehow my f$u pick won. that’s why you play 60 mins. crushing lost for pansy blue.

  35. 35macdad on Oct 23, 2009 at 7:37 am:

    If I go all the way out to Ann Arbor and PSU loses by to 1 am gonna flip shit and murder several michiganders.

  36. 36Simon on Oct 23, 2009 at 7:45 am:

    You pick Michigan a lot…

  37. 37cgb on Oct 23, 2009 at 9:56 am:

    Their offense is actually effective/competent now. The rest of the Big Ten is just so mediocre so why not pick Michigan?

  38. 38macdad on Oct 26, 2009 at 9:09 am:

    because they got owned by 25.
