Iron Bowl (ALA 39-33-1) Alabama 23 @ Auburn 17 – In traditional with Black Friday the main course will be served before all the appetizers today. Auburn will be able to move the ball, but the Tide defense will prove too tough and Mark Ingram too consistent.

Virginia Tech @ Maryland – If you’re looking for a preview of the game you won’t find that here. If those are things of interest to you then check out Gobbler Country’s What to Watch or Testudo Times. The only thing that matters in this fashion show game is that the Hokies win so I win a blogger bet with our friends at Girls Don’t Know Sports. The winner of said bet gets to defile the other’s banner atop their blog which will remain in place for a week. Please don’t fuck this up Hokies.

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.

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.

Cincinnati 30 @ South Florida 21 – I’m taking Cinci because of Tony Pike, Tony Pike and Tony Pike. He’s been a machine and the Bearcats have won on the road in a tougher venue (Corvallis, Oregon [St]). I’ll be focused on the play of B.J. Daniels and how he responds playing in his first major home game. The boys in green over at Sparty like Cinci too.

Oklahoma 38 versus Texas 31 – I haven’t been impressed with Texas lallygagging against Wyoming, Texas Tech and Colorado. I have a man-crush on Sam Bradford; respect the golf skills. On the outside (and I stress outside) chance VT runs the table we’ll need helping getting to the MNC and a Sooner win would be just that. So my pick is based 25% with my head and 100%heart, because I’M ALL HEART BABY. And for shits and grins: know your rivalry.

Jesus in the house. What? What?

Nebraska 23 at Mizzou 21 – Let’s get frisky! Corn Nation and Rock M Nation are betting taglines on the outcome. Orson has this bitch factored and it’s not not looking good for the Huskers or, well, maybe it is… I like Nebraska because I saw man-child Roy Helu Jr. conquer the souls of eleven Virginia Tech defenders almost three weeks ago.

Auburn 38 at Arkansas 31 – It’s goin’ be a shootout in Fayetteville. I give the edge to Auburn because they can put up points, and they’ll play better defense.

Michigan 30 @ Little Brother 28 – The Wolverines are a little dinged up and on the road, but they’ve done one thing Sparty hasn’t, figured out how to win games.

LSU 16 @ Georgia 28 – I wouldn’t be totally surprised if LSU blew past Georgia like a freight train. With The Hat as the conductor anything is possible. I feel more comfortable picking Georgia, because they’ve won close games and they’re home (even though statistically they’re better on the road).

Florida State 24 @ Boston College 17 – GameDay is going to be there (check out the answers to the last question for opinions), but in the end FSU comes out as Jekyll, or is it Hyde, and gets a must have win.

Georgia Tech 27 @ Mississippi State 17 – Mullen has the Bulldogs playing tough, but the Yellow Jackets finally imposes their will on someone. (Know the Bulldogs | Yellow Jackets)

USC 45 @ Cal 28 – If Oregon was able to contain Jahvid Best, then so will USC.

Oklahoma 24 @ Miami 31 – I always knew Miami fans gave burning toys as gifts for Christmas.

Someone other than Jesus is 16-11 (59%) 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.

Hello, I hate you.

Everything is more complicated than you think. You only see a tenth of what is true.
You see a team that is 4-0 against a team that is 1-3.
You see a ranked team apparently on the verge of some great season.
You see a team that is disappointingly staring their entire season in the eye in only week 5.

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.

Jesus is joining the open thread tonight, mostly because real life interfered and I couldn’t get two separate posts together. Maybe this will become a trend.

Mississippi 27 @ South Carolina 13 – Colonel Reb versus The Cocks, only one dick can survive. Thoughts?

South Florida 20 @ Florida State 31 – Expect to see some flashes of brilliance from B.J. Daniels, but not nearly enough to overcome FSU.

California 41 @ Oregon 35 – “Never bet against Jahvid Best”, The Great Barstoolio. This game could propel him atop of the Heisman list.

Miami 31 @ Virginia Tech 20 – GatorTrey likes Miami to pull ahead late, I think they’ll be in control the entire game. Fuck.

Illinois 21 @ tOSU 42 – Can Juice lead the Zookers to victory, again? Will the Illinois defense step their game up if he puts up points?

Iowa 17 @ Penn State 27 – Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Someone other than Jesus is 15-6 (71%) 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.

Georgia Tech 17 @ Miami 21

Boise State 20 @ Fresno State 23

Florida State 17 @ BYU 16
