Slippery Rock (+21.5) at Ferris State- Unlike other teams, Ferris State is a bully that will relish in running up the score if they can.

If our backups are lucky enough to get in, I'll make sure to tell them take a knee on all 4 downs on offense and on defense they can cover their facemasks and count to 3 before they actually start playing.

[ctrabs74]

Slippery Rock (+21.5) at Ferris State: After the way the Ferris Wheels whooped up on the defending national champions, the Fighting Slippys are going to be in for a long day in West-ish Meatchicken as the best team in the Whole State of Meatchicken easily punches their tickets to McKinney

Minnesota State (+10.5) at Valdosta State: Minny's Odor State at Manktao's dream season comes to an end in a city where football dreams die a painful death

Navy (+5.5) vs. Army: Army is fresh off winning a conference title... Enough said

Buffalo Bills (+2.5) at Detroit Lions: The Lions are the most complete team in the NFL... Never thought I'd say that in my lifetime, but they've found ways to win all season long. I don't know that I trust the Willies all that much (did you see the Buffalo (ahem) defense against the LAmbs yesterday?)

Pittsburgh Steelers (+4.5) at Philadelphia Eagles: Hidden beneath their nine game winning streak, Da Iggles got a QB problem (at least according to their WR1)... This might be a defensive slogfest unless Russ cooks something up (and I trust him more than I trust the former Okie under center in Philly)... either way, the Stillers win the Pennsylvania state championship in enemy territory after the Stillers defense stymies Saquon Barkley the way they stymied Derrick Henry and the Baltimorons

* Bonus *

(1) Combined points scored, Navy vs Army, over or under 40.5 Under

(2) Of all the games listed, this game will have the lowest combined points scored: Stillers-Iggles (though not by much over Army-Navy)

[TheBigCat2192]

Slippery Rock (+21.5) at Ferris State - Ferris State has beaten two other top-10 quality teams by 5+ scores. I would be shocked if SRU scores more than 6 points and think there’s a decent chance they don’t make it into the red zone til deep into garbage time.

Minnesota State (+10.5) at Valdosta State

Navy (+5.5) vs. Army

Buffalo Bills (+2.5) at Detroit Lions

Pittsburgh Steelers (+4.5) at Philadelphia Eagles


* Bonus *

(1) Combined points scored, Navy vs Army, over or under

(2) Of all the games listed, this game will have the lowest combined points scored: Steelers at Eagles

[Ram040506]

Bless your heart!

Slippery Rock (+21.5) at Ferris State After drubbing KUBs Dr. Freeze and the walkon boom squad deliver hot meals causing petulant scoreboard messages

Minnesota State (+10.5) at Valdosta State Win or go home

Navy (+5.5) vs. Army Not sure if I will get out the bingo card this year. If they showed the 2017 game how long til someone noticed?

Buffalo Bills (+2.5) at Detroit Lions I hate teams who stink on ice for decades, get good, and act like they were good all along

[EastStroud13]

Slippery Rock (+21.5) at Ferris State - The big fish will win by 5 touchdowns, and everyone will get a nice pat on the back.

Minnesota State (+10.5) at Valdosta State - Marginally more interesting than the other semifinal.

Navy (+5.5) vs. Army - On the one hand, you can usually throw out the records. On the other hand, I do expect Army to win by a touchdown.

Buffalo Bills (+2.5) at Detroit Lions - Upset special.

Pittsburgh Steelers (+4.5) at Philadelphia Eagles - A close defensive struggle, until Saquon takes over late.


* Bonus *

(1) Combined points scored, Navy vs Army, over or under 40.5 UNDER - These defenses know how to stop each other.

[IUPNation]

My picks in bold


Slippery Rock (+21.5) at Ferris State - This game is already over. This will conclude the 2024 Pee Sack season.

Minnesota State (+10.5) at Valdosta State - VSU's biggest supporter...BlazerLady...passed away very suddenly in May. She was also a faculty member and she had just retired...then proceeded to die. I'm not religious at all...but I no doubt think her spirit is one reason they are having a big year. I was friends with her on Facebook as well. We were total opposites politically but she was a good person. I'm kinda hoping they win it all.

Navy (+5.5) vs. Army - This game needs to be moved to the week before Conference Championship Weekend. Play as the only night game. It's silly to have it after title game and week before playoffs. Also...it should be in Philadelphia every year.

Buffalo Bills (+2.5) at Detroit Lions - Was leaning Bills at first...but with the Lions at home it will be a 6 point win.

Pittsburgh Steelers (+4.5) at Philadelphia Eagles - I'm a Philadelphian FIRST. When you compare common opponents the Iggles look better than the Stillers. Iggles handed the Dirty Birds a win while the Stiller beat them and the Iggles beat the Browns while the Stillers split with them. Stillers lost to the Turds...Iggles demolished them. The Stillers had closer games with the Landover Taco Holders and the East Rutherford Midgets while the Iggles had bigger wins. Stiller eeked a win over the Ravens...Iggles had them pretty well handled in Balty-more. Iggles beat up on the Bungles while the Stillers had a closer game with them. Iggles lead the series 49-29-3...including a 13-6 record in the "Super Bowl Era" since apparently the game magically changed with the 1966 season and all NFL titles won before hand no longer count. I expect a close game.


* Bonus *

(1) Combined points scored, Navy vs Army, over or under 40.5 UNDER

(2) Of all the games listed, this game will have the lowest combined points scored: Army-Navy
