This Week In Sports

College Football Is Back!

College football returns on Thursday night with a slate of games although only two are sort of important with #11 Wisconsin and #20 Mississippi State being the only two ranked teams in action. Wisconsin hosts UNLV in what you should all expect to be a blowout since UNLV is coming off an absolutely miserable 2-11 season. And Mississippi State heads to Memphis who is also coming off a miserable 1-11 season. Once again, expect a blowout. As for some games that should be good games this weekend look for Friday night as #14 TCU heads to Baylor. Don't sleep on Baylor in this one as they have been a good program the passed few years. Then Saturday two big time games come at you at 8pm. First on ABC it's #3 Oregon against #4 LSU. Both teams seem to be battling legal issues at the moment with key players but since they're both power houses, expect a good game. I'm going to go with Oregon because LaMichael James is that good. The other 8pm game, on ESPN, features #5 Boise State and #19 Georgia. Georgia is my team and I expect them to pull the upset in this one. Why? Because Boise State lost its two best receivers to the NFL and Georgia returns a whole slew of skill players. I'll say it's a tight game with Georgia pulling away late. Go DAWGS!

MLB Game Of The Week:
Saturday Night 9:05pm
Giants vs D'backs in an early September battle of the top two teams in the NL West. The starting pitchers haven't been announced yet, but expect a good match up as the D'Backs have surprised everyone including myself this season. Where would that team be without Justin Upton? This could very well decide the fate of the defending World Series champs if they don't show up ready to go. Let's see what happens.

TONIGHT 7pm: Giants vs Jets in a game that means nothing (don't tell that to Jet fans). I can't wait for December 24th.
