The Degenerate's Digest v.55

We made it through Thanksgiving 2020, folks. Look at us. Plush with cash, never in doubt, winners winners winners. And what’s the whipped cream on the pumpkin pie? Rivalry week. Can you say ‘rivalry week’ anymore? I feel like most of the classic titles for the matchups this weekend have been deemed insensitive, so I really wouldn’t be shocked if it would be insensitive towards your rival if you called it a rivalry. Apologies to my rivals. Whatever, who cares, don’t focus on the names – focus on the games. This year’s rivalry week is different. There’s a bajillion cancellations, and the only thing you can really count on is the music these teams have been humming throughout the course of this whacky season. Listen to the music, let’s buy those Christmas presents.

(20) Costal Carolina @ Texas State: Over 57.5

Texas State is DANGEROUS in the pass game. They demolished Arkansas State for 443 yards last week. When it’s clicking, it’s clicking. I don’t expect them to win this game by any means, Coastal is looking to be the 2017 UCF Knights and self-proclaim themselves as the real champions of college football. With that said, if they are going to win this game, they’re going to be winning it on the scoreboard because Texas isn’t going down without some points proven.

Final Score: Costal Carolina 38, Texas State 24

(22) Auburn @ (1) Alabama: Alabama -23.5

Iron Bowl. I shouldn’t even need to write anything here but I guess I’ll make a quick comment. I said it a couple weeks ago when Nick Saban got COVID for the first time, he could coach from the moon and still have this team in shape ready to blowout the next contender. Auburn has been a wet blanket all season long. Cool, you covered against Tennessee last weekend. So what? The Crimson Tide are rolling right now and if you can get any kind of low-line on them to win the National Championship you have to, have to take it.

Final Score: Alabama 48, Auburn 21

Pittsburgh @ (3) Clemson: Clemson -22.5

22.5!? Against bobo Pitt? Come on man, Trevor Lawrence hasn’t played in like a month. He wants that Heisman! Is Clemson in a little bit of hot water? Yes. Is Pitt who they should be worried about possibly putting the lid on the pot? No. I had high hopes after week one for this Panthers offense with Mark Whipple managing the playbook. He hasn’t done anything special, and neither have the rest of this Panthers squad. Clemson needs to let everyone know who they still are (which they would have last week against the cowardly Seminoles), and they will.

Final Score: Clemson 45, Pittsburgh 17

Louisville @ Boston College: Boston College ML

Boston College is one of those programs that just wakes up. They get a good nights sleep, set their alarms, and are up and at’em before the opposition. I need a Digest insider to take notes and let me know the stats behind how many times BC wakes up before the team they’re facing. I bet it’s close to, if not 100%. They just want to play football. Guys being dudes. And on Thanksgiving weekend? Laughing out loud (LOL for short). Louisville doesn’t have a shot.

Final Score: Boston College 32, Louisville 27

Mississippi State @ Ole Miss: Ole Miss -9.5

It’s the Egg Bowl. Lane Kiffin will draw first blood. And that will be that. I think the Running Rebels might win this by 50. They want this one, wayyyyyy more than Mike Leech wants a Slim Jim from the Royal Farms down the block (and he wants that dude so you know Ole Miss is for real). In all seriousness, this line is a perfect live line. If Ole Miss is able to score on their first drive, they are winning by a blank check. If Ole Miss is able to score on their first drive, you’re taking whatever Vegas sends you – LIVE.

Final Score: Ole Miss 48, Mississippi State 17

Running Record: (75-58-2)
