Happy New Year everyone! And Happy New Decade!
Mrs Doofus pointed out that this is the 8th decade that I (and likely you) have lived in.
And what better way to start out the 8th decade than with a day full of good football. The BBofG updates have been lacking due to a several days full of adult beverages, board games and football. That won’t be the case today as our senior pastor and his son ore coming over for the games. So it will be a sober start to the new year. Well, at least until he leaves.
The Confidence pool picks got off to a lousy start. After day 1 I was 101st out of 130. I’ve slowly climbed back to 58th. Mike and Fuss had great starts. A couple of days ago they were 7th and 4th respectively. Since then they have dropped “faster than a fat kid on a teeter totter” as Mike said. Fuss is hanging tough at 12th. Mike is 32nd.
Before the playoffs there were plenty of good games on New Years Day. Now there are only four. Bummer. But they are pretty good for the most part, starting with.

Alabama -7.5 vs scUM – Arrrrrgh. Who the hell do you root for in this game. You never root for scUM but can you really feel good rooting for $aban and the Tide. In the Doofus Hierarchy of Hate these two are #1 and #2 with not a lot of room between them. But scUM is still #1 and always will be.
Bama expected to be in the playoffs but for the first time they were left out. scUM thought they would be playing Bama in the playoffs but they are morons and never got close.
The worry for Tide fans was how many players will skip this game and declare for the draft. CB Trevon Diggs and LB Terrell Lewis, are skipping the game, but projected first-rounders WRs Henry Ruggs III, Jerry Jeudy and DeVonta Smith will also suit up for Bama. That’s more than enough weapons to put a beat down on scUM.
This is the exact type of game that Harbaugh loses. 7.5 seems like a lot of points to give but they scUM last games ended 56-27 Bucknuts. Saban still hates scUM. He will roll up the score. Im in for a Mega Bet.

Auburn -7.0 vs Minnesota – How fired up will Auburn be for this game? They are coming off their biggest win in years, a 48-45 thrilling win over Bama. A win that put the final nail in Bama’s playoff hopes.
The last time Auburn came into a bowl deflated, they lost to UCF 34-27 and set off the Knights “National Champions” claim. Yet, when they faced last year’s version of Minnesota, the Tigers blasted 63-14.
Auburn has the best DL in the land. They last two times Minnesota faced good defenses they lost to Iowa 23-19 and Wisconsin 38-17. Auburn can and will play as good as Wiscy. I’m in for another Mega Bet on Auburn War Eagle!

Oregon +3.0 vs Wisconsin – Speaking of Wisconsin, they have gone to foutr bowl games ounder HC Paul Chryst, and won all four. It’s won a Cotton, Orange, Holiday, and last year, the Pinstripe over Miami.
This should be the best game of the day. Wiscy likes to batter teams with their cheese fed OL plowing running lanes for Jonathan Taylor. He needs 91 yards for a 2,000 yard season.
But stop the run and you stop Wiscy. The Oregon defense contains good RBs. Oregon’s run defense allowed over 200 rushing yards against Auburn, and that was it. Since then, the run D never gave up over 170 rushing yards, and have allowed only four rushing scores. Remember, Utah and Zach Moss were supposed to run all over Oregon. Final Oregon 37 Utah 15.
In a low scoring game, I’ll take the points but no quatloos. I will put a qualtoo on the under 51.5 though.

Baylor +4.0 vs Georgia – And speaking of coming in deflated, will Baylor be this years Georgia and Auburn? Teams that just missed the CFP and sleep walk through a bowl. Baylor lost just twice, both times thrillers to Oklahoma. Win the Big 12 championship game and they would have been the team to get destroyed by LSU not the Sooners.
Add to that, HC Matt Rhule is being rumored to be considered for more than one NFL position. The team might not have it today.
Georgia’s offense has sucked lately under Jake Fromm . And now the Dawg’s will be playing without three starting offensive linemen, OT Andrew Thomas and OT Isaiah Wilson are entering the NFL draft while OG Ben Cleveland is academically ineligible.
The line dropped from 7.5 to 4.0 when Baylor starting QB Charlie Brewer passed the concussion protocol and will start the game. He was knocked out against Oklahoma when the Sooners rallied to win.
As long as the Dawg offense is struggling behind Fromm I’ll take the Bears and the points. No quatloos though. Dont want to start out on the wrong side of the Saxy Lady going into the New Year.
