It feels like forever since we’ve had pro football without there being a Thursday night game. I’ll tell you what, it was a blessing in disguise. If there was TNF, I wouldn’t have gotten to see my new favorite conference in college football. The Sun Belt. I watched the Coastal Carolina game on Wednesday night and was thoroughly entertained for 3 hours, but little did I know that Georgia State and Arkansas State was going to blow it out of the water. These two teams combined for 111 points and that blew the over/under out of the water by 39 points. Everyone on offense had so much space to do whatever they wanted, it was hilariously bad. It was much needed entertainment considering that the Big Ten will be back this week and I’ll have to watch my Hawkeyes struggle to score 20 points some weeks.
The bye-week shift around leaves the Chargers, Saints, Raiders, and Seahawks with week 6 byes. As of early Saturday evening, there aren’t any games with real threats of postponement. Daps and pounds for good social distancing NFLers! Once again, we will have two games on Monday night and they both appear to be fun games on paper. But first, Sunday will give us 12 games including 9 early games and 2 late afternoon games. I guess the NFL REALLY wants you to watch Tom Brady vs. Aaron Rodgers.
