Pigskin Pickin' Machine

The PPM returns with a pretty dull slate of games in both college and pro.

3-0 Ohio State hosts 1-AA Florida A&M (1-2).
The less that I say about this the better as I hate playing 1-AA schools as there is nothing to gain and everything to lose.
Other than I hope Braxton Miller sits,Kenny Guiton plays a little and Cardale Jones plays out the string,That's all I have.

Texas Tech (3-0 1-0 Big 12) hosts Texas State (2-0).
A rested Raider squad comes off the win of TCU and unless Flat Top Meyers has come back,I'm not sure Texas State hangs around.

Bowling Green (2-1 1-0 MAC) hosts Murray State (2-1) in another 1-AA matchup.
I can understand why the Falcons do it though in order to get another home games.
BG fell apart in a loss to Indiana in the second half,so they could be hungry.

The game of the week features the only matchup of top 25 teams as 5th ranked Stanford (2-0) hosts 23rd Arizona State (2-0).
Arizona State enters the game with a referee-aided win over Wisconsin,while Stanford plays the Anti-Pac 12 game of power football.

In the NFL,the Browns (0-2) travel to Minnesota (0-2) with a third string quarterback and either a running back from the waiver wire or one just signed in the middle of the week.
I know many are hitting the Browns for throwing in the towel,but I've seen Brandon Weeden throw and Trent Richardson run,I don't imagine Brian Hoyer and Willie McGahee drops the quality that low.
If it does,it is going to be some putrid football.
The Vikings have lost two close road games and make their home debut.
Adrian Peterson is well,Adrian Peterson and so is Christian Ponder.
Interesting in the Metrodome.

The Saints (2-0) host the Cardinals (1-1) as Drew Brees and company look to score plenty against an Arizona defense that doesn't look strong and has a hobbled Larry Fitzgerald in tow.
The Saints offense should break out this week...

The game of the week is another weak one as the 1-1 Packers hit Ohio and the 1-1 Bengals.
Green Bay will try to score points against a tough Bengals defense.
The key could be can backup RB James Starks do well on the ground?...

Last week 5-1
Season 13-4
