Las Vegas - Note that the Browns/Raiders game has been moved to Monday at 5:00 ET. Both the Eagles/Washington and the Rams/Seahawks games have been moved to Tuesday at 7:00 ET.

Start out your Saturday with the Jimmy Kimmel L.A. Bowl tomorrow in Inglewood, California. Yea, THAT Jimmy Kimmel! Oregon State is a -7 point favorite over Utah State. Totally get that the Pac 12 is stronger than the Mountain West, but MAN, Utah State is BALLING! They CRUSHED a solid San Diego State team in the MWC Championship, 46-13. The Aggies also handled another Pac 12 bowl team earlier this season, Washington State, 26-23. And the main reason we LOVE Utah State is, QB Logan Bonner. The kid set a school record with 36 TD passes and has gobbled up 3,560 air yards. And if you scroll back a little further and check out Bonner's combined work at Arkansas State and Utah State, we're talking 66 TDs against just 20 INTs. Gotta tell you that Logan's job will be somewhat easier because of a CRUCIAL Oregon State injury. Beavers star LB Avery Roberts had surgery on his leg and WILL NOT play. Does that really matter Eck? Well, Roberts ONLY led the Pac 12 in tackles with 128. So, YEA, it matters. Thinking that the Aggies are one of the BEST plays on the entire bowl board, and will go ALL IN with a LeeLoo Dallas BIG BADDA BOOM!

Looking at the NFL action, while everyone loves the Patriots, we're gonna rock the Colts -2 points over Bill & the Belichicks. Yea New England is playing well and yea Mac Jones is the next Tom Brady, maybe, but these kids from Indy can do some stuff. If you watched the Patriots/Bills game where the Pats posted an ugly 14-10 win, the one stat that stuck out like a REALLY sore thumb was Buffalo's leading rusher. It was QB Josh Allen with 39 yards. Ouch! Now, New England's defense is gonna have to contend with someone who can REALLY run the ball, Jonathan Taylor. Mr. T is only the LEADING rusher in the NFL with 1,348 yards. Taylor also tops the NFL chart in rushing TDs with 16. And more good news. Indy gets center Ryan Kelly back, who just so happens to be a two-time Pro Bowler. We've had our issues with Carson Wentz, but with the premier rushing attack working, he has been pretty solid. Wentz is hitting at a 63.3% clip, has passed for 2,948 yards and 22 TDs with just 5 INTs. Gotta throw down with the Horseshoes, and this AIN'T a leaner, it's a RINGER baabbbeee!
