@LordDusk2014  
The road team has won every game in the series so far.

The Washington Nationals win the World Series!

8-0 49ers gettin it done.

@igotnopicks  
The 49ers are for real this year.
 
I’m really looking forward to the Packers-49ers matchup in a few weeks. That should be a great game.

@SuperPinkiePie64  
Next game is against Seattle.
 
 
Oh boy, ABC gum master Pete Caroll.

UVA has defeated UNC in a rivalry game literally no one cares about! That said, we are now the frontrunners for the ACC Coastal, meaning this year might see the completion of a Coastal Chaos cycle, which would be amusing.
 
For those wondering what ACC football is like…  
 
…allow me to present the Circle of Suck. The arrows point away from a loser, so Boston lost to Georgia Tech lost to Miami. Bask in the glory of it, because this is the second time this has happened this decade.

@GenericArchangel  
Notre Dame is not part of the ACC. They are Independent.

@igotnopicks  
They might as well be, given how much they play ACC teams. But yes, I know. There is a ND-less version of the Circle, but I couldn’t find it quickly.

@GenericArchangel  
College football? You don’t watch the NFL?

@Mikey  
I watch whatever level I’m at. I watched high school football in high school, and now I watch college football (and basketball). I do watch the Superbowl every year, though.

@Mikey  
If he does, it’s probably the Redskins that are the closest team to him.
 
And they suck.
 
 
@GenericArchangel  
Also note I read this off of wikipedia. So yeah
 
They agreed to face off against 5 ACC team a year just to be a part of the ACC in other programs.

@igotnopicks  
Idk how many ACC schools ND plays a year, but I think it is more than five in practice.
 
And yeah fuck the Redskins. Fuck them almost as much as the Patriots.

@GenericArchangel  
The Redskins is just terrible ownership. Dan Snyder is a terrible owner. And if it wasn’t owned by a terrible person the Redskins would be doing better.
 
The Pats tho, I can understand the hate everyone is tired of them.

@igotnopicks  
Lol we’re playing them tomorrow.

@igotnopicks  
I hate the Redskins for their name. Like, why? Why is the team still called that? It’s the goddamn DC team, call yourselves the Capitals or the Presidents or something.

@Mikey  
Don’t sleep on them.
 
The Redskins do have a decent running game.
 
The 49ers played them earlier in the year and beat them. 9-0 due the weather and the field looking like a slip and slide.

@igotnopicks  
If we don’t blow them out we’re not surviving the playoffs.

Oh man, competitive playoffs! That must be fun.
 
Anyways, I’ve got a one in three chance of predicting the college champs. Clemson, ’Bama, or Ohio State? Decisions, decisions…

@GenericArchangel  
It’s named that way because of another owner. They were the Boston Braves.

@igotnopicks  
That’s nice. Why are they still called that?

@GenericArchangel  
Dan Snyder refused to change their name to something else right now.
 
Plus the Redskins do have a long history with the NFL same goes for the worst team in the NFL the Cardinals.

@GenericArchangel  
Good luck against Clemson, because you’re gonna need a lot of it to have any chance of beating those guys.

@SuperPinkiePie64
 
Winning the Coastal is winning the honor of losing to Clemson. The last team from the Coastal to win the ACC was Virginia Tech in 2010, and Clemson has won since 2015. As much as I love the Cavaliers, there is not a chance in hell Virginia could ever win that game.
