College Football 2019: Complete Week 13 binge-watching guide
By Zach Bigalke
Only two weeks remain in the regular season before conference championships. Be sure to binge on as much college football as possible before Thanksgiving.
The week before Thanksgiving is traditionally the time when SEC schools schedule FCS opponents as a virtual bye week before diving into rivalry games over the final weekend of the regular season. Even with teams like Alabama and Auburn favored by ridiculous margins against their overmatched opponents from the lower subdivision, though, there is going to be plenty of incredible football to binge on this weekend.
There are plenty of great matchups that you will not want to sleep on during Week 13 action. Some rivalry action gets heated up a little bit early, starting with a great showdown on Friday night that falls off the beaten path but offers as much animosity as any two bitter Power Five rivals can muster.
Another regular season winds down, but before the melancholy of the offseason sets in get as much college football in as possible. Football gluttons have plenty to rejoice this week as the schedule offers up a veritable smorgasbord from which to binge.
With all that in mind, here’s your Binge-Watching Guide for Week 13 of the 2019 season. (All odds from the Action Network. All times in Eastern Time.)
Friday night special: Colorado State at Wyoming (9:30 p.m. ET – ESPN2)
Colorado State heads to Laramie on Friday night to face off against Wyoming for the 111th time in college football history. Since 1899 these two bitter rivals have done battle, and since 1968 they have played for the Bronze Boot trophy. For most of their respective histories, the Rams and Cowboys have battled as conference foes — first in the Rocky Mountain Conference, then the Mountain States (Skyline) Conference, the WAC, and finally their current home in the Mountain West. Colorado State must win out to become bowl eligible, but that won’t lead the Pokes to let up on their rivals.
PREDICTION: Wyoming wins by double digits to cover the seven-point spread and eliminate Colorado State from a shot at playing in a bowl game this year.
