Best, worst of college football Week 13 and Week 14 ATS: A Blitz Podcast

The final weekend of the college football regular season brings rivalry intrigue and big conference matchups that could shape the postseason race.

We are entering the final weekend of the college football regular season. It’s hard to believe that November is nearly over and the shooting star that is the regular season has nearly burned out in in the night sky. The long, dark path of the offseason is nearly upon us, but Week 14 brings enough intrigue that we don’t have to worry about that just yet.

It’s rivalry weekend in college football. From The Game to the Iron Bowl, college football’s fiercest rivalries will renew on the gridiron with ramifications that will extend far past bragging rights among fan bases.

Before we can dive into previewing a packed Week 14 slate, our podcast crew has to pack up the grill on Week 13. John and Zach discuss the best wins of last week, the worst losses, and the biggest surprises before handing out some game balls and atone for their biggest misses of the week.

In the second segment, we preview the biggest games of Week 14 and offer up our predictions against the spread. While there’s some agreement among our hosts with the predictions this week, they disagree on the two rivalry matchups that are closest to their own hearts.

In the final segment, John and Zach try to get the best of Vegas with their upset picks and locks of the week against the spread. And, as always, our hosts dole out their eating and drinking recommendations for the weekend, offering a different twist to that with some post-Thanksgiving Day favorites with leftovers.

Have a happy Thanksgiving, and enjoy the games everyone.
