Season 6 Week 12 (Six Feet of Snow Edition)
Only two regular season weeks left. Thanksgiving is next week, and we already have our first Midwest snow storm. Fall is no longer desperately clinging to power. It’s time to let Winter arrive. It is inevitable. But hey it’s not bad! We get beautiful scenescapes, Christmas, the College Football Playoff, and whiskey for Christmas!
We here at WTSB are no strangers to inevitability. Seriously some years it feels like we’re just running a Marvel script through our website. Wonder who Thanos is? Well who’s Cap or Iron Man then? I’m very confident that Kevin is Doctor Strange though. Infer as you will.
With all of that in mind, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the penultimate week! Our champion will be crowned in just over 2 weeks from now. Will it be a rerun, or will the script end in a twist?
Hopefully it’s not a M. Night Shyamalan twist though.

SHOWTIME
At high noon (not to be confused with Big Noon) we have the ever trundling, ever powerful Michigan Wolverines hosting the downward trending Fighting Illini. Benj and I will be braving the 17 degree weather (with 20 mph winds)
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
for Benj’s birthday present!
┳━┳ ノ( ゜-゜ノ)
We will still have a great time. Unlike my poor B1G West darlings. If (when) they lose to Michigan they will basically be out of the Divisional race. They lost their juice.
Also at Regular Noon. The HOT Michigan State Spartans play an embarrassing Indiana. I know Indiana as a whole is embarrassing, but this is currently another level. But I guess their run defense is somewhat ok? Too bad Tuck doesn’t wield the True Chop.
At 3:30, Spencer Hall’s most triggering of teams and fanbases travel to Maryland to play the Terps. Hearing rumors of a CJ Stroud Heisman showing so watch for him to play most of this game, unlike literally all previous ones. Also RIP to JSN’s Ohio State career most likely. I blame Notre Dame (as you always should).
Continuing on at 3:30, the TOP ELEVEN (!!!) #11 Bundesstaat Penn Löwen aus Nittany play Buttger. The Punishers of Pennsylvania Dutch Country are going to show those Italians a thing or 5 for the final time.
NFL x WTS Bets
I will once again be utilizing my strategy of ignoring the Lions not just for mental health reasons, but because I also have poor mental health and want them to win. Strategy is 2-0 right now so let’s make it a threefer!
You’re welcome to the Browns and Bills for letting you play in Ford Field. But man, I really wanted to see how crazy that blizzard game would be. I wanted shades of 2013 Lions vs. Eagles man.
Steelers be existin’ still somehow. What’s a Steelers chant? Go Pittsburgh? Gimme dat hoagie over der?
