Football Thoughts – Week 7
I didn’t watch much football this weekend as I was busy at the Campference. But here’s my picks! San Diego State Props to the Aztecs for coming from behind to give Air Force the old government shutdown in the fourth quarter. It’s the bye week, rest up, get healthy, and beat Fresno State! Week 7…
