🏈 Hoosier Heisman
(Drake) Maye the odds be ever in your favor....
Hey BettrNation family! Congrats to those of you who are Indiana Hoosiers fans! You finally have something to cheer about outside of the basketball court 🏀 Not only are your Hoosiers Big 🔟 champions (in football!), you now have your first Heisman Trophy winner in Fernando Mendoza! As an added bonus, Indiana is now no longer the losingest football program in America. (Sorry, Northwestern, but that not-so-great honor belongs to you now 🫣) Both Mendoza and Coach Curt Cignetti have caused numerous people to jump on the Indiana bandwagon and root for the Hoosiers in the CFP, which kicks off next week 🙌 (While we love a Cinderella story just as much as the next sports fan, we suspect that JMU and Tulane may see their fairy tales end sooner than later…)
To hold us over until the CFP next week, there are a number of MASSIVE games in the NFL this weekend, each of which will help determine the final NFL playoff picture. Drake Maye - in the midst of a sensational sophmore season - leads his Pats against the Bills, while Patty Mahomes and his Chiefs fight ⚔️ for their playoff lives against the Chargers. We also can’t forget the (presumed) resurrection of Philip Rivers’ (yes, that Philip Rivers 😮) career with the Colts and the fact that Deion’s son is beginning to make some noise in Cleveland (perhaps to the chagrin of Coach Stefanski). Regardless of which game you tune into today, let’s hope it is as entertaining as that Tampa Bay-Atlanta contest from Thursday! (I’m pretty sure I heard my friends in Charlotte shriek in excitement after that upset win by the Falcons!)
Here’s to hoping you feel better about your bets this weekend than Michigan and Notre Dame fans feel about their football programs right about now (albiet for very different reasons)!
