Week 3 is approaching!   The Detroit Lions will finally be leaving the home comforts of Ford Field as they hit the road for a divisional matchup with the Minnesota Vikings!    The last time these two sides met, the legend of Amon-Ra St Brown was born and the reign of Dan Campbell truly began as the Lions won with a walkoff TD, ending the playoff hopes for their purple rivals.  ...

And just like that, Week 3 has already come and gone as some College Football teams are already reaching the quarter point of their season.   In the aftermath of Blood Week the big dogs were out with a point to prove and to try and avoid becoming the next big shock result on the schedule.    Join Ryan and Antony as they review week 3 and then survey the lay of the land and see...
