Block 3 Key Games
Article By: Block 3 is set to open this Sunday and there's been lots of activity and movement within the Big XII already. Let's take a look at what appear to be some headliners for Weeks 5 & 6 in the conference!
Week 5
Kansas (JiggyJrod) @ TCU (srgtzt) TCU has gotten off to a hot start and pulled off the upset of #9 SMU for the Iron Skillet in their rivalry game. Kansas has been just as hot though pouring on the points while limiting his opponents. Kansas will likely be too much for the Horned Frogs to keep up with but the potential is there!
Prediction:
Kansas
Texas Tech (AUChase89) @ Cincinnati (Mjkemp15) - Tech has a great offense and is only a measly 4 points away from being undefeated on the season. Cincinnati is undefeated but is not as battle tested as Tech. This looks to be a high scoring affair that could be must watch Twitch TV. But I believe the Bearcat defense will be able to step up more than TTU's.
Prediction:
Cincinnati
Week 6
Iowa State (Smitty229) @ Baylor (VegasXXii) - Another HUGE game in the conference. Baylor already showed their might by taking down Colorado with a 10 point victory. Iowa State has also shown they're no pushover with their 25 point victory over then #12 Iowa. These two also have a storied history going back to the MAC. Look for lots of fireworks, hopefully in our chat thread as well, between these two budding rivals! Baylor looks extremely focused right now but I do think this will be a bit more defensive oriented than both teams previous season 30 games.
Prediction:
Baylor
Kentucky (Eljefebigrump) @ Cincinnati (Mjkemp15) - Back to back weeks for the Bearcats to show us what they've got. UK only has one game under their belt to date but their coach is known for winning. Cincinnati will be pushed hard in this game and as much as I want to pick them I'm just not sure they're up for this one.
Prediction:
Kentucky
