After his fourth game of 40 points or more by the end of the third quarter, and his 6th game of 40 or more points, Steph Curry is playing at a level which no one has ever matched. He had 5 quarters of 20 or points; he shot 10-11 from the field, and 5-5 threes (three of which were 30 feet or further) in the third quarter. This is also his FIFTH game with eight or more threes. He is averaging more than 5 threes per game; he is averaging more than two steals per game, and is shooting at a stupid 52.4 percent rate. He will hit 15 threes in a game this season....if the other team is close enough. I predicted 74-8; they might go 79-3. Not even Jordan has matched this level of efficiency, and the 72' Bulls didn't match this start. Wow, Steph is GOAT right now.

Bunch of teams look like they will be rebuilding. Florida will be better with there nucleus coming back. Texas and LSU are looking to make noise.
Think UT will be about the same as this past season. May drop another game.
Georgia will be rebuilding. As is Bama
SEC looks to be more wide open than usual. I think we will be better on offense but defense I'm worried about. Hopefully we do more work in the portal in landing some more quality guys.
What yall think the sec landscape is looking for next fall?

Love this team.
So many can step up.
Happy for Almonar.
Butler is so tough.
Happy for Robinson. Thanks

Chargers / Texans over 42

Herbert over 1.5 TD's passing

John Metchie (Texans) 2+ receptions. No Tank Dell, no Stephon Diggs. Metchie is the #2 WR.

Robert Woods (Texans) over 9.5 receiving yards. Last 4 weeks since injuries to WR's, he has had games of 39,21,19,12 yards.

Ladd McConkey over 5 receptions. Target machine, Has 82 receptions on the year. Had below 5 once on 11/10/24. Before that, had 4 v/s Denver on 10/13/24. Only 3 times all year did he have below 5 receptions in a game. Weeks 2/3/5. Early in the year.

Ravens -9.5 v/s Steelers (Wheels have fallen off for the Steelers)

Steelers / Ravens over 44 - Every Ravens game but 3 have gone over the 44 points (@ Steelers 18-16) (Eagles 24-19 by 1 point) (@ Houston 31-2) Two of them was losses @ Steelers / Eagles. The other Houston could only score a safety. Ravens beat the Steelers on 12/21 34-17. That type of score is about what I am expecting, Ravens are not losing and Steelers will score more than 2 points.

Rashod Bateman over 41 receiving yards. With Flowers out, he will be the #1 WR target for Lamar. As the #2 he had 756 yards for the year. have 5 catches for 78 yards last week v/s Cleveland, he should have no problem getting over 41 today.

Van Jefferson (Steelers) over 9.5 receiving yards. In 12 games, he has 24 receptions for 276 yards. Has had games of 18,27,10,43,39,62,15,26,21,14.

Calvin Austin (Steelers) 2+ receptions. Steelers #2 WR, he is usually good for 2/3 receptions per game. In 8 games started (he is listed as #2 WR), he has 36 receptions for 536 yards. Too low, ravens pass defense, not good. Also, Steelers will be playing catch up most of the game.

is being coached by Buzz Williams, Chris Jan and Mike White. Prolly could throw SC and a bunch more teams in that category.

He leads them in scoring as a Freshman.

A&M really pushing up on our bigs. Good game plan.

Any commercial where all they do is dance…not creative

however, I love the Progressive commercials with the therapist coaching new home owners out of becoming their parents

Of course, we all watch every UK game.
But beyond those, every year in the past, there have only been 2-4 other teams, 1-3 other games each week worth watching.

But this year!!! Pretty much ever SEC game, or 7 of the 8 each week (maybe not USC vs any of the top 5 teams) is worth watching.
I'm finding myself only watching SEC games the past week. That's never happened.

This weekend there is a ranked team playing in 7 of the 8 SEC games (all but Vandy vs Missouri, which will be a good one). I bet 6 of the 8 (all but Auburn at USC, and LSU at Ole Miss) will be single digit wins.

I've been out of the computer game for a while. I used to keep up with all of that stuff. I am trying to hold off on getting a new PC/Laptop and just upgrade the current laptop I own. The only upgrades I can really do are the RAM and M.2 SSD. I currently have 12GB of RAM and only a 256GB M.2.

Current Processor - 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1155G7 @ 2.50GHz 2.50 GHz
Current RAM - 12GB DDR 4 (?) 3200Mhz
Current M.2 - NVMe SK hynix BC711 HFM256GD3JX013N

According to my research, that processor supports up to 64GB of RAM. So I had this in mind.

This seems to be a compatible M.2.

Since the laptop only has one storage device (the M.2), I guess this would work to clone the current drive and swap it out.

Any issues with what I'm trying to do? I appreciate any help I can get.
