Ben Goren, Henry Bushnell and Zach Pereles break down Northwestern's recently released Week 1 depth chart for Saturday's game against Stanford, and explain why Fitz is trolling everybody with the wide receiver two-deep. Plus, how are we feeling about the season as a whole? More optimistic? And, to put it bluntly, we explain how putrid the entire Big Ten West is. And how could we forget... poetry contest winners!

Henry Bushnell (@HenryBushnell) and Ben Goren (@BenG412) are joined by Zach Pereles (@zach_pereles) for some Northwestern football prop bets. Over/Under 55 catches for NU's leading receiver? Over/Under 500 yards from scrimmage for Auston Anderson? How many QBs will start at least one game? Over/Under 2.5 games where the student section is more than half full? Over/Under 0.5 Ryan Field sellouts? Over/Under 0.5 fat guy touchdowns?

We also make Tim Beckman jokes, and compare Big Ten teams to English Premier League clubs ahead of the new EPL season — Michigan is definitely Man United, and find out why Rutgers is Cardiff City. And Henry makes Pound The Talk history by forcing us to bleep out a word for the first time.
