The Picks Are In For Week 6 Of CFB

Posted on by

This week we had some things come up and weren’t able to record Trophy Kids. Don’t worry though because we are still bringing you those hot picks to get you through week 6 of college football. Make sure to subscribe to Trophy Kids

Nate’s Picks: Record 6-7

Syracuse at Pitt +3.5: Everyone has that team that when they need a cover comes through in the clutch. That team that flies under the radar because they aren’t a big program but delivers in big moments. That team for me is Syracuse. I am 5-0 over the last two years when going to them. They are well coached with a high power offense and a strong defense. I am going to the well one more time.

Pick: Syracuse -3.5

Kentucky at Texas A&M -5.5: This is the disrespect game of the week. Kentucky is hotter then Stacey’s mom right now and let me tell you something, you never go against the hot hand. Kentucky passes the eye test in this one. Strong defensive play starting with the outstanding linebacking core. They have arguably the best running backs in college football and a quarterback that is faster than lightning. Coach Stoops has slowly been building a program down in Lexington and they are exploding onto the scene this year.

Pick: Kentucky +5.5

Over/Under

Northwestern at Michigan State (43.5): This is a snoozefest of an offensive game if I ever saw one. Michigan state ranks 55th in points per game and Northwestern is an embarrassing 111th.  This game is also expected to be windy meaning it should be a grind you down on the ground kind of day.

Pick: under 43.5

THE BRINK TRUCK LOCK OF THE WEEK

LSU at Florida +3: Coach O and the boys are heading down to the swamp to wrangle up some gators this weekend. This game is going to be a heavyweight slugfest on defense. I think this game though will come down to quarterback play and only one team’s quarterback has shown that he is up to the task. LSU’s Joe Burrow has been impressive in big moments this year and I expect him to come up big in this one.

Pick: LSU -3, Go Tigers!

Bonus: When Herm Edwards was hired at ASU everyone thought it would be a disaster. It turns out that it might not have been such a bad idea. ASU is playing tough and has the ultimate weapon in wide receiver N’keal harry. At 6’4 and weighing in at 211, he is a beast on the outside. The defense has got some playmakers as well. I’m taking Herm and the Sun Devils to cover -2.5.

Tim’s Picks: 6-7 record

Lock of the week

Alabama vs Arkansas +35: Even though they were my only pick that didn’t hit last week, I’m still going bama this week and they are definitely my lock.  The Arkansas football team is so bad, they will definitely cover this game.  Take it to the bank.
Pick: Bama-35
Over-Under
Clemson at Wake Forrest 61: Taking the over here because you never bet the under.  What’s more, fun rooting for people to score points or rooting for people not to score?  The answers easy points, points, points.  There’s also a stat to back this one up, Clemson is 15-4 when they are a favored by 10 points or more.  I believe I used this stat in past weeks and watched them go from 14-4 to 15-4, let’s make some money and make it 16-4.
Pick: Over 61
Notre Dame at Virginia Tech +7: Notre Dame looks like a completely different team since they made the switch at QB.  Ian Book has lifted this offense up and they have been playing well.  Va Tech also lost their starting QB for the year when they played ODU.  Liking the fighting Irish here and taking them to beat the spread.
Pick: Notre Dame -7
Michigan at Maryland +17.5: This one hurts.  It was Nate’s lock of the week last week and they failed me when they were my lock of the week.  I just get a feeling they are going to be an up and down team this year.  One week they’ll play a bad team and struggle, next week, they’ll bounce back and run the ball down their throats.  Look for them to bounce back after a poor performance against Northwestern and they will obliterate Maryland.
Pick: Michigan -17.5
Bonus: This one is just a little fun one.  I’ll be at the Toledo vs Bowling Green game this week and its always more fun to root for points.  This is a hefty over but both teams like to score points.  Taking the over here at 71.  Let’s go Rockets!

Let’s see how it plays.

P.s. If you came here for proper grammar and articulate writing, go read a book. This is Pick em season, and ain’t nobody got time for that. Hot Picks Only… but seriously come back next week for more.
