Week 6 Picks

FRIDAY
Utah at Louisville (-14.5)
ESPN 8:00pm

Thor - Utah destroyed UCLA and they should scare the hell out of Louisville tonight. Utah may not win but they definitely beat the 2TD spread. How good was Bobby Petrino? Louisville 41 Utah 35

Paul - Lately it seems that Louisville has fallen on what some would call hard times, but they will finally bounce back with a win, it may not be big but a win is a win.
Louisville 45 Utah 28

SATURDAY
Wisconsin at Illinois (-2.5 are you f'in kidding me?)
ESPN 12:00 est

Thor - Illinois is favored in this game which makes me think somebody knows something about Wisconsin. It's no surprise to me that the Badgers are overrated, but Zook's kids won't pull this one out. Wiscy 17 Illini 14

Paul - I may be crazy, but I think Zook is gonna get that shocking win this week-end that will get that monkey off his back. We all know he can recruit, this week-end we find out he can coach. Illinois 21 Wisconsin 20

Kansas at Kansas State (-3.5)

12:00 est

Thor - The spread should be much higher than this, the giant Mangino has put together a solid team of scrubs, but K-State has some serious talent and Josh Freeman should pick the Jayhawk defense apart like Mangino picks a Turkey Carcass. Power towels 35 Kansas 7

Tastes like Turkey

Paul - I agree, even though Kansas is off to a great start who has been their competition?? Kansas St keeps on rollin', 31-10

Georgia at Tennessee (-2.5)
CBS 3:30 est

Thor - Everyone is writing off Tennessee, i think they "Circle the wagons" this week and Ainge torches UGA's hidden weakness; that bad secondary. UT 28 Uga 20
Paul - Another agreement here, it does seem as though everyone has written off Tenn., but UGA isn't that powerhouse that most think they are. Even though Stafford has a wonderful game Tenn., finds a way to win, but close. Tenn 24 UGA 17

Oklahoma vs. Texas (+10.5)
ABC 3:30pm

Drop to your knees and pray to the football gods this is in your coverage area.

Thor - Both teams are coming off a loss and probably pretty pissed about it. Texas has the best defense OU has seen this year and they should coral that running game, which puts things on Bradford's shoulders. Colt McCoy gets his feet back under him this week and has a good day. 10.5 is far too big a spread for a rivalry like this, Sooners win a close one when the Longhorns can't push it in the end zone to win 38-34

Paul - This one may be too close to call. Obviously both teams will be severely pissed about last week, and the only difference may be home field advantage (even though it didn't help to much last week). Texas will FINALLY put together a decent game it what may prove to be an otherwise ugly one. UT 35 OU 28

Virginia Tech at Clemson (-5.5)
ESPN 6:00 est

Thor - Who cares? VT is hella overrated and Clemson's running backs should end this game early and salt it away late. Spiller and Davis both get over 100 yards, but Bowden's ineptness keeps it from being a blowout. Tigers 27 Hokies 10

Paul - Another year goes by, another excuse for VT fans. Shoulda coulda woulda. I agree that this game will be about as exciting as watching a good old game of cricket. Clemson has good RB's, but VT defense should counter that with a gut wrenching win.
VT 17 Clemson 10

Florida at LSU (-8.5)
CBS 8:00 est

Thor - Your Prime Rib for the evening will be overcooked and chewy. LSU could make this ugly and should win big. But I'm waiting for Les Miles to screw it up, and Florida may go on a tear after being humbled by Auburn last week. My Gut tells my Florida, my brain says otherwise. Gooks Tigers 31 Gators 14

Paul - Will this be the second week-end in a row that Tebow will get Tebow-ed? Uhhh, yeah. Tigers at home, Gators exposed. The recipe for disaster is in for Urban, and if it isn't this week-end it will be soon that Tebow doesn't finish a game. Glenn Dorsey is twice the DT that any ONE of Auburn's DT's and he looks hungry for some Gator meat.
LSU 38 UF 17

Ohio State at Purdue (+6.5)
ABC 8:00 est

For the love of God why would you watch this? Turn the channel to CBS!

Thor - Ohio State should expose Purdue for the fraud they are, don't forget Purdue let Notre Dame score 19 points. Remember when Minnesota would go 5-0 EVERY year playing a horrible schedule, get ranked, and then get creamed by the first decent opponent they played and end the season 7-5? Now that's Purdue, see ya Boilermakers. Buckeyes 35 Purdue 1

Paul - I really don't think this will even be a competition. Yeah, Purdue is off to a good start, yeah OSU doesn't look as strong as the last few years, but none of that is gonna matter. OSU wins and wins biiiiig. OSU 45 Purdue 10

Notre Dame at UCLA (-20.5)
ABC 8:00 est

For the love of God why would you watch this? Turn the channel to CBS!
part 2

Thor - UCLA got embarrassed by Utah, now it's their turn to do the embarrassing. The Bruins roll at home over the Irish. UCLA 49 ND 9

Paul - As long as Notre Dame keeps losing I will have a smile on my face. Bruins will roll over the Irish like every other team has so far this year. Notre Dame still has no identity and will continue to wilt away right before our eyes, but they might make it interesting.
UCLA 28 ND 14

Nebraska at Missouri (-6.5)
ESPN 9:15 est

Thor - This is a pretty sweet nightcap you can turn on if the UF vs LSU game is getting out of hand. Mizzou is probably overrated (see Purdue) but they did beat what is turning out to be a good Illini team. Nebraska almost lost to f'in Ball State. I still think the Huskers are better even on the road. Cornshuckers 28 Tigers 27 Take that Missouri fan.

Paul - This could be a fun game to watch. Both teams have potential, but neither seems to be capitalizing on it. Watch out for Missouri, but the Huskers pull it together late and manage to win in a fairly evenly matched game. Nebraska 20 Missouri 13
