Six Pick: Weak Three

It's Weak 3 of college football in 2014 and we've reached our first, "Yes honey, I think date night would be a great idea. No, No, football isn't that important, you are" gameday of the season. The schedule is a lot better next week, so make brownie points now.

Hey Mark, the OBC's set is bigger and hangs lower on his person and while he has not belt, he does have ring that says Champ

Looking at the flaming pile of crap that is the SEC East and what appears to be a less than intimidating SEC West challenger, this is the best chance the UGA has to run the table. The Dawgs need to do more than just get by Sakerlina to make me a believer.

The Games

Saturday, September 13th
East Carolina at Virginia Tech -10.5
12:00 pm ESPN

What kind of damned Beer Pong is this ... oh nevermind, I'll play any game you want ladies

• I like and respect Ruffin McNeil so much, I'm not going to rip on the the ECU fans. Instead, I wish him a long, successful career at his alma mater, but not this week
• Focused. Hungry. Prepared. If VT doesn't have all 3, they can easily take a Loss. I promise you, ECU will have all 3

Pick: VT and the points, F it, I'm all in.

West Virginia at Maryland -3.5
12:00 pm BTN

Pick: WVU getting the points, winning outright. I've seen what type of year this is for the B1G, 2015 can't get here fast engouh.
***

Louisville -6.5 at Virginia
12:30 pm ACC Network

Forget UVa being a public Ivy, who knew they were an East Coast Animal House?

• I imagine the Head Ball Cop will talk pregame with Petrino about wearing a helmet and reckless driving on a motorcycle
• The Hoo defense is legit, it will be a nice cat n mouse game when Louisville has the ball. I don't think year 5 of the two headed hoo QB attack scares the Cardinals much, tho

Pick: Louisville covering, the hoo O looks like the weakest unit on the field.
***

Georgia -5.5 at South Carolina
3:30 pm CBS

• The Dawgs made Week 2, a bye, so they could prep for the Ol Ball Coach. In hindsight, that looks like a mistake
• Three weeks ago, the SEC network ran a piece about the Legend's life, an ass whoopin' here and it will look like a career remembrance piece

Pick: UGA by more than a touchdown. Torn, because I trust Spurrier, and Sakerlina is a home dog, but the Dawgs have better talent and balance.

Penn State -3.5 at Rutgers
8:00 pm BTN

Joe's not walking through that door, good thing if the Nittany Lions want a win on Saturday

• The winner of this game later battles Maryland for the right to claim Ocean City as theirs ... loser has to clean the puke from the Seacrets water
• Raise your hand if you had the B1G Ten's Playoff chances at week 3 resting on PSU, Rutgers, Maryland and Nebraska

Pick: PSU laying the points. They are imperfect and Fridge has made the Rutgers O much better, but I can't pick NYC's own until proven otherwise.
***

Tennessee at Oklahoma -20.5
8:00 pm ABC

• The Vawls are a year away from really coming into their own, but this does look like a turn the corner type of year ... game?
• I get the sense no one knows how high OU's ceiling is, since this is clearly the best night game, they'll have a lot of eyeballs on them nationally

Pick: OU by more than 3 touchdowns. Bob Stoops has been very mouthy about the SEC lately, he had best back that talk up again.

Beer of the Week:

Belching Beaver Peanut Butter Milk Stout
My Boss took a west coast trip and brought me back this supposedly tasty treat. Can't wait to dip into it.

Come make your picks against the spread.
