Six Pick: Week 4

Week 4 is here and it's damn good slate of games from Thursday night to all day on Saturday. It's early in the season, but it does look like less than 10 teams have legit shots at the playoff and it's quite possible one of them my have two losses. The only thing we do know is the B1G Ten has a bad case of #goacc.


This lsufreek gif from last year, still seems relative, until you realize each "bullet" is worth a hundred thousand #fsutwitter tweets

Week 4 Games

Thursday, September 18th
Auburn -8.5 at Kansas State
7:30 pm ESPN

Bill Snyder Family Stadium has got a lot of Lane to it

  • Hot damn, finally a top flight Thursday Night Lights game ... the epitome of new school vs ole school
  • You know when you're a bawse when they name the stadium after you and you're still the Head Coach

Pick: K-State getting the points. Love the homedog slowing the game down, keeping it close.
***

Saturday, September 20th
Florida at Alabama -14.5
3:30 pm CBS

  • Want to anger and/or depress a 30 to 50 year old Florida fan, ask him to compare Big Ugly Muschamp Ball to the Fun n Gun
  • The Lane Kiffin experiment gets real now ... the marquee game at 3:30, all eyes especially Saban's are on him

Pick: Alabama laying the points, I don't trust the Gator O enough.
***

Virginia at BYU -14.5
3:30 pm ESPN

Future stay at home moms of 5

  • I'm trying real hard to think of a lamer tailgate environment than BYU's ... all the Sprite and popcorn you want
  • A hoo win here and the unthinkable ... a non bottom 10, Mike London ranked uva football team

Pick: uva getting the points, it will be a close game.
***

Oklahoma -6.5 at West Virginia
7:30 pm FOX

  • Don't look now, but the Cousins have righted the jalopy a bit, the only good thing about that is Holgo stays around
  • Sooners the only worse than losing to Texas, is to losing to wvu and the scent of burnt polyester couches imprinted in your brain forever

Pick: OU covering by a touchdown in a tight one.
***

Clemson at Florida State -20.5
8:00 pm ABC

  • FSU hasn't had a 2014 coming out party and the schedule really only has a few big games on it ... Tallahassee is going to be electric
  • Last year in Clemson, Chad Morris with a veteran roster ran every gadget play in his arsenal vs FSU and the O was handled. Good luck Cole Stoudt

Pick: FSU with a late score to barely cover.
***

Miami at Nebraska -7.5
8:00 pm ESPN2

It's crazy to think this Bo Pelini pic with the cat has changed how everyone views him.

  • Arguably the top fan base in all of college football hosting the worst
  • This was a hotshit game from the mid 80's to the early aughts, now it's two teams wanting, but never getting back to that level

Pick:Nebraska covering, fairly easily.

Beer of the Week:

Cantillon Cuvee Florian (Zwanze Day 2014)
It's that time of year again, Cantillon's Zwanze day. No one makes better Sours in the world than Cantillon and I have great expectations for this year's offering.

Remember when picking at home it is against the spread.

Review:
Auburn -8.5 at Kansas State
Florida at Alabama -14.5
Virginia at BYU -14.5
Oklahoma -6.5 at West Virginia
Clemson at Florida State -20.5
Miami at Nebraska -7.5
