Six Pick: Week Five

It's Week 5 and while its a bit flat nationally, conference games are starting to get hot and heavy. There are some important tone setting matchups that are worth our attention. The ACC Coastal dream (or is it nightmare?) of all 7 teams finishing 4-4 is alive and well. Though its going to take work by Miami not to screw that up. The Canes would be wise to win this week or you can all but count them out of not making the ACC Championship Game again.


This is a reminder of what no player from Miami has yet

The Games
Thursday, September 25th
UCLA -4.5 at Arizona State
10:00 pm FS1

Dorks, even party schools have em

  • A Quarter of the season is over and UCLA, the preseason media darling needs to shit or get off the playoff pot
  • Thursday night football in the Valley of the Sun, means no class for 2 days, lots of cheap beer, cheaper ladies and oh yeah, a game to go to in between

Pick: ASU getting the points. I am not sold on UCLA, even if Hundley plays. I like the homedog on a Thursday night showcase game.
***

Saturday, September 27th
Tennessee at Georgia -17.5
12:00 pm ES[M

  • The steaming pile that is the SEC East and it's apparently still too good for Mark Richt and the dawgs
  • You know what the SEC East would be full on ACC Coastal, if the Vawls beat Georgia, just two weeks after getting boat raced by Oklahoma

Pick: Vawls with a backdoor cover in garbage time.
***

Stanford -7.5 at Washington
4:00 pm FOX

Real > Fake

  • UDub isn't close to a finished product and it's going to take a full season for Chris Peterson to make the Huskies his, but we'll know a lot more about how good they are in 2014 after Saturday
  • I dare anyone to try and find a more boring offense than Stanford's. I'm team manball through and through, but a lil sizzle is ok from time to time

Pick: UDub getting the points as home dogs and the play it close to the vest nature of the Cardinal keeping it low scoring.
***

Missouri at South Carolina -5.5
7:00 pm ESPN

  • Any given Saturday and all, but to IU? Mizzou, you lost at home to INDIANA. Look ahead game or not, that's the dregs of the B1G and now you're that conference's marquee win
  • After the UGA win, "The Stylin', profilin', limousine riding, jet flying, kiss-stealing, wheelin' n' dealin' son of a gun!"OBC is back. Long live the Kang

Pick: Mizzou getting the points, theyll come out focused and looking to atone for last week's debacle.
***

Duke at Miami -7.5
7:30 pm ESPN2

  • Uggh, it's week 5 and I am already dropping a 2 loss team on the Six Pick. Good job, good effort Canes
  • The defending and overlooked ACC Coastal Champs, are this week's driver seat team. They look legit, but I said that about VT and Pitt before them

Pick: Duke getting the points, winning out right, playing backups. Are you kidding me? Ill take the well coached team over da U.
***

Oregon State at USC -9.5
10:30 pm ESPN

You mean all I had to do was be the school mascot? /shakes fist at sky

  • Most will have "east coast bias" which is also code for "I've been drinking for 12 hours, I passed out at midnight." However, if sober and just sitting around pulling tongue why not?
  • Seven win Steve has his course charted and we'll just have to watch to see where his team shits the bed

Pick: USC by a couple of touchdowns. The Beavers just aren't physical enough to make the Trojans pay.

St George Black Forest Ale
I'll be attending a neighbor's Miketobefest party on Saturday night, his session beer from St George's will get a lot of personal consumption. Drinking this for hours on hours isn't too bad at all.

Picks are made AGAINST THE SPREAD.

Review:
UCLA -4.5 at ASU
Vawls at Dawgs -17.5
Tree -7.5 at UDub
Mizzou at Sakerlina -5.5
Devils at Canes -7.5
The other, other OSU at SoCal-9.5
