Welcome to Week 10, but don't look too hard, it's a hot mess. Outside our number 19 Hokies and two primetime games, the week is largely forgettable. The games weren't the easiest to choose from, so I'll apologize in advance.

#BeatDuke
Saturday, November 5th
Georgia Tech at 21 North Carolina -10.5
12:30 pm ACC Network

- A nooner(ish) kick + against a gimmicky scheme multiplied by being heavily favored ... the best coaching Fedora can do this week is have his team motivated
- It would be real nice Paul Johnson and the underrated Jackets sprung one of his out of nowhere wins this week, THIS WEEK ... not next
Pick: GT getting the points, the half point hook got me.
***
11 Florida -5.5 at Arkansas
3:30 pm CBS
- The Razorbacks are 1-3 in conference, granted the one win was vs the best team with 5 losses in all of college football, but Bert couldn't be in trouble if Pig Sooie were 1-4 after Saturday?
- The second half of the Vawls game withstanding Jim McElwain has proven himself to be a damned good coach at Florida. He's one monster recruiting class from running the East
Pick: Florida by a touchdown. Coaching matters.
***
James Madison at Richmond -2.5
3:30 pm CSN

- The only thing I know about the Richmond Spiders is they are at worst the 13th best ACC program this year, amirite hoos
- Bryan Stinespring has finally got the offense Frank Beamer wet dreamed about ... at JMU. As run game coordinator, the Dukes are averaging 316 yards per game and scoring a billionity points each game, more or less
Pick: JMU getting the points, for Stiney!
***
1 Alabama -7.5 at 13 LSU
8:00 pm CBS

- How much money would you pay to hear Ed Orgeron light a fire under LSU pregame? Fat, sweaty, boot shaking with unkind words about his opponent, hard times and fighting til his last breath, Daddy-O. He's Dusty Rhodes as a football coach ...
- and Saban is his Ric Flair, 16x time World Champ.
Pick: WOOOOO! Bama laying the points. First half emotion isn't beating the Tide or the spread.
***
10 Nebraska at 6 Ohio State -16.5 8:00 pm ABC
- theeOhio State is flawed. Their passing problems are gumming up the running game. The question is can Urban Meyer correct these flaws in the next 3 games before Michigan?
- The Cornhuskers might have overachieved this season until last week versus Wisconsin. This game will tell us a lot about both programs as they enter the final stretch
Pick: Nebraska getting the points, I think they have the personnel to keep tOSU offense in check to keep the game within two touchdowns.
***
5 Washington -16.5 at California
10:30 pm ESPN

- The most important thing for privileged Cal fans isn't their Bears winning, unless it's against the even more privileged Stanford, it's that their unwashed hippies on Tightwad Hill can toke up while discussing the Golden State Warriors
- I can't be the only one starting to take a Washington win for granted. Expectations can be contagious and before those players know it, it's 54 - 51 in the 4th and they don't know how the game got to this
Pick: Cal getting those points. It's Pac 12 after dark, UDub is due for a close one vs a team they should beat. Might be real close.
***
Beer of the Week:

I'll be watching the Hokies at an outdoor party featuring clams, ribs and homebrewed ipa with homegrown Cascade hops. Cheers.
Picks are against the spread.

I don't like this feeling. It's like when you keep putting C on a MC exam. The exact same side can't be all right. Can they?
i don't consider them as a group, but yeah, likely not going thru unscathed.

Bama kinda wins at everything, don't they?
IDK, I'd put JMU at a 3 to 1 advantage there.
Welcome back to the pick six VPIhokieME! Missed you the past two weeks. You're selections are the best reason to revisit the pick six thread after making my picks.
glad to be back (to posting pics...)
I actually did make picks the last two weeks but didn't do it in my normal fashion because the Hokies were in the group and when I don't use pics my record is abysmal...so I picked the opponent w/out visual aids both weeks. You're welcome. :p

Beer: going to a beer festival in DC and then meandering to a beer bar for the Duke game. Will likely be enjoying Bluejacket's unique soured and funked Saisons.
Also, homebrew IPA with homegrown Cascade sounds fantastic! I bet the freshness of the hops really comes through!
Choppers... maybe even for the win.
Gators cover
For Stiney... indeed.
Tide rolls
Buckeyes cover. They may be flawed, but the Huskers are too.
I'm riding UDub... I believe.

North Carolina /GT- kill me now...wow- can we root for a flood? I think UNC hammers them- GT is just not that good, haven't been for a while. Thomas is dangerous, but bonehead penalties and missed 4th downs will kill them against a real offense.
Our flood power was used a few weeks ago to make our game one-sided against the Tar Holes. Still, it didn't have the effect we wanted, it turned the NC State/ND game into a regatta.
Unfortunately it has a cool-down of 1 offseason unless we can find some kind of power-up. Alcohol apparently isn't it because I've tried it every week for the past 12 years.

Georgia Tech at North Carolina -10.5 - for some reason I want to pick the Jackets, but I don't think UNC lets their homecoming game be close
Florida -5.5 at Arkansas
James Madison at Richmond -2.5
Alabama -7.5 at LSU
Nebraska at Ohio State -16.5
Washington -16.5 at California - UW is motivated to move up to #4, and Cal will be their sacrifice to the CFP committee
In the spirit of the World Series, Swing Away Teams!

Georgia Tech at North Carolina -10.5 - Heels stomp jackets to keep the race alive
Florida -5.5 at Arkansas - Gators the latest SECleast team with no offense to be exposed
James Madison at Richmond -2.5 - Stiney offense steamrolls the spiders
Alabama -7.5 at LSU - Bayou Bengals do the impossible and keep it close orgeron cements his job
Nebraska at Ohio State -16.5 - anOSU has lost a bit of their luster, lack the passing threat to run the score up this much against the fightin' huskers
Washington -16.5 at California - Huskies have a chip on their shoulder, Bears got a chip in their defense
Beer of the week is sneaking a trip to Lickinghole Creek for the first time to try this one. Honestly not sure how good it'll be, but they'll still have the Virginia Black Bear imperial stout for backup
