2016 Six Pick - Week Twelve

By: BeerControlOffense on November 15, 2016, 9:35 PM | 85 comments

The end is nigh, with only 3 weeks left of non bowl games. Enjoy them! A very busy week for me will keep this week's Pick Six very brief. It's the week before SEC rivalry games, so that means they all play the sister's of the poor to rest up, though a hurricane screwed those plans for LSU and Florida. Other than Wazzou and top 10 Colorado, and the Sooners vs the Cousins, it's a pretty lackluster week.


Many in Hokie nation are taking the road (or air) trip to South Bend this week. I can't wait to tailgate, checkout the campus and stadium and hopefully see our team get back on track.

Thursday, November 17th
Louisville -13.5 at Houston
8:00 pm ESPN

Pick: Louisville, grudgingly ... as Houston will throw everything they have at the Cards, but this is a 2+ TD game.
***

Saturday, November 19th
Florida at LSU -13.5
1:00 pm SEC Network

Pick: LSU laying it on Florida by 3 scores as the Gators are insanely beat up.
***

Virginia Tech at Notre Dame -1.5
3:30 pm NBC

Pick: Hokies winning. Cold, windy, sloppy? conditions means whoever can run and stop the run better wins.
***

Indiana at Michigan -23
Indiana at Michigan

Pick: Indiana getting the points, last week's loss, and a new QB, I see this as low scoring.
***

Washington State at Colorado -4.5
3:30 pm FOX

Pick: Wazzou getting these points, this will be a tight one.
***

Oklahoma -2.5 at West Virginia
8:00 pm ABC

Pick: The Cousins winning outright. Big time night games in Morganhole are tough out for the opposing teams.
***

Beer of the Week:

My greater Chicago drinking stops will include these three breweries, a few "local options", and Sunday morning brunch to get the cobwebs out.

Picks are against the spread.

Louisville -13.5 at Houston - Cards snub Cougs, big game from the chip on that shoulder
Florida at LSU -13.5 - Orgeron wants a job, Gators want a point, this won't be close
Virginia Tech at Notre Dame -1.5 - Hokies cure what ails them, stun jesus in front of 100k
Indiana at Michigan -23 - Michigan's exposed some weaknesses the past couple of weeks, win but Hoosiers prove they're no Hoos, put up a strong fight
Washington State at Colorado -4.5 -Why are they called Wazzu? I would like to see Leach explain this to me, after they stun the Buffs en route to Apple Cup
Oklahoma -2.5 at West Virginia Neers feeling snubbed as well, make a statement, not soon enough

Making the trip, can't wait for some 3 Floyds to pour into my mouth and fill up my belly and make my head feel like I'm swimming and flying and singing all the songs.

Louisville - honestly would have taken UH & the points, if I'd done this in time
Florida - Not sure either team scores 14, let alone a 14 pt spread
Virginia Tech - gotta pick the good guys, but I REALLY don't think we'll win
Indiana - Mich losing their QB makes this a tight game
Colorado - Not a fan of either but Buffs look tough at home
Oklahoma - Mayfield lights up the inbreds
