2015 Six Pick - Week Ten

I'm not going to lie, I'm blank this week. Even if, like Beamer, I believed it was time, the roller coaster of emotions is real. Announcing on a bye week was another smart and caring move, because if I'm having a hard time this week, I can only imagine on how it's going with the staff and players. I'll think I'll go re-read some Frank articles.

Saturday, November 7th
Notre Dame -8.5 at Pittsburgh
12:00 pm ABC

• If Pitt wants to us to think they are secretly good, it would behoove them to actually beat one of the good teams on their schedule
• Class, it's about time the most visible and storied program in college football had a coach who demonstrated some

Pick: Pitt getting the points, losing by a touchdown.

Duke at North Carolina -7.5
12:00 pm ESPN2

• You know Tarheels fans like to crap on dookies, they have their own group of fans that are dorky, in the classy southern gentleman way, of course
• Last week was a bad beat, the worst kind of beat out there. Beat UNC this week, it won't mean that much at all though

Pick: Duke getting the points, keeping it within a touchdown ... maybe winning out.

TCU -5.5 at Oklahoma State
3:30 pm FOX

• I'm a man, my team scores 70 (and gives up over fitty) ... hard to think they can't keep surviving week to week like that
• Speaking of points, a certain Heisman finalist, TCU QB Trevone Boykin and the Horned Frogs are going to drop 60 that Pokes defense in just another 5 hour B12 game

Pick: TCU putting an absolute beating on the Pokes.
***

Florida State at Clemson -12.5
3:30 pm ABC

• Dabo has exorcised Clemsoning and Sakerlina, that leaves FSU as his next beast to slay ... do that and a playoff birth looks inevitable
• I know FSU has just had a great 2 year run and lost lots of players to the NFL, but what's the point of having annual top 5 recruiting classes and not running the "lowly ACC"

Pick: FSU getting the points, they'll keep it relatively close, but the Tigers will win.

Navy at Memphis -7.5
7:00 pm ESPN2

• Fuente has Memphis at 7-0 and on a collision course with Houston, but they can't overlook Navy, who'll get after ya. Also, don't mind me, I'm just scouting how Memphis defends the triple option
• Navy at 6-1 deserves a P6 game of the week and as everyone knows their offense needs to be prepared for or it will embarrass you

Pick: Navy getting the points, losing by 3-7 points.
***

LSU at Alabama -6.5
8:00 pm CBS

• Alabama doesn't have a dynasty. Alabama is still damn good. Both things can and are true.
• Leonard Fournette, this is a legend making opportunity

Pick: LSU keeping it real close, in a loss. Enjoy #manball you guys.

Beer of the Week:
Smartmouth Porter, III

I'll be pouring beer early on Saturday for a couple hours at Smartmouth's third anniversary street party, come by and visit. Along with this Anniversary Smoked Stout, their Cowcatcher milk stout will be available in cans for the first time. Cheers guys.

The last two weeks results are coming soon, I promise.

Picks are against the spread.
