2016 Six Pick - Week Twelve

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.

Review:
Louisville -13.5 at Houston
Florida at LSU -13.5
Virginia Tech at Notre Dame -1.5
Indiana at Michigan -23
Washington State at Colorado -4.5
Oklahoma -2.5 at West Virginia
