2019 Six Pick Week 3: Witty Subtitle Here

Week three begins! I'm not late, you're early. How dare you. Anyway, the run game looks nice...

via GIPHY

Anyway, let's dive into some games. As always, The Key Play is not #EASTCOASTBIASED so we have a PAC 12 showdown.

Pitt
@ Penn State (-17)

Nerd Fact #1: Sweet Caroline, while a great song, is wasted on Pittsburgh.
Nerd Fact #2: Former Hokie recruit Devyn Ford is averaging over 15 ypc on 7 touches.

Pick: After watching the Hoos throttle the Panthers, I believe Pitt will eat shit in this one. Give me Penn State by 20+.

Stanford
@ UCF (-7.5)

Nerd Fact #1: Stanford claims "fountain hopping" is a fun tradition.
Nerd Fact #2: UCF has had 4 mascots including Vincent the Vulture, Puff the Dragon, and the Citronaut.

Pick: Give me Stanford to cover. I know they looked terrible last week but after two years, I am still not a UCF believer.

Florida (-8)
@ Kentucky

Nerd Fact #1: This is Florida's second feature in the Six Pick: Nerd Edition.
Nerd Fact #2: Kentucky Kicker Matt Ruffalo is related to the Hulk.

Pick: I'm going with Kentucky on this. I feel they are underrated and Florida is a dumpster fire right now.

Hawai'i
@ Washington (-21.5)

Nerd Fact #1: Hawai'i has already knocked off 2 P5 teams and scored 70+ points in 2 games.
Nerd Fact #2: Washington comes off of a sleepy performance against Cal.

Pick: 3 TDs plus against this Hawai'i team? I'm taking Hawai'i every single time.

Arizona St
@ Mich State (-13.5)

Nerd Fact #1: Sun Devil Stadium has a ban on tortillas. This is a hate crime if you are a Texas Tech student.
Nerd Fact #2: Mich St wore arguably the ungliest jersey in the history of college football last week versus Western Michigan.

Pick: Give me Arizona State. While Mich State crushed Western Michigan, they didn't handle too impressively against Tulsa. I think the Sun Devils cover.

Furman
@ Virginia Tech (-21.5)

Nerd Fact #1: Furman likely supports the alliance.
Nerd Fact #2: Furman is the oldest private school in South Carolina.

Pick: Give me the Hokies. Big. I think this team continues to get better and the run game rights itself for a 150+ yard game.

SUMMARY:

PITT @ PSU (-17)
STAN @ UCF (-7.5)
UF (-8) @ KENTY
HAW @ WASH (-21.5)
ASU @ MSU (-13.6)
FUR @ VT (-21.5)

***
BEER OF THE WEEK:

My terrible beer of the week is THE BEAST, Natty Lite. Natty Lite recently introduced a 77 pack which may be just enough to give you a buzz.

***

LAST WEEK:

I'll be honest. I owe you all some stats but it is 1:30 in the morning so I will go through to get our new point leader and some stats on picks from week two. Blame Alum or something. He has enough legs to spare.

Nerd Out.
