2019 Six Pick Week 4: Bye Week Edition

via GIPHY

Welcome back to Six Pick where I can guarantee the Hokies will not lose on the field this week! So what have we learned? Stats!

Picking games based on submarines doesn't work after JetBlckFastAttck pulled an 0-6 on week 2.

No one went scoreless in week 3! This is because there was a push so I gave everyone a half point for being a champion and making picks. That said... Week three was rough for us gang.

bblankin is a bad ass, dropped in for week 2, went 6-0, and hasn't played any other week. We have a 4 way tie for first (brickhaus, H_ighlander_okie, VT_Warthog, and Hokiejoe11) with 10.5 points.

VT continues to be a bad pick against the spread.

With that said, let's get started!

Notre Dame
@ Georgia (-14)

Nerd Fact #1: I keep this burried, but I was raised a Notre Dame fan having an uncle and a dad who both are ND alum. I almost went to ND (was accepted) but like VT better.
Nerd Fact #2: UGA has outscored opponents 148-23 this year.

Pick: I don't know. I really have no clue. Give me UGA because the dawgs are on fire with the ball in their hands.

OK State
@ Texas (-5)

Nerd Fact #1: Texas only having a -5 spread against an unranked team is wild after their performance v LSU who is a top 10 opponent.
Nerd Fact #2: Despite the above fact, Nerd thinks the line is fair.

Pick: *Inhales* THE POKES ARE BEING SLEPT ON AND THEY ARE THE SUPERIOR ORANGE TEAM. OK STATE

BC (-7)
@ Rutgers

Nerd Fact #1: Continuing the dark secrets, I am also a New Jersey native, and Rutgers haunts me.
Nerd Fact #2: I secretly want Rutgers to win just to see this whole website melt down after our loss to BC.

Pick: I want points and BC is going to bounce back on this Rutgers team. Eagles.

Louisville
@ FSU (-8)

Nerd Fact #1: Some people would enjoy putting good teams up here who display a finely tuned performance on the field. I love chaos.
Nerd Fact #2: This may be the strangest year of ACC play we will see for a long time. Someone technically has to win this game.

Pick: Huh. Can I pick no one? No? Fine. I'll pick Florida State. I think they contractually have to look decent in at least one game a year.

App State
@ UNC (-3)

Nerd Fact #1: The Mack Brown hype was good for a hot second, but Vegas don't care bout no hype.
Nerd Fact #2: App State hasn't smacked a fool recently and they are due.

Pick: I wish there was a bigger spread. I really think this App State team keeps things close. Give me UNC. I hate saying that.

ODU
@ Virginia (-30.5)

Nerd Fact #1: There are more VT and WVU fans in the search results for "Virginia Fans" then there are UVA fans.
Nerd Fact #2: I love throwing these emotional trap picks in weekly. But holy shit that is a huge spread.

Pick: ODU. God, I don't know if I am picking outright or covering. UVA is averaging ~38 ppg. 52 of those came against W&M. If the Monarchs can score twice, I think they cover.

****
SUMMARY

The Drunk Irishmen v The Dawgs (-14)
POKES v HOOK'EM (-5)
NJ Natives in Boston (-7) v NJ Natives in NJ
The Birds with Teeth v Free Snowcrabs University (-8)
The Good Mountaineers v The Fighting Browns (-3) [Don't think that name will stick]
VA State Champs v VA State Chumps (-30.5)

****
Beer of the Week:

WHITE CLAW!

Just kidding

That's all folks. I have to go play some fantasy fantasy football. Nerd Out.
