Week 6 picks

Alright kids, I'm hoping that this week, without the benefit(detriment) of a homeriffic anchor, I can turn things around and drop a sexy 5-0 on you kids. Let's jump right in and pick some games.

#1 Florida (-7.5) @ #4 LSU (note, this line came from sportsbook as centsports doesn't have it up yet)
Pick: LSU +7.5
As of right now, there are too many questions surround Florida and the QB position. In all honesty, Tebow probably shouldn't play after that nassssssty concussion inducing pinball shot he took between the untouched blitz and his lineman's knee. HOWEVAH, it's more likely that the decision will be left in Tebow's hands. The dude is a flat out gamer and there is maybe a snowball's chance in hell of him sitting out against a top 5 rival if he gets to make the call. Even if he doesn't play, the backup Brantley is a hell of a QB. Originally he had committed to Texas, but seeing the writing on the wall, decided he'd rather be a Gator. Brantley comes in with a good pedigree and a plethora of state HS records. While he isn't a human/rhino hybrid, he can get the job done. All that being said, Les Miles is having one of those years where all of his insanely ballsy play calls work. The talent level on this team is very high, especially at RB. Throw in the fact that this game is being played at Death Valley, I think more than a TD is too much to cover. Tigah bait tigah bait tigah bait.

#3 Alabama (-5.5) @ #20 Ole Miss
Pick: Bama -5.5
So many SEC home dogs, so little time apparently. This matchup would've been much more exciting had the Rebs not been exposed a few weeks back. I don't think Ole Miss has a shot in this ballgame. Saban's D is absurdly talented and they will just grind you into a pulp. My only fear is that Bama grinds this game down so much they don't cover the 5.5. That being said, Nick Saban, Roll Tide.

Michigan @ #12 Iowa (-8)
Pick: Michigan +8
Yes, Michigan grossly trapped me last week. It wasn't even a good one, it looked like something Wily Coyote would've set up with poorly painted signs and Acme bombs easily visible. Yet I happily skipped right into the middle of the trap and got clowned. Sloppy conditions slowed Michigan's new lifeblood in Tate Forcier, yet they still damn near pulled it off. As for Iowa, they are good, they could very well win this, and probably should. But they don't beat people by 8 points. If it's 3-2, they are happy. 8 is WAYYYY too much. Points me.

Colorado @ #2 Texas (-32)
Pick: Texas -32
We haven't had a huge crazy line in awhile it feels like, so why not. This would typically seem like too many points for a conference game, but Colorado is flat out miserable at football. This may be Big XII football, but they look more like they are playing intramurals. Texas knows how to put up points and should give Colt a nice little boost for his Heisman campaign in this one.

#13 Oregon (-3.5) @ UCLA (Again from sportsbook)
Pick: UCLA +3.5
With LaGarrette Blount still suspended for the time being, the Ducks offense now rests firmly on the shoulders of QB Jeremiah Masoli. However, we don't know how healthy Masoli is. From what I've seen in reports and on Twitter (if you are on there hit me up @NDEddieMac), the Ducks want to limit Masoli, using him only if necessary. So missing the top 2 players from the offense, and on the road, there is way too much going against the Fighting Nikes for me this week.

Are you ready to jump on board the comeback train kids? Do your dirty work in the comments. Also, just as a heads up, you have to pick the lines I picked against. Sure, lines change, but this is the only way to keep everyone on an even playing field. Go get em
