WEEK 6 #VIEWERSGUIDE

Last Week: 10-11, lost 4 brutal ones close
Total: 23-29, you'd make money if you bet against me. BUT NOT THIS UPCOMING WEEK

It's a BYE Week for the Tar Heels but there's plenty of ball for us now interested Carolina college football fans to tune into. It all starts tomorrow night

Thursday Night

From the looks of the lines on the two games to turn into, I wouldn't expect much...

• SMU (+26) at Houston - 8pm - The Deuce
• Two middle tier programs who I both believed made slam dunk hires do battle in AAC action on this Thursday night. College Football fans should get used to seeing the names Chad Morris (SMU Coach) and Tom Herman (Houston Coach). These two are gonna be coaches at big time schools in the next few years. Bank on it.
• Washington (+17) at Southern Cal - 9pm - The Mothership
• Prolly not the safest pick I've ever made, but this game just screams to me as a let down game for SC. Not saying they're gonna loose, just feel like the Trojans won't be interested in playing in the first 35 minutes of game play.

Friday Night Lights

• Southern Miss at Marshall (-5) - 7pm - CBSSN
• Southern Miss is in the middle of a bounce back season after being dreadful the past few years. Marshall's always tough in Huntington so I'm taking the Herd and the points.
• Virginia Tech (+2) vs NC State - 8pm - The Mothership
• This game is make or break time for the Hokies and for the Pack. Going with my heart on this one. Night games in Blacksburg are always LIT and I refuse to put money on any team named NC State.

Football Saturday

High Nooners

• Illinois (+11) at Iowa - High Noon - The U
• Both teams have been big surprises in the Big Ten as both have challenged Wisconsin and Nebraska for the top spots. This one could go a long way in determining who plays in Indy.
• Red River Rivalry (Oklahoma -17) - High Noon - ABC
• This wont be a war like it's been in the past. I expect Texas to put up an early fight but then for Oklahoma to boat race them in the second 30 minutes.
• Indiana at Penn State (Pick Em) - High Noon - The Deuce
• Two surprising teams in the B1G East that could ruffle feathers going forward face in an essential knock out game for the B1G race.
• UVA at Pitt (-9) - ACC Network/ESPN3
• The #MikeLondonFarewellTour Stop this week can be found in my current town as Pitt looks to feast on a UVA team that hasnt won a road game in 3 years. LOL

Mid Afternooners

• Northwestern (+8) at Michigan - 3:30pm - B1G Network
• The best game of the segment's in the B1G. This should be a good'n and I don't expect a whole lotta points to be scored.
• Georgia Tech at Clemson (-7) - 3:30pm - ABC/Deuce Combo
• I honestly had GT winning this game prior to the season starting, as I got lost in the hype surrounding a very overrated Georgia Tech squad. Clemson's off a war against ND where the showed no killer instinct. Saturday they repeat failing to show that instinct but talent alone carries them past a well overmatched GT squad.
• Navy (+14.5) at Notre Dame - 3:30pm - NBC
• NAVY ALWAYS GIVES ND A CHALLENGE. 
• UGA (-2.5) at Tennessee - 3:30pm - CBS WITH VERNE
• Despite Georgia pulling a Georgia this past weekend, I have zero faith in Butch Jones finishing a ball game right now. 
• Sakerlina vs LSU (-13) - 3:30 - The Deuce, Games in Baton Rouge
• Lot more's important in South Carolina than the ball game that was moved to Baton Rouge. Thoughts and prayers are with the folks suffering from the devastating floods. I'd love to see ole Spurrier pull this one out, and could have seen it had the game been played close to home.

Night Games

• Arkansas (+17) at Bama - The Mothership - 7pm
• A wounded, yet dangerous Arkansas team heads to Bama, a team fresh off a royal ass kickin' of UGA. I expect Bama to be sloppy and the Hawgs to get a back door cover late.
• OK State at West Virginia (-7) - The Deuce - 7pm
• Night game in Morganhole? Gimme WVU and the points.
• TCU at K State (+9) - Fox - 730pm
• Manhattan, Kansas has hosted it's fair share of upsets. I think TCU squeaks this one out but on cannot discount the Manhattan Magic. In Bill Snyder We Trust. Go shake things up in the top 5, Bill. 
• FLOrida at Mizzou (+5) - SEC Network - 730pm
• This game screamssssss of an upset alert. Florida's fresh off an ass kickin of Ole Miss, and Mizzou's hurtin'.... do the math. I see Florida escaping Columbia
• The U (+9) at Florida State - ABC - 8pm 
• I'm of the party who thinks the game should be a good one. Miami got caught looking ahead this past weekend and Florida State has failed to impress so far this year outside of Dalvin Cook. Cook's hurt so I'm not loving the Noles. 

Late Night

• Cal (+8) at Utah - The Mothership - 10pm
• Two of the undefeated teams left in the Pac 12 mess do battle in a game that has much bigger implications than many thought it would at the start of the year. Winner gets a huge leg up in the Pac 12 race.

I'll be NYC this weekend for an overdue college bro reunion. Expect fire big city takes on the twittersphere as I drink my way around a concrete jungle.

Enjoy
