Pick 6 - Week 11: Now I know why they call it handicapping

Welcome to this week's Pick 6, where we analyze the lines for the weekend's Big Ten games and each pick 6 of our favorite bets.  If you've been paying attention each week, you know better than to actually put money on these picks so I don't even see a point in having a disclaimer anymore. 

 
First let's take a look at last week's results:

I don't even know what to say at this point.  It's like these teams are doing the opposite of what they're supposed to do just to spite me.  Thanks to FossilHawk for coming in and beating us at our own game.  Sort of like a high school senior playing a group of kindergartners in dodgeball.  Thanks a lot, you fucking bully.

This week we've got Eubanks on board, who assured me that he sucks at dodgeball.  He did, however, inform me that when he makes picks, they're pretty much all locks.  I like his enthusiasm. 

Oh, and this week we have also brought balance to the force by including StoopsMyAss.  My guess is that he will surpass my total amount of wins for the year within 2 weeks. 

Here's the grid:

Okay...

what was I thinking? Picking the over as my lock in the MSU/Purdue game?

MSU has had to score to beat people (poor Kirk Cousins is like the Christian Ponder of the Big Ten). Their defense can’t stop the spread, and Purdue’s defense is nothing special either.

Sam Lickliter. Never forgive. Never forget. Beat IU.

Man

unless my brain deceives me (entirely possible), I was an Illinois XP away from going 6-0.

Fucking Zooker.
