Pick 6 - Week 10: It sucks when you lose real-life money
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. It's highly scientific. It's easy money. It's just for fun. So, clearly we are not responsible for you losing your ass off if you take our advice.
First let's take a look at last week's results:
The Week 9 Awesome-Fish Chart of Wins:
First things first, please excuse the ultra-shitty Pick 6 fanshot from last week. My mom was in town and she believes that the internet is the work of satan, so I was forbidden to use it for most of the week. I had said that the first person to leave their 6 picks in the comments would be the guest picker for that week and it seemed that BHGP newbie Tmo87 had beaten everyone to the punch. Unfortunately he chose 7 picks and being the stickler for the rules that I am, I had to award the coveted guest picker of the week award to twsmith23. The only consolation to Tmo87 is that now I won't be ridiculing his 1 correct pick....so congrats on that.
Unfortunately allowing twsmith23 into the ring turned out to be a mistake because he managed to pull 3 correct picks out of his ass to beat the BHGP experts (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA). Needless to say, this was a tough week of betting. A co-worker of mine was in Vegas last weekend, so I asked him to drop money for me on the 3 bets that I thought were un-fucking-losable: the Iowa under, MSU to cover vs Decker-less Minnesota, and Michigan to cover against the shitholiest team in the Big Ten. Ugh. Fuck my face.
On a more positive note, the guest pickers have pushed their "locks" to 7-0. I know nobody wants to be the one to fuck that record up. So with that.....this week's guest picker is FossilHawk, who in case you haven't noticed is the one who has been putting together the brilliant game in pictures post each week and also coined the phrase, "Fuck you, we're Iowa." Thanks for being here, FossilHawk, and I wish you the same amount of luck as I wish upon Mike Kafka. So without further nothingness, the grid:

Look at those big, beautiful, bold locks flapping in the wind, holy geez I wanna lick 'em.
As always, feel free to tell us why our picks are destined to fail and post your own below.

Fuck you, we're Iowa...
…is my favorite saying from this season, even though I live in Florida.
Nice work FossilHawk!

I think
Under for the PSU – OSU game is good pick!! 2 Stout D’s in Happy Valley = low scoring. i.e. Iowa vs Penn State 31 points. Look for more of the same this weekend, especially with OSU’s fairly unexplosive Offense (minus last weekend).

D'oh, comment below was meant to be a reply.
Just had the wrong game that week. The Illinois game was a push that week. (Illinois (+10) @ Purdue, I think) I don’t know how well my week of 2-3-1 stacked up.

I really thought about it for the OSU/PSU game.

Whoo Hoo Bitches!! I won!!
I’d like to thank myself for being hungover and waking up early, and also Tmo87 for not being able to count.
I’m actually heading to Vegas tonight, I’m sure my stellar .500 record from last week will do me well there…

ILL @ MINN: Over 52
PUR @ MICH: Over 52.5, although there’s a strong possibility that both teams go Yakety Sax in the red zone and we end up with an Auburn-Miss St-style 3-2 slapfight.
WISC @ IND: Wisconsin -10.5
NW @ IOWA: NW +16.5 (Iowa should never, ever be favored by this much this year)
OSU @ PSU: PSU -3.5, under 40
WMU @ MSU: Not touching this with a 39 1/2 foot pole.
