Pick 6: Week 3

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 have a look at last weeks results:

Jesus, two out of six?  Nice job, asshole.  Way to clearly differentiate between the journalists and the janitor.  Do you guys need me to empty the trash for you?  Fuck.

In my defense I was looking at sweet, beautiful .500 until Michigan State jumped offside and gave CMU a 2nd chance to hit the over.  Way to get it done, Sparty.    

Other highlights included Minnesota coming out of nowhere to shock the #1 team in the nation, so three of us got burned on that one.  And OPS and HS both took jNU to cover, which ended in them both eating a shit sandwich. 

Which leads me to Gambling Golden Rule #1:  Never fucking bet on jNorthwestern.

This week's picks after the jump.

Star-divide

We're adding a new facet to Pick 6 this week by bringing in a commentor off the streets to join in on the festivities.  You know him as The Mexican't.....and from the looks of it he's making his picks by closing his eyes and randomly pointing at teams.  (This, remember, is coming from the guy who took Wisconsin to cover last week even though their entire team had swine flu.)

WEEK 3

Which reminds me of Gambling Golden Rule #2:  If jNU only needs to cover 3 points against Syracuse, it's ok to pick them.

Not to change the subject...but

any word on Bulaga and Moeaki?

Zed: You could be my right-hand man.
Oh: I've seen what you do with your right hand. No, thank you.

Bulaga and Moeaki kind of sounds

like a mix of Filipino food with champagne.

Zed: You could be my right-hand man.
Oh: I've seen what you do with your right hand. No, thank you.

So you'll be making the trek to IC on Oct 10

to provide Bulaga and Moeaki’s at the BlackHeartGoldTailgate?

As of yesterday, still day-to-day

which usually means doubtful. Moeaki’s sprained ankle was from UNI week, though, so you’d presume he’d be OK to play.

Before you respond, let me remind you: Brian Cook called me smug, which makes me the Obama of smugness. I'm basically Smugbama.

Moeaki out a blessing in disguise?

Maybe Stanzi stops forcing passes in to him, since he’s not on the field, and looks at other options downfield?

by YouCanPutYourEddsInIt on Sep 18, 2009 12:26 PM CDT up reply actions  

That would be alright.

But if he can play, I’d like to have him out there blocking if nothing else. He’s a beast on the edge.

by RossWB on Sep 18, 2009 1:26 PM CDT up reply actions  

Or terrible news

Because if he still forces passes to Moeaki, they’ll all go out of bounds and we won’t do points-scoring. :-(

I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks

Think I saw Moeaki this morning on my way to class...

he was on a scooter and his ankle wasn’t taped so…..I don’t know what that means.

No love for Indiana getting points?

Comcast says they still have Antwaan Randel-El and James Hardy.

No self-respecting man from Iowa goes anywhere without beer

by Hayden Fry's Moustache Ride on Sep 18, 2009 3:35 PM CDT reply actions  

He's out this week with a crampy heel.

But watch out for this young kid they have named Vaughan Dunbar. S’posed to be a helluva RB. He might finally see the field on Saturday. Well, if Coach Wyche lets him, of course.

by Bucketochicken on Sep 18, 2009 3:52 PM CDT up reply actions  

Correct me if I'm wrong

but isn’t the head coach of the Crimson and Cream a young whipper-snapper by the name of Lee Corso?

by Pubes in Pink Urinals on Sep 18, 2009 4:51 PM CDT up reply actions  

No actually

Gary DiNardo has replaced him and is pulling double duty for the Hoosiers and BTN

by shada's revenge on Sep 18, 2009 5:13 PM CDT up reply actions  

Oh that's right. My bad.

That Corso kid has a bright future. He’s not at all a penis.
