Pick 6 Week 4 - I'll Pay You, Like, Tuesday and Sh-t

 

 

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 week's results: 

 

THE WEEK 3 TOTEM POLE OF WINS

Week4totempole_medium 

 

One.  Fucking.  Win.  Another stellar performance by the Professor of Pigshit, HFMR. 

Before you start giving me the Monday Morning Quarterback routine, remember that you, the BHGP reader, voted that Indiana as a 4 1/2 point underdog was the WORST bet on the board.  They won by 17.  So...shut up.  You were right on Eastern Michigan and jNWU, though, so you clearly still know more than me and I will gladly accept your advice moving forward.

Big shout-out to our first guest, The MexiCan'tPickWorthAShit, for only beating me by one game.  Thanks for not rubbing it in. 

On the other end of the spectrum, where people know things, Hawkeye State came away with an impressive 5-1 mark with his only loss coming on the Purdue over.  None of us expected Purdue to shit the bed like that, though, as we all took them to cover or at least hit the over.

Anyway, another week means another chance for me to show how little I know about things not related to drawing dicks.  This week we're adding another angle to our picks: the lock.  We each took a bet as the one we would wager a testicle on, which is unfair because our guest picker this week, CUNKNNK, has three.  And that extra dangler might come in handy, because he went with Indiana +21 at Michigan as his lock.  He said he smells a letdown.  I think OPS just needs to do his sock laundry. 

Without further ado.....the grid. (locks in bold)

Get to your bookie.  Now.  In case you need help figuring out whose picks to roll with, the overall standings are after the jump....

Is it too late to join this party?

Because my (total fluke) win in last year’s BHGP Pick ’Em totally means I should be allowed in.

I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.

is a horrible line. this had to have moved by now.

psu hasn’t covered once this year. take it down to -6-7

Opened at -11 and has been dropping

But it’s still at -9.5

Mmm

Despite the negativity of Boiled Sports, I have a good, good feeling about that one.

DO YOU HAVE PRIDE, DANNY?

I lost all faith in Purdue after they shit all over themselves against No. Illinois last week.

Clausen sounds like he’s going to play and they still have enough weapons on offense to put up a lot of pts on Purdue.

I guess the real question is whether or not their shitty defense can stop Purdue enough to cover that spread.

I keep thinking about '97 tho

Purdue lost to Toledo the week before they beat Notre Dame.

That defense is crap, Purdue can move the ball on them.

Forget 97

think Big 12 last year. I don’t believe either team will stop the other. Whatever the over is, it’s too low

It never gets to be easy

Even with those injuries

Notre Dame still moved the ball at will against MSU in the second half. Purdue was down 28-7 at one point against a MAC team, and that 7 was scored on a punt return.

Take Notre Dame, and laugh to the bank.

For the record I do not have 3 testicles.

I have 4. And yes it takes balls to bet on Indiana…not that there is money involved…just the hit a person’s pride takes when you say, “Give me Indiana” takes an extra set of stones.

Give the ball to Brandon "wond3RBoy" Wegher!

Play of the Week

The money line should post up around Iowa +300. Jump on it. It’s gonna give a whole new meaning to “come to Penn Schtaaaate”.

2-4? Hell, I must've misread my picks.

I thought I’d missed on all but the obvious selection (Iowa).
