Central Michigan @ Kentucky (-10.5): Normally I try not to pick games of the teams I actually like, but I'm making exceptions this week. Kentucky beat Western Kentucky 14-3 in a game that was every bit as exciting as a 14-3 game sounds. I say the Cats respond this week, maybe by even scoring more than 2 touchdowns.
The Pick: Kentucky 28-14
Mississippi State @ Auburn (+6.0): You'd think winning a game 156-9 last week would prove how great your team is. But when the team on the end of that beat down is Memphis, you have take it with a grain of salt, because Memphis could make a broken toaster look good. Auburn somehow
The Pick: Mississippi State 31-28
Alabama @ Penn State (+10.5): Alabama's defense looked pretty stout last weekend against some team from the Midwest. The Crimson Tide travel to Happy Valley now to face the Nittany Lions in a battle of odd colors. JoePa is coaching from the
The Pick: Alabama 28-10
Cincinnati @ Tennessee (-4.5): One of my other rules is try not to pick games involving teams I can't stand. We're making an exception this week. It's Bruce Pearl Bobblehead Day at Neyland. The first 25,000 fans get a free bobblehead and barbecue book signed by Bruce himself.
The Pick: Cincinnati 27-23
Memphis @ Arkansas State (-17.0): I can't believe the line on this one. (Thinks back to last week.) Oh, wait, yes I can.
The Pick: Arkansas State 42-20
Game of the Week:
Notre Dame @ Michigan (+3.5): We'll call this one the Lightning Bowl, since both teams were affected by storms last Saturday. The University of Michigan finally joins the 20th century by adding a night game for the first time ever. Notre Dame is still overrated.
The Pick: Michigan 35-28
There you have it, ladies and gents. 6 games. 6 picks. 6 chances to ruin your kid's college savings.
