Week 6 Recap / Week 7 Picks

A winning record for the third straight week is good, but it still doesn't change the fact that I'm under .500 as of now. Auburn, Titans, and Philly all looked great last week, but I don't plan on picking any of them in this upcoming week. With that being said, here's what I'm going with.

NCAA Picks

Oklahoma -3 over Missouri - Missouri has looked great so far this year with a 6-0 record, but they haven't been challenged like they're about to be this Saturday versus a very athletic Oklahoma squad. Both teams put a good amount of points ( both over 30 ppg) and both defenses let up less than 20 ppg. With that being said, I like Oklahoma to remain #1 and take care of Missouri.



Iowa - 5.5 over Wisconsin -  Iowa is at home, are 4-1 against the spread this year, and they have the best defensive line in the country who are more than capable of containing Wisconsin's powerful running game. I don't expect this game to be very high scoring, but I do expect Iowa to come out on top.

NFL Picks

Cowboys - 3 over Giants - The Cowboys literally have no choice but to win this game. It's pretty simple if they lose, they're almost certainly not going to make the playoffs this season and a whole lot of players and coach's will be looking for jobs.  Every single one of there loses this season has come by 7 or less points which is unacceptable. Every week they have found a new way to shoot themselves in the foot, they have got to clean it up.  It's at home and it is the Monday Night Football game this week so once again the pressure is on, but in the end,  the Cowboys will finally get themselves on the right track.



Patriots + 3 over Chargers - The Pats have looked great as of late, while the Chargers have looked like a complete mess. They have been facing a lot of injuries, and with WR Vincent Jackson still holding out, I don't think they have enough weapons on offense to even beat the Patriots, let alone getting the Patriots with 3 points.

Lock of The Week

Michigan State - 5.5 over Northwestern -  Michigan State's last 3 opponents have been vs Illinois, at Michigan, and vs Wisconsin, and they beat all of those teams by 10 or more points. They have shown time and time again that they are a talented team and they find a way to get it done each and every week, and I don't see that changing this week either.

Michigan State 35                     Northwestern 27                W
