Clay’s 2024 CFB Week 6 Picks
This week’s slate is rough to say the least.
I have also preached/teached 4 different talks in 4 wildly different environments this week. Long story short, this brain is content shot. However, I still want to keep writing my picks. So let’s rapid fire a bunch of one sentence picks with no edits so I can go to bed.
SMU (4-1) at No. 22 Louisville (-6.5), Noon, ESPN
While SMU lives in the land of the extremes, Jeff Brohm doesn’t.
Pick: Louisville -6.5
No. 9 Missouri at No. 25 Texas A&M (-2.5), Noon, ABC
Missouri’s performances against P4 teams have been lacking, they can’t afford that kind of performance against A&M.
Pick: Texas A&M -2.5
No. 12 Ole Miss (-8.5) at South Carolina, 3:30 p.m., ESPN
Last week was a wake up call for Ole Miss.
Pick: Ole Miss -8.5
Iowa (3-1) at No. 3 Ohio State (4-0), 3:30 p.m., CBS
Iowa mucks it up juuuuuuuuuust enough against Walker Howard to cover, but the game won’t be close.
Pick: Iowa +19.5
Rutgers at Nebraska (-7), 4 p.m., FS1
This feels like the same script as Iowa vs. Ohio State.
Pick: Rutgers +7
No. 4 Tennessee (-13.5) at Arkansas (3-2), 7:30 p.m., ABC
Tennessee could be caught in a look ahead situation, but coming off of a bye helps.
Pick: Tennessee -13.5
No. 10 Michigan at Washington (-1.5), 7:30 p.m., NBC
I don’t trust teams that can’t throw at a loud road environment.
Pick: Washington -1.5
UCF (-2.5) at Florida, 7:45 p.m., SEC Network
Napier is coaching for his life.
Pick: Florida +2.5
No. 8 Miami (-10.5) at Cal, 10:30 p.m., ESPN
ACC after dark… enough said.
Pick: Cal +10.5
Texas Tech at Arizona (-6.5), 11 p.m., Fox
Big 12 after dark… enough said.
Pick: Texas Tech +6.5
