I'M A WINNER. YOU'RE A WINNER

Dialing up the dollars!

Everyone's a winner!

Especially if you followed our picks last week as we went 6-2 including a tasty UPSET SPECIAL pick with Washington State upsetting #5 Southern Cal.

So, as we enter Week Six, we're sitting at 70% on total WINNERS in the 2017 Season. And that adds up to a whole lotta cha ching.

We have another weekend of great games. Which means another chance for great gains (see what we did there?).

CATCHING UP WITH K-PATCH KARL

Killing it with Karl

We've received a ton of positive feedback on K-Patch Karl so we've asked him to pen a few words about a potential coaching change in Knoxville.

WWW: Have you changed your mind about Butch Jones yet?
KARL: No, sir, not yet.
WWW: How long have you been feeling this way?
KARL: Quite a spell, I reckon.

WWW: So you think Tennessee ought to fire Butch?
KARL: You know better than that. You ought not say that word.
WWW: What word? Fire?
KARL: Hmmghm.

WWW: Have you figured out what's wrong with the Tennessee offense? It won't crank but everything seems to be put together right.
KARL: It ain't got no gas in it. Hmmmghm.

GREAT EIGHT™ for WEEK SIX

What comes first? Stroke or Firing?

LSU @ #21 FLORIDA...things aren't that rosy in Baton Rouge as rumors are flying about Orgeron's future as head coach. Sorry Tiger fans. You're stuck with Crazy Ed because barring any weird act of perversion and morals clause violation, no university wants to be known as the school that ditches its head coach less than one year on the job, especially after running off the successful Les Miles last season. With that as a back drop, Coach O has his work cut out for him as LSU scrambles to find itself after getting physically whipped by lowly Troy. Meanwhile, Florida, still without the "missing nine", are returning to their freshman QB Franks after Luke Del Rio suffered yet another injury. This will be a good one to watch. Gators chomps the Tigers in the Swamp.

#22 NOTRE DAME @ NORTH CAROLINA...we don't think the Irish will be the least bit intimidated playing on the road at Kenan Stadium. It was quite obvious last week that the Tar Heels (1-4) are missing a ton of play makers as they struggled with Georgia Tech, and this Saturday doesn't get any easier. The spread is pretty tempting (17 points) but we think Notre Dame takes care of business pretty quickly in Chapel Hill. Irish shear the Tar Heels.

Miami Vice: Bulldog to Badass

#13 MIAMI @ FLORIDA STATE...the undefeated Canes are chomping at the bit to finally clobber the Noles (1-2) after losing 7 straight to FSU. Mark Richt seems to have his Canes finally moving in the right direction and has two really strong running backs at his disposal: Mark Walton and Travis Homer. This game is a toss up but we like Miami. Hurricanes storm through Tallahassee.

MARYLAND @ #10 OHIO STATE...the Terps have been averaging over 38 points per game. But their defense has been yielding 30 points. Meanwhile the Buckeyes defense has been stingy; giving up just 16 points per game. But this Terp team is not the same team that was clobbered 62-3 last season so we expect a much more competitive game at Ohio Stadium, especially after two strong road wins at Texas and Minnesota. Will Ohio State "Fear the Turtle"? Doubtful, since the Buckeyes have the 5th rated offense in America. Put your bucks on the Buckeyes.

#16 WASHINGTON STATE @ OREGON...the Cougars are undefeated (5-0) as they roll into Autzen Stadium, one of the tougher venues in which to play as a visitor. The Ducks (4-1) high flying offense (averages 537 yards per game) is banged up and will probably have to go with their third team qb, true frosh Braxton Burmeister. That's tough duty when you consider WSU's top rated pass defense in the Pac 12, and the Cougar offense is led by qb Luke Falk who is second in the conference in passing stats and has a deadly 75% completion rate. Count of the Cougars to ground the Ducks.

#1 ALABAMA @ TEXAS A&M...we heard earlier this week that Nick Saban's standard of success is when opponents hate playing Alabama, especially in the 4th quarter after getting physically beat on the entire game. Saturday, the Tide will have another opportunity of pounding an opponent when they  take on the Aggies in College Station. After blowing a 44-10 lead over UCLA, the Aggies have quietly won their last 4 games including wins over South Carolina and Arkansas. Despite Bama's dominance, we can't ignore the 25 point spread. Bama wins but fails to cover. So take the Aggies and the points in an UPSET SPECIAL.

No bro love here.

MICHIGAN STATE @ #7 MICHIGAN...the Spartans are trying to rebound from their disastrous 3-9 season in 2016 and are off to a good start, although a couple of their wins have been over relatively weak teams (Bowling Green, Western Michigan). And this is their FIRST road game...and at the Big House! Ouch. And the first time ever that these two teams play at night. Although the Wolverines will rely on back up qb John O'Korn, the Maize and Blue should turn Sparty black and blue. Wolverines bite the Spartans.

#8 WISCONSIN @ NEBRASKA...the table is set for this game. Nebraska has a string of 358 sellouts dating back to 1962. Both are the only undefeated teams in the Big 10 West. No love between these schools. Zero. Zilch. Nada. Oh. And it's a night game in Lincoln and nobody has beaten the Huskers at night in Lincoln since 2008 (memo to Nebraska: maybe think about playing all your games at night. Just a suggestion). After a poor start losing to Oregon and Northern Illinois, the Huskers are trying to right the ship and reduce the flames on Coach Riley's butt. The Badgers have won four in a row over the Bug Eaters and have one of the tougher defenses in America. And that will win the day (or night) for Wisconsin. Badgers bite the Huskers in Lincoln.
