2023 PICK 6 WEEK 1 (SEPTEMBER 2-4)

Holy End of the Off-season, Batman! PICK 6 IS BACK!...almost.

Because it's the first week, I figured I'd give everyone some extra time to come out of hibernation and remember that we do this every fall.

Before we get to THE GAMES, I want to be up front that I have not included VT's game against ODU this week. Not that I'm superstitious.

I know a lot of us feel weird picking against the Hokies, so if you want them included in every week there's a spread for the game moving forward, let me know.

I'll be continuing the trend of trying for a decent mix of Top 25, ACC, P5, and G5 games with compelling spreads each week. Remember, the team with a (-X) has to win by more than that amount to beat the spread if you select them. The other team doesn't have to win, necessarily, just not suck as much as Vegas thinks they will.

Ok! That's enough ado! Onto

THE GAMES

LOLuva at (12) Tennessee (TENN -27.5)

Does LOLuva suck as much as we think or somehow even more? Only time will tell unless you can read paver shards like tea leaves.

Boise State at (10) Washington (WASH -14.5)
Since the PAC After Dark's days are probably numbers, I guess we're going to have to settle for MWC at Midday

UTSA at Houston (Hou -0.5)
Roadrunners or Coyo-I mean- Cougars.

(21) UNCheat at USCeast (UNCheat -2.5)
Does Brown's pacemaker still have to be wound up after every quarter or has he upgraded to a model with one of those gyroscopic watch stands?

(5) LSU at (8) FSU (LSU -2.5)
No one's more nervous during hurricane season than the LSU grad assistants. Except whoever bets on FSU to stay in the Top 10 for the entire year.

(9) Clemson at Duke (CU -12.5)
I'm sorry but I have a hard time believing an ACC team is Top 10 material.

SUMMARY
LOLuva at (12) Tennessee (TENN -27.5)
Boise State at (10) Washington (WASH -14.5)
UTSA at Houston (Hou -0.5)
(21) UNCheat at USCeast (UNCheat -2.5)
(5) LSU at (8) FSU (LSU -2.5)
