OT: Six Pick Week 5, 2020 Edition

No perfect weeks last week either. Congrats to 2Hokiesin1 (second time) and brnse for leading the charge at 5-1 last week. 2Hokiesin1 leads the season with 17.

Getting into the meat of the season. Every week matters this year. And this week, all home teams are favorites. 6 Road Dogs! And we've got 4 ACC matchups this week.
Time to get into the Fif week!

NCState @ Virginia (-9.5)
The wolfpack squeaked out a close one last week in Pitt. Virginia left death valley with an L. Virginia being favored by nearly double digits? Strange times. NC State is averaging 33 points a game. Can the Cavaliers put up 43??? I don't see it happening. Wolfpack

Texas @ Oklahoma (-1.5)
Ah, the good ol Red River Shootout. When was the last time a ticket for this game went for under $100? Strange times. Texas coming off a loss, and Oklahoma coming off two; both named State. If it were Texas STATE, I'd go Longhorns. But think the Sooners find a way to get to 2-2 on the year and cover the 1.5.

Virginia Tech @ North Carolina (-5.5)
Basketball line? Football line? Strange times. I know it's Mack Brown. The Mack Brown. THAT Mack Brown. But I also know the maroon and orange. And we do not go down to no stinkin Tobacco Road Triangle and lose. We pull this bad boy out, and cover it on our side, winning by a TD or more. Let's Go!

Tennessee @ Georgia (-12.5)
What do we have here? Tennessee in the top 15?? Strange times. Does old Rocky Top have anything, on the road, for the team that picked apart the supposed #7 team in the country and held them to 2 field goals? I know 12.5 is a lot, and they may be peeking ahead to Bammer next weekend a tad bit, but feel like the Dawgs get it done this weekend.

Florida State @ Notre Dame (-20.5)
Free Shoes University goes 0-2, and starts the game against Jacksonville State down 21-7 before waking up. Notre Dame is coming off a postponed week do to Covid issues. Strange times. Are they a top 5 team? Only beat Duke by 14...but throttles USF 52-0. FSU outscored JVSU 34-3 in 2.5 quarters last Saturday. I think Notre Dame wins, but doesn't cover. Somewhere in that 18-20 range.

Miami (FL) @ Clemson (14.5)
Gameday. For a Miami game. Strange times indeed. NO. Miami is NOT bak. Clemson will take out something on them. All their pent up everything. All of it. Covering, embarrassing, hanging 50. And that 14.5 is way in the rear view mirror.

Beer of the weekend.
Since we have a nooner. And there's solid football on after our game. Going to go a little lighter on the ABV, and something I can drink throughout the day on Saturday. I'm thinking this;
or this
