With a grain of salt...


Nothing like a 4-0 week to get us in the green! Feels good to be on the plus side



Connors' Week Six Picks
W-Kstate +9.5
W-Ark +17
W- UM/NW Over
W-CMU +7.5

Connors' 2015 Record
Overall - 12-10 (55%)
Last Week - 4-0 (100%)
Lock of Week - 3-3 (50%)


Take the Week 7 picks with a grain of salt.  I will actually be in northern michigan this weekend on a camping trip, so I won't be watching any games.  

West Virginia/Baylor - Under 80 -  The shoe finally falls on Baylor's offense.  I see this game ending two ways. 1- Baylor gets high 40's and WVU just cant keep up and and loses something like 49-21.  Or Baylor, finally playing a defense, has trouble scoring and the game is something like 35-31. Either way it is under.  If you play this game wait til Saturday, it will continue to go up.

Florida/LSU Under 47.5- I can't see Florida going into LSU with a new QB and scoring much on this LSU team, conversely I don't see LSU getting much on this Florida defense.  See a 20-10 type game out of this one.

UM/MSU- Over 40.5- MSU's defense will give up one long td (as they are prone to do) and UM will get some scoring drives.  MSU offense will have a couple of long drives and get some points. MSU's special teams are terrible and UM will get a cheapy TD (FG block, punt return, etc).  Game will finish somewhere around 24-20, maybe a bit higher.

Final Note: Isn't it great having an MSU/UM game mean something in October.  The only thing I ask is that the fans embrace this like an Auburn/Bama type rivalry where we don't act like the loser is going to be terrible for the next decade.  I for one want UM to be good each year along with State to make this game mean something each year.  Let's enjoy it, winners get to brag for a year and we come back next year with another big game.  Might be tough next year with MSU losing Cook and Michigan having 17 of their 22 starters as seniors.  I think MSU pulls out a close one this year.  I will always have faith in the better QB and have't seen UM in a close game in the 4th and trust Cook more than Ruddock to pull one out, but I won't be surprised if either team won.

MSU- 27 UM -23 (not a pick for the stream)

GO GREEN GO WHITE!

Congratulations on picking that U-M MSU score exactly! It is no surprise that the greatest game picker on this site is a Spartan.
