# 6 Pick; Blatz, Milwaukee’s Finest ….Ohio State @ Purdue +31: OSU has not won in West Lafayette in six years and the Boilers & Bucks have split the last 4 games and in fact, Purdue should have won 3 of the last four!! Last year at the Shoe’, Purdue led 22-14 with 47 seconds left to play and Braxton Miller was out with an injury. Kenny Guiton’s last minute heroics saved the day for the Bucks! Purdue has had two weeks to get ready for this game and these Purdue players have had success against OSU! Sully’s CFP says; take the points, Purdue and Boil-up!
# 5 Pick: Miller Lite .. Great Taste Less Filling … Miami @ Florida State -22: FSU & Miami players are all to familiar with one another, their will be little to no intimidation in this encounter, just a ton of trash being spewed. In the last five meetings, while FSU has won 4, they covered this 22 point spread once, in 2010, 45-17! Last year, FSU won 33-20; in 2011, FSU 23 Miami 19, in 2009 Miami won, 38-34; & in 2008, FSU 41 Miami 39! Sully’s CFP page says: FSU wins but does not cover… Take the 22 & the Canes!
# 4 Pick: Bud Lite … Here We Go! Minnesota @ Indiana -9.5: This game is usually played because it is scheduled … meaning it has no meaningful part to play in the conference race and little to very little interest for Big Ten fans. Not this time! Indiana comes into the contest with the 10th best offense in the country & Minnesota is 6-2 with a major victory over Nebraska last week, 34-23. Sully’s CFP says; 9.5 is to many, take the Gophers & the points
# 3 Pick: Michelob … Crafting a Better Beer … Navy @ ND O/U 48.5: ND comes into this game having scored 50 and 56 against Navy in their last two meetings. Navy scored 41 against Indiana, 44 against Toledo, and upset Pitt last week, 24-21! Sully’s CFP says, Take the over and book another trip to Ireland!
# 2 Pick: Harp, An Irish Lager;.. Drink with the Angels .. Illinois @ PSU -10 Penn State will show up in this game with a quiet determination to remind Coach Beckman & the Illini how they kicked them (the Lions being kicked by the Illini) when they were down for the sanction count last year. You may not remember, but Coach O’Brien has clear memories of Illinois coming to Pennsylvania to try and influence PSU players to transfer to Champaign. Contrast that with Northwestern’s Coach saying they supported PSU recovery and would not be actively recruiting any players from PSU. After last year’s game (a 35-7 pounding of Illinois by Penn State) O’Brien refused to shake hands with Beckman and now the Illini team travels to Happy Valley to play in front of 106,000 avenging souls. Sully’s CFP says; Take PSU and give the Illini the ten!
#1 Pick: Guinness … Here’s to Life ..Virginia Tech -4.5 @ BC: Virginia Tech is coming off a tough loss to Duke, 13-10, the Hokies had beaten Duke 10 straight by an average of 21 points. BC is coming off a 34-10 tail whipping by UNC, a team that Va Tech beat earlier in the year, 28-13. Sully’s CFP says; take the Hokies and give the Eagles the 4.5!
Sully’s CFP is currently 30-24 against the Spread
