Week 6 picks

Empty your 401(k) here:

Auburn +10 at Arkansas

If the Tigers didn't prove last week that their national championship hangover has been overplayed, check them out this week. Auburn's even won three of its last four trips to Fayetteville. With comeback wins already against Mississippi State and South Carolina, Auburn has what it takes to at least keep it close. Given last week's late comeback against Texas A&M and the blowout loss to Alabama, how can the Hogs beat anybody by more than 10?

The pick: War Eagle and grab the 10.

It's OK to dip into the spare piggy bank:

Ohio State +11 at Nebraska

Classic let down game for the Cornhuskers, who are coming off a loss at Wisconsin. The Buckeyes, despite the post-Jim Tressel-Tattoo meltdown of the summer, still have a respectable defense. The Buckeyes are still in the top 15 in the country in yards and points allowed. And against a Huskers offense that can be fairly one-dimensional, all they need is a defensive score or two to make this interesting.

The pick: Dot the i on the way to the bank.

Tennessee +1 vs. Georgia

Tennessee needs a signature win to continue in progression back into the elite in the SEC. Georgia has struggled at Neyland Stadium recently. Georgia is without its best pass rusher in Cornelius Washington, who is suspended for an arrest last weekend. Heck, by the fourth quarter, Barbara Dooley might be wearing a headset calling plays.

The pick: Rocky Top will eke out a victory.

Only touch with your father-in-law's cash:

Florida +13.5 at LSU

Les Miles is 1-13 against the spread in SEC games, including last week's ATS loss against Kentucky when the Bayou Bengals led 35-7, but just 14-0 at halftime. Sure, the talk all week has been the injury to John Brantley. The easy pick would be to bail on true freshman replacement Jeff Driskel. But the SEC is tough enough that style points aren't needed. A win is enough, even if it's less than two TDs.

The pick: Chomp your way to a Gator cover.

Last week: 3-1
