Today's Picks

I’m the celebrity guest picker at noon today on AM 680 the Fan’s Georgia Tech pregame show. Listen in or watch on the app or website.

Not sure which five games I’m picking, but here are some of the top games.

OHIO STATE @ ILLINOIS.

The Illini are #17, but the Buckeyes will come in win without much trouble.

OKLAHOMA VS TEXAS

My daughter in law graduated from Oklahoma. The Longhorns have more problems besides Arch Manning. The Sooners are undefeated, and should get their quarterback back for today’s game. I don’t see Texas pulling it all together this week. Boomer Sooner – Arch and Texas lose another one.

BAMA @ MISSOURI

I got the scoop on this game listening to Chuck & Chernoff yesterday. Mizzou wins the games they’re supposed to win, but never pulls off an upset. Roll Tide.

#7 INDIANA @ #3 OREGON

Are the Hoosiers the team that will knock off the Ducks? They beat Iowa and Illinois. I’m just not sure they’re ready to travel cross country and pull off the upset. Oregon beat Penn State and had a bye week. They’ll be ready. Give me the Ducks.

GEORGIA @ AUBURN

Two of my kids are Georgia graduates. Always a close game, especially on the road. Dawgs are one dropped pass from being undefeated. The War Eagles will play zone to slow down Gunner Stockton’s passing. I’m not sure the Tigers can stop Georgia’s run game. My son in law said Auburn would cover but Georgia would win. Sorry Tech fans, I’m picking the Dawgs.

GEORGIA TECH VS VIRGINIA TECH  

Tech is undefeated, but have they played anyone? They were lucky to get out on Winston Salem with a win. I'm not sure who Tech is just yet.

Virginia Tech fired their coach, and seems to be on the uptick. The Jackets need to have a big game. They need the rest of the offense to take some of the load off Haynes King. Today is the day. The Hokies will keep it close in the first half, but the Jackets will pull away to win big.
