Here are my picks for week six of the 2016 College Football season.

Pick: Georgia Southern
Thursday, October 6th
Temple (3-2; 1-0) at Memphis (3-1; 0-0)- 8:00, ESPN: This is a fun AAC game we have here. Give me the Tigers and their explosive offense at home.
Pick: Memphis
Western Kentucky (3-2; 1-0) at Louisiana Tech (2-3; 1-1)- 8:00, CBSSN: This is a sneaky decent game in the C-USA. This was a tough call, but give me the Bulldogs to pull it out at home.
Pick: Louisiana Tech
Friday, October 7th
(3) Clemson (5-0; 2-0) at Boston College (3-2; 0-2)- 7:30, ESPN: No Clemson-ing with DeShaun Watson folks.
Pick: Clemson
Tulane (3-1; 0-0) at UCF (3-2; 1-0)- 8:00, ESPNU
Pick: UCF
SMU (2-3; 0-1) at Tulsa (3-1; 0-0)- 8:00, ESPN2

Pick: TCU
Iowa (3-2; 1-1) at Minnesota (3-1; 0-1)- 12:00, BTN: The Gophers lost a winnable game in overtime in Happy Valley last week and I believe they'll bounce back here with a win over a struggling Hawkeyes team.
Pick: Minnesota
Maryland (4-0; 1-0) at Penn State (3-2; 1-1)- 12:00, BTN: The unbeaten Terps are a 1-point favorite here in Happy Valley. I don't agree with that line and that will prove it here as the Nittany Lions will hand the Terps their first loss of the season.
Pick: Penn State
Texas (2-2; 0-1) vs (20) Oklahoma (2-2; 1-0)- 12:00, FS1: This game will be played in Dallas at the Cotton Bowl. Will the Longhorns pull the upset for the second straight year? Not so fast. Baker Mayfield leads the way for the Sooners.
Pick: Oklahoma
Notre Dame (2-3) at NC State (3-1; 1-0)- 12:00, ABC: This game is a pick-em (!!) and it shows how much faith people lost in the Irish. I do think the Irish again pull it out to get back to .500 thanks to DeShone Kizer and that explosive offense.

Pick: LSU
Auburn (3-2; 1-1) at Mississippi State (2-2; 1-1)- 12:00, SECN: This was a tough call, but give me the Bulldogs to pull it out at home and it could make Gus Malzhan's seat hotter.

Pick: Pittsburgh
Bowling Green (1-4; 0-1) at Ohio (3-2; 1-0)- 2:00, ESPN3

Pick: Michigan State
(9) Tennessee (5-0; 2-0) at (8) Texas A&M (5-0; 3-0)- 3:30, CBS: This is easily the biggest game of the weekend between these two undefeated teams. ESPN's College GameDay will be on hand for it as well. Expect a lot of points from Joshua Dobbs and Trevor Knight, but I like the "Twelfth Man" of College Station to be the difference.
Pick: Texas A&M
(21) Colorado (4-1; 2-0) at USC (2-3; 1-2)- 4:00, Pac-12N: The Buffaloes are off to a great start and are deservedly ranked, but I like the Trojans and Sam Darnold to get back to the .500 mark.

Pick: Michigan
Texas Tech (3-1; 1-0) at Kansas State (2-2; 0-1)- 7:00, ESPNU: Bill Snyder's defense kept them in the game in Morgantown last week, but they'll lead the Wildcats to a win over a Red Raiders team that has a non-existent defense.

Pick: Miami (FL)
California (3-2; 1-1) at Oregon State (1-3; 0-1)- 9:00, Pac-12N: The Bears have exceeded expectations so far and they better be careful here in Corvallis, but I think the Bears get it done.

2016 MLB Wild Card Game Predictions
Here are my predictions for the 2015 MLB Wild Card games.
American League
October 4th- Baltimore Orioles vs Toronto Blue Jays- 8:00, TBS: Here we got a nice American League East battle between the Orioles, who most pundits picked to finish last in the division and the Bleu Jays, who most pundits picked to finish first in the division before the season started. Marcus Stroman, who's been somewhat disappointing this season takes the bump for Toronto and Chris Tillman, who has been the teams best pitcher for most if not all season goes for Baltimore. Both teams have potent offenses that can both mash the ball out of the park. The bullpens for both teams aren't bad, either but the Orioles have the better closer in Zach Britton. That said, the Rogers Centre will be rocking and that will certainly be the difference as the Jays will move on to face the Texas Rangers in a rematch of last seasons epic American League Division Series.
Prediction: Blue Jays 5, Orioles 4.
National League
October 5th- San Francisco Giants vs New York Mets- 8:00, ESPN: This is an excellent matchup here headlined by a fantastic pitching matchup between Madison Bumgarner and Noah Syndergaard. The Mets offense has been much better the last month and a half of the season meanwhile the Giants have been unpredictable offensively during their awful second half of the season, which the struggles are mainly due to the back end of the rotation and their bullpen not panning out. That said, it's hard to bet against Madison Bumgarner in the playoffs and that will be the difference here as the Giants will move on to play the Chicago Cubs in the National League Division Series, which would be a highly anticipated series.
Prediction: Giants 4, Mets 2.
