The Word

Nate and Jack are grinding on the USA World Cup farewell tour, which means they forgot to do their Pick Six. The winner with the one-liners, #NoPickNate, kindly wrote in some quick tips for the six conference championship games this week. Jack is so distraught over the Dutch's three goals that he can't even fathom handicapping a game right now.

Nate wins more anyways.

Read below for your college football quick fix.



#1 Georgia vs. #11 LSU

Kickoff: 12/3 at 4:00 pm EST on CBS

This line is way too long for an LSU team that has been playing well lately.

Nate’s Pick

LSU +17.5

 

#13 Kansas State vs. #3 TCU

Kickoff: 12/3 at 12:30 PM EST on ABC

Chaos continues here with K-State knocking off TCU. Don’t even bother with the points and take the plus money on the Wildcats here.

Nate’s Pick

Kansas State +1.5

 

Purdue vs. #2 Michigan

Kickoff: 12/3 at 8:00 PM EST on ABC

Michigan is our team. We were in them last week when they beat the Buckeyes. We aren’t getting off them now.

Nate’s Pick

Michigan -16.5

#10 Clemson vs. #24 UNC

Kickoff: 12/3 on 8:00 PM EST at FOX

UNC plays zero defense. Clemson should get their points against that unit. Drake Maye has been elite for UNC. This is a shootout, folks.

Nate’s Pick

Over +63.5

 

Toledo vs. Ohio

Kickoff: 12/3 at 12:00 PM EST on ESPN

There are a lot of unknowns here, but I’m inclined to take the points and pray.

Nate’s Pick

Ohio +3

 

Coastal Carolina vs. Troy

Kickoff: 12/3 at 3:30 PM EST on ESPN

Troy has an elite defense by almost any metric. Coastal is playing a backup QB. I wouldn’t fault you for taking Troy, but the under feels safer. Points will be at a premium.

Nate’s Pick

Total Points Under 49.5
