Not that we condone having a STIB here at Punt on 3rd Down, but in the event you do have one, here are the Stache's 3-pk picks of the week along with the Barking Dog of the Week.
UF -19.5 @ Kentucky
It always seems that UF gets more big plays against UK than any other team, which is a large part of the reason they have won 24 consecutive games against the Cats. The Cats are coming off a loss to the Charlie Strong's bunch in the Battle of the Bluegrass, which Florida won rather easily of the Vols.
Expect to continue to see a lot of Demps and Rainey with Burton in the red zone for TD's (he only had 6 v. UK last season).
Prediction: UF 34 UK 6
Notre Dame -7 @ Pitt
Notre Dame seems to have solved their battle with turnovers, expect that trend to continue........you will here Rees to Floyd an awful lot on Saturday with multiple times those connections leading to 6.
Pitt simply won't be able to handle the ND attack.
Prediction: ND 31 Pitt 20
LSU -6 @ WVU
Everyone knows the Stache loves him some Holgo, but WVU is about to run into a brick wall, literally the LSU defensive front will dominate this game and permenantly take up residence beside Geno Smith in the WVU backfield.
WVU's offense likes to spread the field and take advantage of their speed, unfortunately LSU is even faster.
Prediction: LSU 26 WVU 12
Barking Dog of the Week: Western Michigan +13 @ IllinoisJust when you thought it was safe to start giving Illinois props, they go Zook on you. Coming off a big win over Arizona St (is there a more overhyped team in the Country?) last week. The Fighting Zookers will come in with a hangover and before you know they will be looking at the scoreboard in the 4th quarter and it will show they are down by a TD. The question is how will they respond????? The only way the Zooker knows how.....crumble under the adversity.
Until Next Week
