Butkus D. Dogg's Friday Fearless Forecast Week 6

The bald guy is all nervous this week because his teen aged daughter is coming to see him and she's bringing a boyfriend. All week long, the fat dog and I have been practicing our attack moves and if the kid leaves his room in the middle of the night, he's going to think he's trapped in a Cujo time loop. We will absolutely go medieval on his sorry ass. The fat dog is taking it a bit too seriously. He's been walking around all week muttering "Feel lucky, well do you, punk?" Me, I let my choppers do the talking.
Five college, five pro, straight up. Just for once, I'd like to run both tables:
College
Georgia vs. Tennessee: This game looked great on paper before the season, but now it's sort of lame between two former SEC powers. The difference is that Georgia's quarterback is much better than Tennessee's quarterback and that Georgia, despite struggling against LSU last week, will score. Tennessee is good at one thing: Beating their chests. Lane Kiffin will discover how lonely it is in the SEC when you don't win and Phil Fulmer will continue to laugh his ass off. Take Georgia.Auburn vs. Arkansas: This is an excellent and under rated game tomorrow. Auburn has really taken to the spread now that they've found the right coach to lead it. Arkansas has some firepower, but defense isn't their strong suit. The most complete team wins this one, that's why you should take Auburn.
Boston College vs. Va. Tech: BC has had a couple of shining moments this season and they are always a team that can pull an upset. Just not this week. Take Va. Tech.
Ole Miss at Alabama: Sometimes you feel like a Nutt, sometimes you don't. I don't. Take Alabama. BIG.
Florida vs. LSU: Why this game didn't get the 2:30 CBS slot I'll never know but it is by far the game of the day in the SEC. Some things to think about: Even if Florida quarterback Tim Tebow plays, his effectiveness will be minimized because he just can't take off and run when he wants to because he's getting over a concussion. Florida also has issues playing in Death Valley and you can bet those Cajuns began drinking their white lightning two days ago. LSU showed some promise against Georgia late in the game, but Georgia can't play defense. So, the question you have to ask yourself is can Tebow make a difference at LSU against an LSU team that is over rated but has played far under their talent level this year? Tough choice, isn't it? Not for me. Take Florida.
Pro
Pittsburgh vs. Detroit: The Lions have as much a chance in this game as Big Ben's female friend in Tahoe has of winning her case in court. Take Pittsburgh.Minnesota vs. St. Louis: This is a classic trap game with the Vikings coming down from their emotional win over Green Bay. However, the Rams aren't good enough to play in C-USA let alone the NFL and Brett Farve could be pulled by the third quarter. Take Minnesota.
New England vs. Denver: The mentor reunites with the student in a mile high matchup that brings the Patriots to visit the 4-0 Broncos. This is the game that the Broncos realize that Kyle Orton is not John Elway and that Tom Brady is. Take New England
Atlanta vs. San Francisco: This might be the best game of the day in the NFL. Atlanta hasn't been able to get their running game on track, but it won't matter in this game against San Francisco's stingy defense. In the final analysis, Atlanta is a more mature team offensively, and like Minnesota a couple of weeks ago, they will find a way to break the Niners hearts. Take Atlanta.
Jacksonville vs. Seattle: This is the kind of game they send Gus Johnson or Ron Pitts too because this is a stinkfest. Take Seattle.
