Josh Pate Best Bets: Week 6 College Football Picks, Predictions

FaceProfileby: Thomas Goldkamp2 hours ago

College football analyst Josh Pate is locking in his picks for this weekend’s college football slate. Week 6’s showdowns feature some of the best games of the entire season, and there’s some money to be made.

On the latest episodes of Josh Pate’s College Football Show, the college football insider focused on a myriad of interesting contests. Among them are Vanderbilt at Alabama, Miami at Florida State and Mississippi State at Texas A&M.

Check out Pate’s predictions below. While the lines may have shifted a bit since his choices were locked in, it’s easy to see where he stands at the moment on each college football game. All lines listed are courtesy of BetMGM. Note that this list will be updated throughout the week as Pate’s shows roll on and more picks come in.

Vanderbilt (+10.5) at Alabama

In arguably the biggest college football game of the week, Vanderbilt will be out to prove that last season’s win over Alabama was no fluke. Of course, this time it’ll be on the road. And the Crimson Tide are red hot right now after knocking off the Georgia Bulldogs in a thoroughly hostile environment. This was one of Pate’s first picks for the week, though it appears he got an early line and jumped on it.

Josh Pate: “I’ve got two games I’m on early. Vanderbilt’s getting way too many points at Alabama. Vanderbilt at +12.5 I will take as one of our best bets.”

Wake Forest (+6.0) at Virginia Tech

After essentially being robbed by a missed offsides call while trying to kill the clock against Georgia Tech, Wake Forest will look to bounce back at a Virginia Tech program with a little interim coach momentum. College football has a way of creating some weird twists like that. Still, Pate likes the way Demon Deacons coach Jake Dickert has his guys playing.

Josh Pate: “Wake Forest +5.5 against Virginia Tech, I think Wake could win the game outright. So give me Vandy +12.5, it’s a very, very academically prestigious Ramen Noodle Express this week, and give me Wake Forest +5.5.”
