On Sundays, Josh Pate provides the first picks aboard the Ramen Noodle Express for the coming weekend, with tonight’s episode being a preview for Week 9. However, he gave out just one pick, but with it being an emphatic one at that, this evening.

Pate made that pick to end tonight’s episode of ‘Josh Pate’s College Football Show’. That’s coming off the segment’s worst week of the year so far from Week 8’s picks.

“I’m going to put the Ramen Noodle Express where my mouth is. By the way, Ramen Noodle Express sucked yesterday. We were, yesterday, 4-7 – our worst day of the season,” said Pate. “But, we had winning weeks the last two weeks, so we’re still above .500. We still have a winning year, but we need to roll this week.”

With that, here are the picks for Pate in Week 9:

Arkansas (+1.5) against Auburn

Pate instantly selected Arkansas (2-5, 0-3) to win outright, let alone cover the opening spread of +1.5 for the Razorbacks, against Auburn (3-4, 0-4) in Fayetteville on Saturday. He’d even take the ‘Hogs if they were favored here, as he doesn’t see how this sets up well at all for the Tigers come kickoff next weekend.

“Here’s where we’re going to start. As of now – and I expect it to change – Arkansas is +1.5 at home against Auburn. Arkansas will beat Auburn on Saturday, so I’m taking any points you give me,” said Pate. “Frankly, I would lay points with Arkansas. This is Bobby Petrino’s game. This is not Hugh Freeze’s game. This is an 11 a.m. kickoff for the Auburn Tigers in Northwest Arkansas. It couldn’t be set up any worse. Give me Arkansas +1.5. Give me Arkansas moneyline.”
