Shannons Weekend Sixer: NFL and College Picks That Bring the Heat

Shannons Weekend Sixer: NFL and College Picks That Bring the Heat

It’s time to make your moves because this football weekend is looking promising! We’ve got underdogs, intense matchups, and scoring that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

So, let’s jump straight in—here’s your weekend six-pack!

 

College Football Picks for Saturday, Oct 19:


SMU vs Stanford (Pick: OVER 53.5)

With SMU’s explosive offense led by Kevin Jennings at QB, expect a high-scoring affair. On Stanford’s side, QB Ashton Daniels and WR John Humphreys have shown flashes, but their defense has struggled against fast-paced teams. Given the offensive firepower and defensive question marks, the OVER 53.5 is a solid pick.

West Virginia vs Kansas State (Pick: Kansas State -1.5)

Kansas State’s QB Avery Johnson , paired with explosive RB DJ Giddens, has been efficient. West Virginia, with Garrett Greene leading the offense, has been competitive, but Kansas State’s defense is more reliable. The -1.5 spread is a reasonable call.

Charlotte vs Navy (Pick: Navy -16.5)

Navy’s run-heavy offense, led by Blake Horvath is difficult to stop, and Charlotte’s defense, struggling with consistency, will have trouble keeping up. Navy should control the pace and cover the 16.5-point spread comfortably.

 

NFL Picks for Sunday, Oct 20 & Mon. Oct 21:


Bucs vs Ravens (Pick: Under 49)

This game leans heavily towards a defensive showdown. Tampa Bay’s defense, anchored by Lavonte David and Antoine Winfield Jr., will aim to limit Lamar Jackson’s dynamic playmaking. With both teams preferring more conservative game plans, especially in tough matchups, expect a lower-scoring affair. Taking the under 49 is a strong play.

Steelers vs Jets (Pick: Jets Moneyline)

Defensively, New York is anchored by Quinnen Williams, who has been a dominant force, creating pressure and helping the secondary limit big plays. The Jets also just got Devante Adams which happens to be Aaron Rodgers favorite receiver. With Rodger hungry for a win and home-field advantage, the Jets are in a strong position to take down the Steelers. The Jets are a good moneyline play in this matchup.

Eagles vs Giants (Pick: Giants +3)

In this NFC East rivalry, the Giants +3 is a solid pick. Daniel Jones leads a resilient New York offense, supported by emerging weapons like Jalin Hyatt. Although the Eagles boast a powerhouse squad, with a strong running game and an elite defense, divisional games often get gritty. The Giants have shown they can stay competitive in tough matchups, and even against a tough Eagles squad, they have the potential to cover the spread in this close contest.

Bonus Pick:

Jerry Jeudy anytime TD

Jerry has been a key target in the Browns’ offense, consistently finding ways to get open in the red zone. With his speed and route-running ability, he’s primed for an anytime touchdown against a defense that struggles to contain explosive receivers.


And that’s a wrap, everyone! You’re armed with a 6-pack of picks for an exciting weekend of college and NFL football. From underdogs to totals, we’ve covered it all. So grab your snacks, get settled in, and let the games—and your potential winnings—begin! Wishing you all GOOD LUCK this weekend, and see you next week!
