I think we should modify this already glorious game. What if we gave the first person for the week who picks a winning team an extra point to differentiate all the people picking the same team? Keeps piggybacking from being a tactic maybe, I don't know it just seems that the first person had a good pick then 12 others said, "yeah, he's got that one, I'm on it too". You still have to get it right but being first should merit a touch better kudos

Bleacher Report....College Football Week 6 Upset Watch: Best Underdog Odds to Bet​

The Marshall Thundering Herd could be the most dangerous Group of Five underdog facing a power-conference team in Week 6.
Marshall comes into its matchup against the NC State Wolfpack with a 4-0 record and an offense that averages 412.3 total yards per game.
Cam Fancher and Co. already have one ACC scalp on their resume over the Virginia Tech Hokies. NC State is a step up in competition from Virginia Tech, but the Herd should be able to compete.
NC State has had some offensive problems with Brennan Armstrong under center. The Virginia transfer has more interceptions than touchdown passes. He was picked on multiple occasions in two of the Wolfpack's three home games.
Marshall needs to force one or two picks off Armstrong and convert those turnovers into touchdowns.
The Herd can do that behind running back Rasheen Ali, who has nine rushing scores. Ali has four straight multi-score games and his season high in rushing yards came against Virginia Tech.
Marshall needs Ali to remain consistent on the ground, Fancher to make a few throws in key situations and its defense to make Armstrong uncomfortable to not just cover the spread, but potentially leave Carter-Finley Stadium with a win.

2023 College Football Week 6 predictions, best bets by Chris 'The Bear' Fallica

Marshall vs. North Carolina State

I have no idea what has happened to Brennan Armstrong. The year 2021 feels like so long ago. Now, he’s been replaced by MJ Morris in Raleigh in an effort to kick-start an offense that hasn’t scored more than 24 vs. any FBS team this year and has been involved in a pair of field goal games the last two weeks.
Marshall’s running game behind Rasheen Ali is solid, and the Herd has already beaten a lower-echelon ACC team this year. It has an excellent chance to make it two.

PICK: Marshall (+6.5) to lose by 6 points or fewer (or win outright)

MARSHALL
