NFL Picks

Week 6 NFL picks against the spread: Oracle at the O.Co

Here are your ambiguously straightforward Week 6 NFL picks against the spread.

You guys might be familiar with SB Nation's cool new toy. It's called The GIF Oracle, and it's most excellent. Basically, if the moment calls for a GIF, rather than searching for a GIF yourself and completely wasting away the window for a perfectly-timed GIF, you can request one from The GIF Oracle by simply typing "@oracle gif me [category]" and, almost instantaneously, The GIF Oracle will respond with a good, relevant GIF from its database.

Why am I plugging this here? Because in years past when I'm short on time (running low on gas and you need a jacket), I'll make my picks and lazily post a relevant GIF for the game instead of writing a blurb. GIFs can tell so much more than my words sometimes anyway. And they're funnier. So that's what I'm going to do this week because my head's with the Tigers, Game 5.

Also, "oracle" is such a great word and I've tied it to the Tigers at the O.Co, because O.Co kind of looks like some really bad abbreviation of oracle. Another real loooooose relation is that my friend's dad would call himself "The Oracle" when making his NFL picks. That friend of mine was at Game 4 and snagged a foul ball over the tarp in the sixth inning. Get the connection? No? @oracle gif me my-friend-snagging-foul-ball:
