LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- If you've opened an on-line wagering account and still have bonus-bet money to burn, I have a suggestion:

Follow Tom Lane.

Yes, he suffered his first losing week of the season in Week 5, nailing one of three selections. But for the season, Lane has picked winners on better than 73% of his selections while increasing his (imaginary) bank account from $2,000 to $3,000. Las Vegas frowns at that.

I expect him to bounce back strong.

Tom Lane

  • This week's bankroll: $3,000

  • Season record: 11-4

Week 6 Picks:

  • $100 on Bowling Green (+10) at Miami (Ohio); Saturday, 3:30 p.m.
    • "Not easy picking against the alma mater, but I'm still counting on a win, just not a cover. BG coming in off an impressive win at Georgia Tech. They should be able to keep this one close."
  • $100 on Texas -6 vs. Oklahoma, Saturday, Noon, in Dallas.
    • "Think Texas may be the real deal, and while Oklahoma is improved, they still look a bit vulnerable."
  • $100 on Washington State (+3.5) at UCLA, Saturday, 3:30 p.m.
    • "Cougars continue to play with massive PAC-2 chip on their shoulder. Passing game will be hard for Bruins to slow down."

Week 6 Picks:

  • $100 on Rutgers (+14) at Wisconsin, Saturday, noon.

    • "Jeff Brohm delivered in big games at Purdue, defeating No. 2 Ohio State in 2018, No. 2 Iowa in 2021 and No. 5 Michigan State in 2021. He'll have the Cards primed for their best performance against the Fighting Irish, who are coming off tough back-to-back games against Ohio State and Duke — and might be looking ahead to USC next week."
