Iowa travels to Seattle at 4-1, fresh off its first loss of the year to Ohio State but only two weeks removed from beating Michigan. Washington opened 3-0 and has since dropped tight ones to Minnesota and USC. Mark and Howard, meanwhile, have both gone back to the ice.

NHL TOTAL PICK
Penguins vs. Blue Jackets
Over 6
No NFL, no MLB? No problem. It's back to the ice, and in Columbus tonight, let's just root for goals. The veteran roster of the Pens scored 13 goals across their first two games, and most recently, allowed five goals to Ovi and the Caps. The Jackets have played just two games, but their opener was a 6-3 win over the Sabres. Their goaltending hasn't been great for years, so we expect both teams to score 3+ goals tonight.

NHL MONEYLINE PICK
Detroit Red Wings
Moneyline (-140)
Detroit might be 1-2, but goalie John Gibson has been solid at home with a 2.39 GAA while the Kraken have looked mid at best. Detroit's expected goals for at even-strength looks fantastic and they should handle the game with relative ease tonight.

Steven's Iowa-Washington breakdown is above with Dan's full Week 6 best-bets card beside it, and the NFL games to watch and Week 5 picks against the spread are there for anyone already building toward Sunday. Tonight runs from Seattle across to the #8 Cougars hosting Iowa State, where that fourth-best third-down rate in the country gets its test. Both exclusives are on the ice again: Mark just wants goals in Columbus between two teams whose goaltending has been shaky, and Howard likes Detroit at home behind John Gibson. Good luck tonight.
