Thursday Quarterback
Ok since the Thursday night game is an ACC contest, I've had to bump this up.LAST WEEK: 5-3
OVERALL: 16-8
THURSDAY NIGHT:
NC State at #24 Georgia Tech
An interesting matchup, N.C. State barely lost to VT while GT was absolutely dismantled. GT beat UNC and NC State did not. It may be hard for Georgia Tech to get over such a bad loss, and with the Wolfpack defense I would not be shocked for them to win it...nevertheless, the home field makes me think GT will SOMEHOW pull it out.
PREDICTION: NC State 17 GT 21
SATURDAY:
Wake Forest at #4 Florida State
Is it just me, or should people start to buy tickets for the VT/FSU ACC Championship game? FSU has problems, but they have certainly overcome them so far and Wake Forest has no talent to exploit these weaknesses. WF, get ready for a long year.
PREDICTION: WF 3 FSU 35
Duke at #9 Miami
Well to save time and effort (see above). Miami has some offensive holes, but they can easily dismantle one of the worst secondaries in the country, along with an offense that leaves much to be desired.
PREDICTION: Duke 0 Miami 28
Marshall at #3 Virginia Tech
Remember the days of Byron Leftwich, Chand Pennington and Randy Moss were all wearing the Marshall green...yeah neither do they. Losing to Central Florida and an 8 point victory over William and Mary can hurt your once proud mid-major squad. Oh yeah...VT is pretty good too. No upset this week.
PREDICTION: Marshall 10 VT 42
Maryland at Temple
Oh wow. Maryland's offense gets another feast after beating up on the Cavaliers. The Temple Owls are on their way to Division II status, just face it. At this rate, Lance Ball will be a Heisman candidate.
PREDICTION: MD 45 Temple 0
#23 Louisville at UNC
Okay, I know that my UNC predictions are always wrong so...take this with all the seriousness you take any of my predictions. Louisville looked invincible until South Florida unmasked them. UNC has talent but Louisville has enough firepower to blow them out (They just better hope it's loaded this time).
PREDICTION: UL 42 UNC 28
Virginia at Boston College
Oh me, oh my. It was going to be hard to pick the Cavaliers BEFORE their loss to Maryland, now it's even harder. The Eagles are for real, their defense can stop anyone and if our defense rests again it could get ugly. If everyone returns this will be close, and well...oh I can't handle the pressure.
PREDICTION: UVA 21 BC 20
