Thursday Quarterback
I must really be getting into the groove (or teams like Miami continue to play teams like Temple and make my life easier). Nevertheless, let's keep the good times rolling with some big ACC match ups this time around.LAST WEEK: 3-2
OVERALL: 24-12
THURSDAY NIGHT:
#3 Virginia Tech at Maryland
This is an interesting game. Certainly everyone remembers the absolute beatdown the Twerps received last year in Blacksburg. It was over in the first five minutes. If we've learned one thing it's Maryland can beat anyone when motivated and they will have that. Plus VT has yet to truly stun on the road. NC State came down to the last play and West Virginia kept it close. VT will have to make a statement here if they want to ever move pass Texas in the dormant Big XII.
PREDICTION: VT 24 MD 21
SATURDAY:
Temple at Clemson
Clemson comes off one impressive victory on the road against NC State. Temple comes off well...another loss, a 34-3 drubbing by Miami. With games against Maryland and Virginia too, I have to ask when did Temple join the ACC? Clemson won't ask questions, they'll just take the victory and stay in the ACC chase.
PREDICTION: Temple 7 Clemson 31
#11 Florida State at Duke
Oh me, oh my. This game will not be for the faint of heart. It won't be for Duke fans either because the Noles are ANGRY. I think I can feel pretty confident that Wallace Wade Stadium will look like a disaster area more than a football field.
PREDICTION: FSU 56 Duke 3
NC State at Wake Forest
Last time these two teams played at WF, NC State was nationally ranked and the Deacons pulled off a huge upset. Phillip Rivers is gone, and so has most of the luster of Wolfpack Coach Chuck Amato. I really never know what to think of WF, they are showing flashes of what they used to be. They just can't keep it together. I think they might just do it this week though.
PREDICTION: NC State 21 WF 28
Virginia at North Carolina
Well the Tar Heels may not have cared much about this game before, but they sure do now. Virginia is back on track after taking down the previously undefeated Noles. This is a huge game for them if they don't want to lose all the good press and sentiments. UNC has talent and they are tired of losing to Virginia. I'm also tired of getting EVERY UNC prediction wrong. Reverse psychology worked last time, let's do it doubly this time.
PREDICTION: UVA 0 UNC 100
Georgia Tech at #5 Miami
Well, well, well...in one corner you have the media's darling as the giant killer and in the other you have the only powerhouse standing in the Hokies way of ACC domination. This game will go along way in seeing if GT has recovered from their embarrassing loss to VT. It will also be Miami's first test since a 3 OT thriller against Clemson. Should be fun to watch but, one team will like it just a LITTLE more.
PREDICTION: GT 20 Miami 31
