Pick'em

I know I'm early but I seem to be on a roll.
LAST WEEK: 6-0
OVERALL: 19-3

Florida State at N.C. State
These games are going to be a little more precarious this week and here's one. Both teams have grossly underachieved. The Wolfpack miraculously beat the Eagles, and BC is looking much better than those Seminoles as of late. However, FSU had the bye and they play big when they have to. I think pride will kick in and they will put Amato back on the hot seat.

PREDICTION: FSU 31 NCSU 21

North Carolina at Miami
Now the Hurricanes are bad. Houston may have a prolific offense but the Miami offense HAS to muster more than 14 points. Here is poor little UNC though, a team not looking too good either. If Carolina had some of its past stars, like Julius Peppers, this would be a big program win. However, since both teams are bad...we're back to basic logic and that's that Ibis can take the Ram in a fight.

PREDICTION: Miami 21 UNC 3

Clemson at Wake Forest
Wake is 5-0 people, their best start since 1987. Clemson is one of those teams that actually give the ACC some pride. The Demon Deacs sure could use some home field advantage, but there will probably be way more orange than black/gold. This could really be something if Wake were to win, but I think reality will set in this week.

PREDICTION: Clemson 28 WF 24

Maryland at Georgia Tech
Now if the Jackets were caught sleeping, the Terps could surprise them...but I wouldn't bet on it. GT is just too loaded and if they prepare for each game they only need to worry about Clemson and Miami before they waltz into Jacksonville. Maryland struggled against FIU and continue to be lost, Calvin Johnson won't help them find themselves.

PREDICTION: GT 28 MD 13

Virginia at East Carolina
Oh how nice it is to have hope again. Are the Pirates as bad as Duke, no one knows. They did challenge West Virginia, but I now believe enough in Virginia....their defense at least that this could be a comfortable win. If Virginia's offense could only become mediocre, their three game homestand could really muster some spirit. Sewell will continue to be hit and miss, running will be decent as long as Snelling gets the ball but the defense must shine....I say they will.

PREDICTIONL: UVA 21 ECU 3

Duke at Alabama
Oh there's no reason to even talk about this one.

PREDICTION: Alabama 35 Duke -1
