Great Effort Still A L

After a so-so week of 5-3 my overall guesstamation in college picks now stands at 38-16. Saturday games line up this week include. North Carolina played by far their best game of the year but in the end didn't do the things to win in the clutch and lose at home 27-23 to Miami. The game was closer than expected but I start the week on college picks 1-0. Greensboro College 1-5 travels to North Carolina Wesleyan for a 1pm kickoff at the Sports Complex. There is only one common foe so far and that is LaGrange where Greensboro lost by 14 on the road and Wesleyan lost by 24 at home. This is at NCW so this could be a nip and tuck affair. Greensboro 24 NCW 21 Duke at Virginia: Duke is on a roll offensivly but road games for every team is what they are. I think Duke has too much offense for the Wahoos. Duke 31 Virginia 21 Southern Mississippi at ECU: The Pirates will be spitting nails to get back out on the field after losing a game I won't say they lost but they had every chance to win. ECU 42 S Miss 20 Syracuse At Georgia Tech: After seeing the Cuse for the first time last week I will say they have the worse quarterback in the conference but yet they whipped State to death in 4th quarter with the run. This Georgia Tech that practices against the run every day with their offense. Tech 26 Syracuse 20 Maryland at Wake Forest: Can the B B&T magic continue? Maryland got killed by FSU and struggled at Virginia. The magic will last another week Wake 27 Maryland 24. ODU at Pitt: First year D-1 school ODU is better than your average first year team. Pitt had better be ready. Pitt 45 ODU 38 Just maybe the football game of all time in the ACC. FSU at Clemson 8pm on National TV. When has there ever been an ACC game as late as October 19th draw this much attention. You have to go back to the Mack Brown teams at Carolina meeting FSU. If this game was played at Tallahassee I'd take FSU by three touchdowns but this is in Death Valley. I will take NOLEs 30-27. Yesterday Hunt girls volleyball team beat Fike in the championship game of the Big East Tournament. Fike the #1 seed had beat Hunt twice during the regular season and this championship game went to a dramatic 5th set. Northern Nash Beat Nash Central for third in the tournament.
