ECU Tries To Rebound

The Pirates sure would love to have last week's dumpster fire back but find themselves on the road going up against just maybe the best team they have played besides South Carolina.  A second week in a row road trip stops in Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati where they meet the  Bearcats sporting a 5-3 record.  The Pirates must get out of the funk they have been in for over a month.  This is one of those games the Pirates need to prove they learned a lesson.   Cats beat Pirates 26-23

Last week had a decent week going 6-1 on the college picks running my record to 71-24 on the season. One played game Thursday so only five games  to pick.  NC Wesleyan travels  to Greensboro to meet the 2-6 Pride.  Battling Bishops losers of two in a row get back on the winning ways  32-24

Louisville at Boston College.  Both teams are 6-3.  Louisville is 4-3 in ACC while BC  is 3-2.  I like the home team in this one.  BC 28 Louisville 24.

Duke at Syracuse.  You wonder how Duke keeps winning but they do.  The Devils will win again as from what I see This could be a blowout.  Duke 40 Cuse 21

Virginia at Florida St.  Virginia started out very good this season but have faded down the stretch.  Florida State needs to blow somebody out.  Virginia offense is fair so FSU defense might look good this week cause I doubt The Cavs can keep up on Offense. FSU 38 UVA 17

Georgia Tech at N C State.  This is a game the Pack could win.  Tech presents a different offense to everyone they play and one week to practice is hard to prepare.  State will need to score a bunch.  A bowl bid will have to wait another week. GT 38. Pack 31

Hunt beat Southern Lee 4-3 on Wednesday and now moves on to the 4th round  of the state soccer playoffs and who do they draw in round 4?  Cardinal Gibbons.   They meet on Saturday.

Will be part of the TV crew tonight when the Gryphons host the Knights in the final regular season football game.  Northern with five wins and  Rocky Mount with six should already be in playoffs regardless of the number of conference wins.  The closer you are to the bottom of the standings the higher seed either will play next week.  The loser tonight will not get an easy game in the opening playoff games next week.  This should be a dandy game.
