If I was Ruffin McNeil I would want to play somebody this week after winning as Carolina calls it ECU's Super Bowl. Two weeks off before a Poor SMU team might not be the best thing for the Pirates resting on their laurels. Last week had a mediocre 6-4 record losing both games played in Rocky Mount to extend my college pick record to 36-10 for the season.
Congratulations to Shaun Draughn from Tarboro high extending his life in the NFL after being dropped by the Bears. The San Diego Chargers picked him up Wednesday to replace injured Danny Woodhouse and Ryan Matthews. Draughn has played in a total of 22 NFL games to date having played on special teams in the Bears first two games this year. His career so far he has made the teams he has played for as a special teams player with back up running back where he has been able to lumber for 256 career rushing yards. Unless you have Direct tv NFL package should see the Chargers a lot on tv after this week. They play the lowly Jacksonville Jags so no National coverage this week.
Western Michigan @ Virginia Tech: The Hokies need to beat somebody and it might as well be W Michigan. 36- 22
Colorado State @ Boston College: Here's one that I know nothing about the Rams. This game is as BC so I pick them 36-28
Akron @ Pitt: This is one of those games at the end of year you can't afford to lose. Pitt 37-13
Florida State @ NC State: I think the Pack is better than what people realize and I don's see FSU # 1 for long. Just quite can't pull the trigger for N C State but I think this is a great game. FSU 26 Pack 23
Kent State @ Virginia: Hoos all the way 44-14
Wake Forest @ Louisville: Have you ever noticed that the Deacs win games when you don't think they have a chance, but not this week 36-18 the Cards.
NC @ Clemson: Who can win a game when both teams should be spitting nails after the losses last week. Clemson gave one away while Carolina gave way. Clemson 35 Carolina 24
Duke @ Miami: Might be the hardest game in the country to pick this week. I believe in CUT Duke 38 Miami 34
Notre Dame @ Syracuse: If Maryland can beat the Cuse so can the Irish. 37-23
N C Wesleyan @ Ferrum: The Battling Bishops are hard to figure out. Ferrum 32-NCW21

NFL Good Week Of Picks
Last week went 13-3 to jump to 33-15 on the year. Picked road teams Chargers and Steelers beating undefeated on the road. Six teams start the week off process so there is only 13 games coming up this week including the unnessary game in London. Here we go looking for a perfect week.
The lowly Giants come to Washington to face the much improved offense of the Redskins but look there is also the defensive side to every team. I think Skins win in DC or Landover wherever Fed Ex Field is. 31-17
Green Bay at Chicago. What is wrong with Green Bay? They have the look of a team that once they put it together could be trouble for every one. But, right now they look like a machine needing oil. Bears at home 26-23.
Buffalo at Houston. On the road lost to the Giants, This is a real flip a coin game. This game will tell us a lot about Buffalo. I can't put money on Emanuel on the road but the Bills have a defense. Low scoring Houston 19 Buffalo 12.
Tennessee at Indy: Tennessee just can't score enough to win this game Colts 41 Tenn 21
Carolina at Baltimore: I'm still not sold on Cam even when he's healthy. He has type injuries he keeps playing will not be healthy this year. D will keep it close but Baltimore is my pick 26-17
Detroit at Jets: Which Lions team shows up? Which Jets team shows up? Detroit wins 17-12.
Tampa Bay at Pittsburgh: Tampa will be better with Mike Glennon at quarterback their only problem
Is Tampa is not very good. Pittsburgh 34 Tampa 20
Miami at Oakland: look out the Raider nation wins this one 23-20.
Jacksonville at San Diego: My only worry about this game is will the Chargers lose one they ought to win and spoil their start against quality teams. Jax is a breeze if Chargers show up. 35-13 Chargers
Philadelphia at San Fransico: Frisco doesn't look like the power team they have been lately. Philly scores but they give up a lot too. oh boy, who to pick in this one? I'll takes Niners but don't know why 32-27.
Falcons at Vikings: I think the Vikings are playing ok or better than everyone thinks. Atlanta needs a win as so Far New Orleans not playing well and Panthers have a five week stretch of contending teams. A win on the road and it might be the Falcons who are the NFC South's best team. Don't think so Viking 24 ATL 20
New Orleans at Dallas: Don't know yet about the Saints but if the Boys want to be more than a win one lose one team they need this one. Saints keep the Boys being the Boys 37-24
New England at KC: So far Pats not very impressive and KC is acting better than expected. This game will tell us about Brady and company. KC 27 New England 23
The NFL is a league where the best team is only a touchdown better than the worse in most cases games come down to the one that wants it the most. It is hard to bet against a team that is desperate over a team that is fat and happy. Find it hard to see any team in the league being better than 12-4 but somewhere there will be somebody that will be 13-3 or better.
