Game Thread and Predictions

Saturday, September 27th

12:00 PM EST -Maryland @ #20 Clemson

Prediction:Maryland has looked a lot better the past two weeks but i still don't think they are good enough to beat a team like Clemson. Clemson wins 34-14

12:00 PM EST - Virginia @ Duke

Prediction: Virginia has looked very bad in 2 of the 3 games they have played thus far, and i'm not sure if thats going to change. I can't believe that i'm going to take Duke in this one Duke wins 17-10

12:00 PM EST - North Carolina @ Miami

Prediction: Both of these teams have some injuries to key players but UNC is going to struggle without their starting QB. They usually play Miami well and i don't see that changing Miami squeaks out a win 27-23

1:00 PM EST - Rhode Island @ Boston College

Prediction: Rhode Island is not good..at all. This should be a week where BC works out some kinks on the offensive side of the ball BC wins 37-3

3:30 PM EST - Colorado @ Florida State

Prediction: Both of these teams have started out the season very well. I hate picking against the ACC but i really don't like FSU. Colorado's great start continues and they win 31-20

3:45 PM EST - Navy @ #16 Wake Forest

Prediction - Navy is great running the ball but i don't think they can hang with a team who possibly could be the best in the ACC. Wake wins 27-17

7:30 PM EST -#13 South Florida at North Carolina State

Prediction:NC state will be riding a wave of momentum coming into this game and i think that will cause them to keep it way closer then it probably should be. However South Florida is just to talented and will win 34-20

8:00 PM EST - Virginia Tech @ Nebraska

Prediction:Va Tech has looked a little bit better in the past 2 games but this is another tough test. Nebraska really hasn't played anyone but they have looked good Nebraska wins 24-20

Last weeks record: 7-1
Hughest4 season record: 25-11

We should keep a running tab on who picks the most correct games. At the end of the season we will see which of us knows ACC Football the best.

Ugh, Maryland can beat Clemson, but i don't see it happening..

12:00 PM EST -Maryland @ #20 Clemson

Maryland has certainly been a roller coaster team this season, but it looks like they are finally starting to come together. Clemson has bounced back nicely after a terrible showing week one against Alabama. I look for this to be a surprisingly close game for the most part, but Clemson should prevail.

UMD-13 Clem-24

12:00 PM EST - Virginia @ Duke

Virginia has no doubt been struggling lately, but if there were ever a good time for a bounce back game, it's against Duke. UVA should win this one.

UVA-27 Duke-17

12:00 PM EST - North Carolina @ Miami

Miami has played like **** against UNC for the past 3-4 years now. UNC is without their starting QB which should help out the Canes. I am going to pick UNC because if they win, at least I can say I picked it right, and if they lose, I wont really care because the Canes won the game.

UNC-30 Miami-26

1:00 PM EST - Rhode Island @ Boston College

Should be an easy one for BC

RI-10 BC-34

3:30 PM EST - Colorado @ Florida State

Colorado proved that they can hang with the best of them (though WVU might not fit that category anymore) and FSU only proved that they have one of the worst offenses in the ACC. I'm going with the Buffs to take out the criminoles.

CU-27 FSU-10

3:45 PM EST - Navy @ #16 Wake Forest

Wake is on a great run right now. I dont really know too much about Navy, but I know enough to think Wake has a legit shot to win this game easily.

Navy-14 Wake-35

7:30 PM EST -#13 South Florida at North Carolina State

NC State had a nice little win last week against a top 15 team, however, ECU in no way shape or form was the 15th best team in the country. USF is far superior offensively and defensively than ECU is, and should give the (seemingly) cocky wolfpack fits.

USF-31 NCST-9

8:00 PM EST - Virginia Tech @ Nebraska

This has potential to be a great game. I was listening to Frank Beamer on his weekly radio show they play here, and he is in awe of Nebraska (for whatever reason). Nebraska has had a relatively weak schedule to this point, and this will be their first true test. I'm a little skeptical deciding either way in this matchup...

I'll say:

VT-24 Nebraska-28

Last week's record: 7-1 (including a dead on perfect NCST ECU prediction AND final score

)

Season record: 28-8

UM kills UNC

**Mane** · 09-27-2008, 11:55 AM

Clemson needs to be put on upset alert

**Mane** · 09-27-2008, 12:33 PM

Our defense is terrible

**Mane** · 09-27-2008, 12:40 PM

Man.. what luck with that muffed punt. Awesome field position, gotta get some momentum with this.

**Mane** · 09-27-2008, 01:20 PM

WTF, DHB can't ****ing catch...

**NYMetros** · 09-27-2008, 01:31 PM

Miami looks good. They're starting to look like the Miami of a few years ago.

**BullsFan_1** · 09-27-2008, 01:45 PM

I would like to see Miami's offense get a little more aggressive in the 2nd half.
