Week 3

For this week’s ACC Pick ‘em, I’m gonna call

Cal over Maryland

Clemson over NC State

Navy over Duke (I know Duke is bound to fluke into a victory one of these days, but I’ll be damned if I pick them)

Georgia Tech over VPI (Va. Tech)

Florida State over Chattanooga

Connecticut over Virginia

For Straight Cash, Homie

I’ve got USC minus 10.5 at home against OSU.  They could cover that playing with 9 guys.  OSU is gonna get destroyed (especially if Beanie Wells can’t go).

Georgia is only minus 7 at South Carolina.  I’m not sure if the oddsmakers have watched a South Carolina game this year, but THEY LOST TO FUCKING VANDY.  Georgia could let their cheerleaders play offensive line and put the mascot under center.  Knowshon will just levetate over the D and fly the ball to the endzone like he did last week.

WEEK 4:

Miami @ Texas A&M

This game will be the college football equivalent of what would happen if George Foreman and Evander Holyfield decided to get back in the ring for one last go-round.   Two flabby, out of shape, geriatric former greats drooling on each other trying not to shit themselves.  I’ll take Miami, I guess.  This one’s gonna be tough to watch.

Mississippi State @ Georgia Tech

Mississippi State showed in their 3-2 loss to Auburn that they can play tough on defense.  They also showed that their offense is about as lively as Caylee Anthony and Madeline McCann.  Sylvester Croom might be turning the program around, but they still commit way too many stupid mistakes and turn the ball over with Metamucil-like regularity.  And speaking of stupid mistakes, Georgia Tech decided to hold and facemask their way out of a victory last week against Virginia Tech.  The Jackets can play with the best of them as long as they don’t have their heads inserted firmly up their asses.  Unfortunately for the Techies their heads are out in the open air only about 30% of the time.  I do think they should be able to take down the Bulldogs at home this week. It’s gonna be a ugly game marred by moronic penalties and decision making that makes Chris Rix look like Peyton Manning.  But it won’t be as ugly as the Ms. State – Auburn game last week, but that was like James Carville ugly.  It’s hard to top that.

Check out the rest after the jump. 

East Carolina @ NC State

East Carolina hiccupped a little bit last week against Tulane, and it looks like West Virginia and Virginia Tech might have been a little overrated coming into the season (especially now, with WVU losing to Colorado.)  But the ECU Pirates are still going to trounce the Wolfpack this weekend.  NC State is like Duke-bad this year.  They’ll be lucky to win 3 games all season.

South Carolina State @ Clemson

I’ll be honest, I had never even heard of South Carolina State til just now.  But it turns out they’re in the same conference as FAMU.  As overrated as Clemson is, they’re not losing this one.  Although it would be fucking hilarious if they did.  Go Bulldogs!

Eastern Michigan @ Maryland

After watching the Terps beat No. 23 Cal last week, it’s hard to pick against them when they’re playing a team from the MAC.  If you actually watched the Cal game, though, you’ll realize that they’re not really that good.  They tried their damnedest to lose that game in the 4th quarter.  Cal just ran out of time.  Don’t forget that in the first two weeks they barely squeaked by Delaware and lost to fucking Middle Tennessee State.  Eastern Michigan is pretty fucking shitty too.  They got tossed up like a two dollar whore by Toledo last week and got their assholes reamed out by 30+ points the week before against Michigan State.  I’m taking the Terps, they should be riding a huge wave of confidence, but I only expect that to take them so far.  I think this game is gonna be closer than a lot of people would expect.

UCF @ Boston College

UCF is taking them down.  BC misses Matt Ryan more than Marcus Vick misses his brother’s money.

Virginia Tech @ North Carolina

I was gonna call this my upset special, but I just checked the lines and UNC is favored by 3 over Va Tech.  Damn it! I thought I was gonna be all prophetic and shit.  Anyway, I’m definitely taking the Tar Heels.  As much as I hate him for his Miami roots, you can’t deny that Butch Davis is a pretty damn good coach at the collegiate level.  It’s only a matter of time before that team becomes relevant.  And who knows?  Maybe that time is now.  I definitely would not sleep on UNC.

Wake Forest @ Florida State

It’s finally here.  The regular season is finally starting.  It’s time to see what the Noles are truly made of.  I don’t want to jinx anything, but I think we’re gonna take this one.  It’s not gonna be a blowout like the 1AA games were or like it used to be against Wake, but the Seminoles are motivated and hungry.  The return to glory starts here! (Or if I’m wrong, the clamoring for Bobby’s head begins here!)  Either way GO NOLES!
