Florida State at Miami – This is the big game of the week (the season, really). I think that given the two teams’ relative strengths last year and factoring in how many players Miami lost to the NFL, you have to believe that FSU is the slightly better team. However, this game is being played in Miami and when these two teams are closely matched, Miami always seems to win. I’m guessing that trend will continue. Miami in a close one (it’s too cute to say that it’ll end on a missed field goal).
Duke at Connecticut – Look for Coach K to do a better job of protecting his big men down the stretch and for Duke to pull out a close one to avenge their Final Four loss. Oh, this is football? Well, then, that’s different. Connecticut was one of the quieter (and most surprising) good teams last year. in their first game this year, they continued that trend, walloping Murray State (yet another basketball school) 52-14. Duke, on the other hand, crapped the bed against Navy. I have to go with the Huskies here, and it could get ugly.
W. Michigan at Virginia Tech – Should be a bit easier than the Trojans, huh? Look for the Hokies to take out some frustration on the Broncos.
North Carolina at Virginia – Bet the over in this one. Carolina has a good offense and a horrible, horrible defense. Virginia is pretty good at both. On top of that, UNC hasn’t won in Charlottesville since 1981, before most of these players were born. While the Heels have the guns to pull off an upset, I don’t think it’s going to happen. The Cavs will break out the power running game to keep Durant off the field and they’ll cruise, although it might be close for a half.
Temple at Maryland – Temple is having themselves a nice tour of the ACC. Kind of funny, since they were recently booted out of the virtuous Big East. Do I really need to tell you who I think will win this one?
Wake Forest at East Carolina – East Carolina fans are an interesting group. They are very loyal to their team and very sensitive to slights, real or otherwise. Their relationship with NC State is very similar to State’s with UNC. ECU thinks State fans are snobby and look down on the Pirates (which they do). Of course, ECU really hates UNC, but they don’t focus their energies as much on them, as I guess they relate a bit more to NC State. Given all that, you have to think that’ll it’ll really piss them off when a little, preppy private school like Wake Forest beats them to a pulp. Look for Wake to rush for over 300 yards in this one and win handily.
Georgia Tech at Clemson – Clemson’s second straight important ACC game to start the season. This one is a tough one to call, as Clemson showed some warts against Wake last week. I’ll go with the home team here, but I wouldn’t be surprised at all if the Yellow Jackets pulled off the upset.

But immediately upon this I observed that, whilst I thus wished to think that all was false, it was absolutely necessary that I, who thus thought, should be somewhat; and as I observed that this truth, I think, therefore I am, was so certain and of such evidence that no ground of doubt, however extravagant, could be alleged by the sceptics capable of shaking it, I concluded that I might, without scruple, accept it as the first principle of the philosophy of which I was in search. by online poker
