\"ACC\"
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Last week the ACC had a good outing verses non-conference foes in week 1.\u00a0 Florida State and Clemson won their big SEC matchups. While Virginia falls flat on their face verses FCS Richmond. Overall the ACC did very well going 10-2 in non-conference which is 2nd<\/sup> among Power Five conferences so far this season.\u00a0 Let see how the ACC dose in Week 2 of College Football.<\/p>\n

My record on ACC picks.\u00a0 (12-1) only lost was that Virginia games.\u00a0 Thanks Virginia!<\/p>\n

#13 Louisville (1-0) (-12)\u00a0\u00a0 @\u00a0\u00a0 Syracuse (1-0)\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Last week Lamar Jackson of Louisville introduce himself to the nation. Yea I know, they played UNC Charlotte but this kid has skills.\u00a0 The Cards were never challenged and cruised to an easy victory.\u00a0 On Friday night, the Cards head up to the No-AC Carrier Dome in Syracuse. Where the Orange had a good showing verse Colgate. Louisville in a much bigger test and Syracuse is at best a five win team this season.\u00a0 Look for Syracuse to come out strong early but fall late as Louisville defense will be too much to handle.<\/p>\n

This game has no chance of being an upset.\u00a0 Even if the Bucs will full strength, they don\u2019t have a chance. Now with those players missing the game only means one thing. FSU will see a lot of younger players getting playing time in which is never bad.\u00a0 Florida State has a chance to make this game a record setting game if those 14 players for Southern are starters.\u00a0\u00a0 Anyways, the Noles reopen a new look Doak Campbell with a new scoreboard and Club seating.\u00a0 No way the Noles lose this one.<\/p>\n

So I think Dabo and the Tigers should be ready. Really can\u2019t say any more about this one but \u201cGood Luck Troy\u201d Clemson wins but fails to cover!<\/p>\n

You know dang well that Wake Forest has a problem!\u00a0 The problem is scoring points.\u00a0 Last week, Wake had 175 yards of total offence and scored on the opening drive.\u00a0 This week Wake faces off against an ACC foe in Duke that can score some points. Last week the Blue Devils made easy work on UNCC to prepare for this one.\u00a0 Duke is Bowl bound this season but Wake is far from it.\u00a0 Duke wins and cover.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>North Carolina State as a road favorite is scary.\u00a0 East Carolina has feast on ACC teams these past few season and I don\u2019t think it will stop this week.\u00a0 I am not sold of the Wolfpack as a 3 point favorites on the Road. I will stay away of this game if I was in your shoes. \u00a0 I will take East Carolina straight up.<\/p>\n

While UMass was deep into the 4th \u00a0quarter before the Gators pulled away to victory.\u00a0\u00a0 If you like low scoring?\u00a0 This is the game for you. \u00a0Boston College is 15 point favorites over UMass but I will take BC in this game but not to cover.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Ok Miami! You did beat FAMU last week, but your Twitter handle thinks you played Alabama! Kind of went little\u00a0too far Miami to start the season. \u00a0You are not back Miami!\u00a0 Beating FAMU, and even this week FAU means nothing about your Swag of Miami.\u00a0 Yes, you\u2019re ranked for the first time since 2013.

Lions and Panthers finally will clash in Pittsburgh.\u00a0 This should be one of the best games this week in the ACC so it could be worth watching.\u00a0 Pitt looked good verse Villanova last week and everyone should be rooting Pitt RB Conner as he fought cancer to get back to playing \u00a0football.\u00a0 For that, I will pick Pitt to win and just cover.<\/p>\n

Seeing the Voles as a nine point favorite is kind of a joke. With this game being played in Bristol Tennessee. Which is halfway between both schools that travel very well.\u00a0 There will be over 100,000 plus fans in the stands to witness this great event.\u00a0 The Hookies will be fired up and I do believe that all Voles fans will be on edge of their seats at the end of this game. Unlike some people I will like to see the Voles lose but I don\u2019t see it.\u00a0 This game will be close to the end with a Tennessee victory.<\/p>\n
