The upgraded CPU in my computer finally started earning its NIL by going 9-4 last week, boosting my season total to 16-13. Here's the link to last week: https://bearinsider.com/forums/1/topics/136174
The usual for this week, odds are for the home team, my fearless and clueless picks in italics.
Miami @ Wake Forest +20.5: Family connections have me rooting for the Demon Deacons. But reality says Hurricanes cover in the end.
Syracuse @ Pitt -10.5: Will the Orangemen self destruct two weeks in a row? Hoping they don't, mostly to make our win look better. Syracuse beats the spread.
North Carolina @ Clemson -3.5: Dabo Swinney keeps his job another week by covering against the Fighting Belichiks.
NC State @ Vanderbilt -3.5: Neither team has been overwhelming so far, but NC State shows enough to beat the spread.
FSU @ Alabama -19.5: The Norvell death watch continues. Alabama covers.
SMU @ Louisville -1.5: This should be a very entertaining game. Mustangs pull away to beat the spread.
Furd @ Duke -9.5: Furd makes then work for it, but Duke covers.
West Virginia @ Virginia -10: Cavaliers cover.
Virginia Tech @ Maryland +3: Expecting a close game with VT covering in the end.
Mercer @ Georgia Tech -38.5: Mercer asks for mercy as GT easily beats the spread.
Maine @ BC -38.5: Two bad teams in a bad game. BC wins but not quite the body bag game they hope for. Maine beats the spread.
NL yet on Cal vs. Wagner. After last week's disaster, you have to wonder if Wagner hopes they still get the payout if they forfeit to Cal. I'll update if there are some actual odds.
