Streaking the Lawn ACC Pick 'Em: Week 7

Get your picks in now!

Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports

Time flies when you're having fun - (Wait...were we having fun?) it's time for Week 7

You guys all know the rules by now, but in case you don't: Post your picks for the 6 ACC matchups this week down in the comments. (Remember, we are picking against the spread; if you pick Maryland in the UVA-Maryland matchup, you actually picking them to "cover the spread" and win by more than 7 points, and you're also a terrible person). Here's a link to last week's competition.

At the end of the season, the three commenters with the best records win "Keep Calm and Streak the Lawn" t-shirts! You need to pick 80% of games to qualify for that coveted prize.

Once again, there's no Thursday night ACC game this week, so the deadline for picks is noon on Saturday.

Here are our week 6 picks and comments:

Game Tiki Paul Will Matt T. Caroline Tim Brian L Brian S Sully

And here's the STL consensus, along with our game thoughts:

Game Consensus Comments (Consensus)
BC @ Clemson (-24.5) Clemson BC's lone road game was a 35-7 loss to a bad USC team. Clemson is a lot better than USC. -PG
Pitt @ VT (-9) VT The Hokies have appared to shake off their early season struggles with impressive wins over GT and UNC. Can they do to Pitt what UVA did...while actually scoring points?
Navy @ Duke (-3) Navy Thank goodness that the Midshipman are allowed to play through the government shutdown so they can embarass the ACC even more!
GT @ BYU (-7) BYU BYU wins...but we probably want GT to win for RPI reasons, since we may play both, but have more mutual opponents with GT and...oh, wrong sport
Syracuse @ NCSU (-6.5) NCSU A little skittish about picking NCSU after an awful letdown last week, but I'll give the points, since they're back at home this time
UVA @ Maryland (-7) UVA Well, this wasn't the most overwhelming "consensus" ever. Picking Maryland to beat UVA is disgusting, guys.

Finally, here are your standings to date.  Good luck all!
