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 |
BC @ Clemson (-24.5) | Clemson | Clemson | Clemson | Clemson | Clemson | BC | Clemson | Clemson | Clemson by 30+ |
Pitt @ VT (-9) | VT | VPISU | VPISU | VT | Pitt | VT | VT | Pitt | VT |
Navy @ Duke (-3) | Duke | Navy | Navy | Duke | Navy | Duke | Navy | Duke | Navy |
GT @ BYU (-7) | GT | BYU | BYU | BYU | BYU | BYU | BYU | BYU | BYU |
Syracuse @ NCSU (-6.5) | NCSU | Syracuse | NCSU | NCSU | NCSU | NCSU | NCSU | NCSU | NCSU |
UVA @ Maryland (-7) | MD | UVa | UVa? | Maryland | UVa | Maryland :( | UVA :( | UVA | Welp....MD |
Record | 34-20-2 | 33-21-2 | 31-23-2 | 30-24-2 | 28-26-2 | 28-26-2 | 28-26-2 | 24-30-2 | 3-4-0 |
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!
