Alright, everyone, with one week down, our ACC Pick 'Em continues with another exciting week of conference play.
If you don't remember the rules: Post your picks for the 10 ACC games this week down in the comments. (Remember, we are picking against the spread; if you pick Clemson in the SC St. - Clemson matchup, you actually picking them to "cover the spread" and win by more than 52.5 points). If you participated last week, go ahead and score yourself and keep a running tally of your record. 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 only need to pick 80% of games to qualify, so if you missed out last week, it's not too late to hop on in.
Here's the STL team's picks for week 2 and records to date. We are all getting beaten by a girl, and I am getting beaten by everyone in the world:

Middle Tenn. @ UNC (-18) | UNC | UNC | UNC | UNC | MTSU | UNC | UNC | UNC | UNC |

#HOTSPROTSTAKES:
Game | Consensus | "Skinny" |
SC St. @ Clemson (-52.5) | SC St. | I mean, if you win by 53 you're just rubbing it in (Looking at you for winning by 63 last weekend, Nike) -WC |
Florida (-3) @ Miami | Miami | Florida likes putting teams in shackles and holding them down for four quarters until they stop kicking and screaming. Luckily Miami players are good at escaping from shackles, cuffs, and all manner of iron-based restraints. -PMW |
Middle Tenn. @ UNC (-18) | UNC | UNC is really not getting many points at all at home against a pretty middling Middle Tennessee St. team. Either something is off, or Vegas knows more than we do...Crap. -BS |
Western Carolina @ VT (-42) | W. Carolina | So...for VT to beat WCU by at least 42 points, they will have to score at least 42 points. LOL. -BS |
Richmond @ NC St. (-23) | NC St. | NC State really has the potential to finish near the top of the ACC this year, so it wouldn't surprise me even a little bit to see the Wolfpack absolutely trample the spiders this week. Trample? Do wolves trample? -BL |
Wake Forest @ BC (-3) | Even | An evenly matched battle between the basement of the ACC Atlantic has divided the STL team! - BS |
Duke (-6) @ Memphis | Duke | A unanimous decision that Duke is going to cover? What kind of crazy town is this?? -BL |
ODU @ Maryland (-19.5) | ODU | Aw, I kind of feel bad for Maryland, because come on you guys, it's their last year in the ACC and they just want to go out with a little respeHAHAHA I HATE YOU MARYLAND. -BL |
Syracuse @ Northwestern (-12) | Northwestern | The Fightin Fitzgeralds will do it again. I don't know what "it" is, but "it" beat Cal, so... -PMW |
Oregon (-22) @ Virginia | Virginia | Picked against the Hoos (and Gamecocks) last week so I have to keep the good vibes flowing! (Also taking the Bulldogs) -WC |
