UNC@V.TECH

Well so for the first 2 weeks werent to shabby i guess for NCAA. Went

Spreads 22-19 +45 units

O/U's 8-8 +12 units

2 Team Teasers 5-2 +31 units

4 Team Teasers push

36-30 overall with a total of +88 units. So now we will get onto tonights game.

 Tonight we have in my opinion 2 totally opposite teams in all aspects of the game. First lets look at North Carolina. So they have dominated the likes of Georgia Southern, Citadel and ECU. What do these 3 have in common? The defenses are absolutely horrid. Ok so they have one descent win and its nothing to brag about over UCONN which was a 12-10 game. So lets look at their loses. First one we will look at is Florida State. A team that i picked to win the game last week and in all honestly V.T would put this team through the ground and i dont want to hear N.C was killing them, Yeah WAS and like i stated last week this North Carolina team cannot put teams away and they didnt. Next we will look at Virginia, this team can play some defense but the offense is not to good but managed to beat this Carolina team by 13. And last i wanna look at G.T. Every week in these games especially during the week i look for teams that are similiar to the teams that are about to play that has already loss to or beat the team in question. Well folks we have a winner. G.T and V.T are very similiar in speed, agility and are closer than you can imagine to each other which G.T beat this V.T team at G.T by 5. So now we have a North Carolina team that went on the road to G.T. and manage to lose by 17 and i watched that game and this was one of G.T's worse games of the year offensively and yet still manage to pull off a 17 point win. Now lets look at V.T's games. Well folks the more i look at this schedule the more impressed i am. Can you tell me one team they have played that are not at least respectable within their own conferences. They have 1 loss at home and it was to the #1 team in the country by 10 and another loss like i said on the road to G.T by 5. Other games include a win on the road over duke by 8 on the road,a beat down of Boston College by 24 at HOME, another beat down of Miami by 24 at HOME, a Marshall team that quiet honestly has not played all that bad this year and beat them by 42 at HOME. The only close win they had at home was Nebraska which was by 1. The fact is folks this Virginia Tech team is coming off a bye and a loss. That is not a good combination for and opponent when they have to come play this team at HOME. The special teams are gonna come out in full force tonight and i see at least one blocked punt, a blocked FG, and a kickoff return for a TD. The problem that North Carolina is gonna have even if they manage to get a couple turnovers at best they come away with field goals. The simple fact is North Carolina plays bad on the road and Virginia Tech is a home beast. So all in all i cant see this game even staying remotely close.With that said GL this week and i will be taking

V.T -16 (10 units)

Over 43 (5 units)

2 Team Teaser -10 and over 37 (15 units)

Final Score Prediction 34-12

North Carolina Tar Heels (+17) @ Virginia Tech Hokies Pick: The 14th ranked Hokies come into this one looking to get back on track after taking it on the chin in a loss to Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets came to play defensively, making most things tough on Tyrod Taylor and company, and a normally stout defensive front was beaten early and often by the Yellow Jackets rushing attack. It’s a short week for the Hokies, not always the easiest way to cover a 17 point spread against a tough conference opponent.

The Tar Heels come off a tough loss to Florida State last Thursday Night. They were on top for most of the game, getting up 24-6 in the 3rd quarter before FSU fought back with huge passing totals, torching a defense that played very well in the first half, and had previously been ranked #1 in the ACC. The Tar Heels would score only a field goal going forward, and the Seminoles scored a go-ahead touchdown with 6 minutes left in the 4th, it would turn out to be a game winner. A win here would certainly be sweet redemption for the Heels.

Looking at this game, I like the match-up problems Carolina’s stout run-defense has against a normally talented rushing game from the Hokies. I know UNC isn’t going to throw the ball a lot, they aren’t a passing team, but they have been known to grind out yards on the ground, and any team that can run and stop the run, is a nice value bet at +17. If you look at Virginia Tech’s losses, and game where they struggled – they got out-rushed. If the Heels can commit to stopping that Hokies run game, and put up some yardage on the ground themselves, an upset could happen. Either way, a cover seems likely.

Ok now wtf. People if you want to comment on the game or anything thats fine. But dont bring youre dame write-ips in to my forums or anyone elses for that matter. This is getting old and foolish. You start youre own damn forum and put this info that is quiet honestly garbage in youre own. PERIOD THANKS

Short week for the Hokies. Even more of a reason to stay out of my forum. They are coming off a bye idiot.

mdc- No problem pal.

MoneyManager- Im with ya bud.

Oh and V.T beat Boston College by 34 not 24. My mistake.
