Week 10
View results for Week 9

 

Virginia Tech at East Carolina
every Expert is a nostradamus!

Tom - Hard to believe Tech is a 12 1/2 point favorite to win this one. Hasn't anybody learned anything? Tech

Kevin - Perhaps ECU can have David Garrard as the token NFL alum on the sidelines like Bruce Smith and LT have served in recent weeks in watching the home team lose these Thursday night games. Hokies this week.

Jay - VT, certianly?

Vip - It's the Graspers last chance to nuke a BCS team this year. Here's saying the Hokies rebound. VT wins 28-20.

Ivan - Hokies send East Somalia wannabies to the gallows

Paul - The road has not been kind to the Hokies, but they remember last year. Hokies win and get back on track.

Curmudgeon - VT is favored by 12. If I were a betting man, I'd put lots of money on ECU. But I will pick Virginia Tech

John - Soo-ee, soo-ee, Hokies make Carolina-style BBQ out of the Pirates

Jim - Frank and the team try winning one for a change. Tech wins.

 

 

Virginia at Miami FL
Circumstances!

Tom - It would be just like algroh to pull this one out, but he won't. Canes

Kevin - Those November games will really get after you, al. You'll always have the Orange Bowl finale. Nice to see the Canes come back in the rain last week in Winston. Earlier reports indicated such feats were not possible. algroh loses again.

Jay - Stick a fork in UVA and algroh. Canes.

Vip - UVa's record in the Sunshine State ain't too sunny. UM wins 41-17.

Ivan - These are not happy days at the airport. Canes

Paul - The calendar has turned to November so algroh's October magic is over. Canes

Curmudgeon - I think Miami can handle the Chess Master. Miami

John - This has ugly written on it - Canes

Jim - We're gonna miss algroh. Canes win.

 

 

Maryland at NC State
Experts know their sh...stuff!

Tom - Bad is at home and Worse is the visitor. Bad wins. Pack

Kevin - Just what the doctor ordered for TOB and Co. Nothing says home win like the arrival of Maryland. Pack

Jay - Sate over the worst team in the ACC. See ya Ralph.

Vip - These are the worst ACC teams this year. NCSU wins 3-2.

Ivan - unlike pergola aviator, maytag will return next year. Coyotes

Paul - When in doubt go with the home team. State.

Curmudgeon - NC State is playing bad this year, but I think they get their 1st win in conference. North Carolina State University

John - Tough one, but State should prevail at home

Jim - If the Pack sells out this clunker, my hat is off to them. State wins.

 

 

Wake Forest- Georgia Tech
Experts Undefeated!

Tom - It's going too be interesting seeing what the officials call. Probably not much. Wreck

Kevin - Only someone with a concussion would pick Wake given we saw how they handled Navy's option a few weeks ago against inferior players as compared to what they will see on Saturday. Duke, you're our only hope. Jackets.

Jay - GT and it won't be close.

Vip - The Paul Johnson scorched Earth campaign continues. GT wins 44-20.

Ivan - gimme pick. we all know what's gonna happen. gits

Paul - GT continues to roll towards the Coastal title.

Curmudgeon - The Baptist can't handle the Engineers. Georgia Tech

John - Wake has shown me nothing that indicates they can slow the GT juggernaut - wasps

Jim - How does Hooville look after last Saturday, Grobe? GT wins.

 

 

Florida State at Clemson

Tom - Pretty soon the game formally known as the Bowden Bowl is going to be Bowdenless. Tigers

Kevin - Winner of this game likely wins the ACC, especially if Clemson survives like I think they will. Stability on the coaching staff at Clemson is a good thing for Tech fans. Clem.

Jay - You gotta take Clemson but in this division of the ACC anything can and will happen.

Vip - Dare I jump on the Clemson bandwagon. What the hell----CU wins 28-27.

Ivan - this one is for tampa. geronimo! Oh Snap!

Paul - Clemson is just the better team...or at least the one with more weapons. Tigers

Curmudgeon - Florida State sures knows offense. Unfortunately, they can't spell defense. At home, I pick Clemson

John - Clemson at home - I'm taking them

Jim - Can the Noles find more magic? FSU wins. Oh Snap!

 

 

Duke at North Carolina

Tom - Times have changed but this one will probably end the same way. Heels

Kevin - Duke near the top of in the Coastal standings? What? That's like saying "Temple is bowl eligible". Oh yeah.... I think the UNC defense might be a bit much for Thad and Co. this week if recent momentum is any indication. Heels at home

Jay - Even bad Duke teams give UNC fits and this Duke team is not bad. It is however not good enough to control the line of scrimmage in the 4th quarter. UNC.

Vip - Does Butchie have another face-saving win in store? Should be a good matchup. Heels win 24-20.

Ivan - oh, heck... why not... eDuk Oh Snap!

Paul - It wouldn't surprise me if Duke wins, but I can't muster the gumption to pick them twice in a row on the road. Heels

Curmudgeon - This is a pesky game. I'm going with the Methodists. Would like to see them win out. Duke Oh Snap!

John - Butch cocky after upsetting our beloved Hokies, goes down in ignominious flames at home to Puke. Oh Snap!

Jim - Yeah, Duke is no longer Duke but the Heels are still better. Carolina wins.

 

 

Ohio State at Penn State
Experts meet Dunkirk!

Tom - Not the Nuts. Joe Pas WRONG!

Kevin - The Buckeyes have a job to do the following week on Iowa. This won't be that week. State Penn WRONG!

Jay - Very tough call, game of the week. Hunch say Lions. WRONG!

Vip - PSU WRONG!

Ivan - jopa and his knitting loins WRONG!

Paul - Nits WRONG!

Curmudgeon - Think JoPa gets this one at home. Penn State WRONG!

John - Lions at home should win, unless they do not. But, Lions. WRONG!

Jim - Is this still a big game? Joepa wins. WRONG!

 

 

Oklahoma at Nebraska

Tom - Thanks Sam! That was damn nice of you to come back and let us build the whole offense around you then tear up your shoulder. Thanks a bunch. Sooners WRONG!

Kevin - Just don't turn the ball over 5 times at home, Huskers. Best fans win this week over Stoops and Co.

Jay - Sooners but i like the Huskers getting 6. WRONG!

Vip - Nebraska hasn't been that impressive of late. OU wins 24-12. WRONG!

Ivan - this pick is for you, Okie Hokie. impatient settlers. WRONG!

Paul - Nebraska in an upset.

Curmudgeon - Nebraska has gone into a swoon like us. Oklahoma WRONG!

John - What a disappointment Nebraska has turned out to be, they looked like a great team at Lane. Sooners. WRONG!

Jim - Well, this is no longer a big game, mostly because it is rarely played anymore. Huskers win.

 

 

LSU at Alabama
Experts win!

Tom - As much as I'd like to see LSU win this game, it won't happen. Bama

Kevin - No reason to stray from the script now. Bama

Jay - When in doubt take the best defense.: Bama will as usual find a way.

Vip - I LOVE the SEC! 'Bama with a week off is a safe bet. Tide rolls 24-14.

Ivan - should be fun. elephants stomp out tigers.

Paul - Alabama

Curmudgeon - Since this is at home I'll go with the Red Elephants even though they don't have an offense. Alabama

John - Take the home team - Tide

Jim - The Tide could really screw a season here, but won't. Bama wins.

 

 

Kansas at Kansas State

Tom - Home team because they both are pretty bad this year. KState

Kevin - Getting that last win for bowl eligibility isn't going so well, huh, big guy? It doesn't come this week either. ex-JUCO's win at home.

Jay - Toughest call of the week. My guess is Kansas. WRONG!

Vip - KSU at home.

Ivan - k-state lost to u-lala, for goodness sake. j-pigeons. WRONG!

Paul - Jayhawks WRONG!

Curmudgeon - Kansas has been dropping like flies lately. I think they are still a little better than Kstate. Kansas WRONG!

John - State with the upset.

Jim - Do they play for a cup? Kansas wins. WRONG!

 

 

Name That RUTS

 

UCF at Texas

Tom - Boy that's a tough schedule you have there Mack. Horns by 38

Kevin - Texas mails this in by 30. BONUS!

Jay - The current betting line is Texas by 35. Other than VT by 16 vs. UNC last week this is the craziest line I have seen this season. I'm half tempted to pick UCF to win. Instead I'll pick the Horns by 13.

Vip - Mack and Colt collect some BCS style points. UT-Austin wins 45-10.

Ivan - i don't even know what the spread is. bevo plus 41.

Paul - Texas by 27

Curmudgeon - Texas will win by what ever Brown wants to. Numerical score would be Texas by 35

John - Texas by 28

Jim - Horns by 28.
