Wahooze ACC Picks -- Week Eight

I told you about Wisconsin beating Ohio State.  Give me credit for that, at least.

Last Week: 6-2 (4-4 ATS)

Season: 46-13 (31-21 ATS)

Actually... I'm going to need a little bit more proof.

Duke @ Virginia Tech (-27.0)
Why even bother to go into detail here.  This game will be like medieval torture for the Blue Devils.  The brazen bull?  Thumbscrews?  The rack?  The wheel?  The stake?  The pillory?  Scavenger's daughter?  Breast ripper?  Or (my personal favorite) the Pear of Anguish?  Yeah, I think Tech is going to give Dook an anal pear this weekend.  63-6, VT

Maryland @ Boston College (-4.5)
Did you see the BC/FSU game last weekend?  The Eagles are showing serious signs of life, especially Montel Harris, who gashed Florida State for 191 rushing yards.  Also, you should know this: Maryland is not nearly as good as its 4-2 record might suggest.  I like BC here.  28-21, BC

Georgia Tech @ Clemson (-6.0)
Wow, BIG game here.  The Wreck was sluggish against MTSU last week while Clemson handled its business easily against Maryland.  I think this could be a really good game.  Actually, I'm looking for a high scoring affair, where turnovers ultimately determine the end result.  Georgia Tech fumbles: 4, Kyle Parker INTs: 2.  Clemson wins.  38-31, Clemson

Eastern Michigan @ Virginia (-24.0)
The UNC game was rock bottom for the team under Mike London.  Now it's time for the baby steps forward to begin.  It all starts against EMU, which is hemorrhaging 442 yards and an NCAA-worst 43.4 points per game against the likes of Miami (OH), Ohio U, and Vanderbilt.  Dual-threat QB Alex Gillett does pose a challenge for an Orange Crush defense that has really struggled to contain quarterbacks and limit their running lanes.  But after Gillett, EMU doesn't have much in the way of weapons.  I'm looking for UVA to come into this game fired up and looking to make a statement by running the ball down the Eagles' throats, and gang-tackling on defense.  It's just a hunch, but I think we'll be an Indiana Jones rolling boulder of butcher knives for this game.  45-10, UVA

North Carolina @ Miami (-6.5)
After last week's game, Tarhole fans are now my third-most hated fanbase, behind only Virginia Tech and Maryland.  I wish only darkness and despair for them and their team for the remainder of this season, and until the NCAA drops the SMU death penalty bomb on their scumbag coaches and rotten program.  As for this game, I think the Canes aren't playing as well as they can while UNC is playing way over their heads.  The Butch Davis Bowl could go down to which QB plays better... and (as we well know) T.J. Yates has been incinerator-hot.  28-17, UNC
