Two Tickets To Paradise – Week Eight Of ACC Nation Pigskin Picks

Football
ACC Nation Staff @accnation –

There are some spectacular matchups left on the ACC football schedule. It’s time to break down, grab two tickets, do some tailgating and have some fun. This season will be over before you know it. The best part? Things are truly just beginning to heat up and this year, it’s in both divisions of the ACC. Whatever ‘assumed certainty’ we had as to how the ACC would roll this year was tossed out the window, baby, bath water and all. Wins, hereon out, are critical on two fronts. It’s all or nothing time for teams who want a shot at a conference title or maybe just to get into a bowl. Last but not least there are a couple of coaches who may be looking at pitching tent in new towns next year so the pressure is on.

There are one or two outliers among the picks this week including the usual mixed bag. In our first matchup Jim Bresnahan is stepping out and picking Army as the surprise winner against Wake Forest. He has some concerns about the Deacs handling the wonky offense of the Black Knights.

Unless that one meteor that everyone overlooked happens to strike Tallahassee, Florida State should have an easy go of it with UMass.

Mixed bag collection number one is Syracuse at Virginia Tech. The oddsmakers say the Hokies have this by a field goal while 4 out of 7 on our board are going with Syracuse. Something in the air? This could be the two tickets game to hang out at this week.

Our next mixed bag is Clemson at Pitt. The Panthers are the favorite but haven’t sold 3 out of 7 on our board as they still hold out for the Tigers to turn the offensive corner.

Xayveon and Dave bravely go where few have gone before in picking Boston College over Louisville. The oddsmakers are saying it’s a Cards game.

No one is thinking this is anything other than a win for the Wahoos as they host Georgia Tech. Mike thinks it will be closer than the -6 1/2 posted above.

Xayveon simply likes Miami. He’s playing one his ‘Homer’ cards of the season in this board. NC State is on a tear and it looks like they may only be in third gear and headed to fifth when it truly counts.

Notre Dame hasn’t done a whole lot to impress this season. Unfortunately for USC they’ve done far less. Take the win and run. Xayveon flexes that second ‘Homer’ card. Misery loves company.
