Every week I'll give you my picks for five ACC games and five matchups around the country. Lines are from The Spread. Gambling isn't encouraged or discouraged, but if you're using my picks as your lone resource, well, you're gonna get what you deserve.

Clemson +5 at Georgia Tech
Connecticut +3.5 vs. North Carolina

Yes, I think it will another bad week for ACC football. Don't look for Virginia Tech to cover the 19.5 points its getting against Marshall, either. Only BC will win comfortably against an FBS opponent this week. However, if UNC can go on the road and beat UConn we will officially have a fourth player in the Coastal.
Nationally, I started out taking Purdue, Penn State and Michigan. Then I realized that would be placing my faith in three Big Ten teams. I then changed my strategy.
