GT (-4) @ N.C. State

[CuseJacket]

GT opened as a 3 point favorite and the line has moved to 4.

Duke is favored by 3 @ Syracuse after opening as a 5.5 point favorite.

Hopefully our defense comes to play. We have yet to prove we can slow down mobile QB's but we've been much more aggressive recently.

Atomic had us as an 8 point favorite before considering the games this last weekend....... http://atomicfootball.com/archive/teams/tm_9.html

No predictions so as not to offend delicate sensibilities and predict early, but NC State doesn't have a defense. They will need to outscore us (duh). They have ok STs at 53rd to our 20th before the weekend's games. NC State will get their points passing.

If our D wasn't Gamble, we should be able to stop ncsu. Our D should be as good as cuse. I really want Byerly to play the entire 4th because of our lead. Their D should be that bad. Of course, if our D from previous weeks reappears, it could be close. They run hunh.

HUNH means their D will get very tired with little time off the field. No wonder they have given up more points than us this year ...... http://espn.go.com/college-football/conferences/standings/_/id/1/acc-conference

Well, I am pleasantly surprised by this. I don't want us to get any respect, and I was afraid the line would be like 7-9 for us... We need to play with a chip on our shoulder.

This makes some sense. We looked good on D with Gamble. Without him who knows. NC State can score points. I think we will win by two possessions. Anywhere from 9-16.

We need to stay hungry and keep getting better so we can compete with Clemson and Georgia. Still have A LOT to work on.

Unless we turn the ball over or make numerous stupid penalties we should cover the 4 easily. Both defenses are about the same but our offense is light years ahead of theirs.
