Virginia Tech (6-3) vs. Georgia Tech (2-7) Game Preview

If want in on this week’s games, sign up with BetMGM


Why Virginia Tech Will Win

The Hokies are finding ways to win.

They’re not consistent enough defensively, but they’re getting the job done offensively and the D has clamped down in three of the last four games.

Now everything is on the table. Win the last three games against Georgia Tech, Pitt and at Virginia, and it’s off to the ACC Championship.

There’s no reason to work too hard on this – start running, and keep running.

The Hokies have hit the 220-yard mark in three of the last four games with a good rotation of backs to go along with whoever is under center.

The Georgia Tech run defense has been a wee bit better after getting hammered early, but it’s still allowing over four yards per carry and 150 yards or more in every game but the early win over USF.

Back in the mix after missing the Notre Dame game, freshman QB Hendon Hooker is the playmaker who’s making it all go. He’s not making mistakes, and he’s running well enough to tear off yards in chunks against this defensive front.

“Go to the bank!” Today’s top pick of the day just released

Why Georgia Tech Will Win

The record isn’t great, but the Yellow Jackets really are playing a whole lot better. They beat Miami, and they pushed Pitt and Virginia over the last few weeks.

Finally, the passing game is starting to kick it in. James Graham is coming off a 229-yard, two-score day in the loss to Virginia. Now he gets to go against a leaky Hokie secondary that’s picking off a lot of passes, but is allowing over 300 yards a game with 14 touchdowns in the last five games.

He doesn’t have to go off, but as long as he’s merely okay, and if the offense can catch a few breaks on takeaways, the Yellow Jackets should be in the game.

There haven’t been a whole lot of big plays coming from the defense, but Virginia Tech has fumbling problems and is next-to-last in the ACC in giveaways.

[lawrence-related id=499899]

What’s Going To Happen

Will Virginia Tech be on letdown alert with the big games coming up with Coastal title implications? Georgia Tech – at home – is doing just enough to hang around, but the offense isn’t good enough to put together a full four quarters to pull this off.

Just when it seems like the game is about to slip away for the Hokies, they’ll get two second half scoring drives to survive and advance. The Yellow Jackets won’t have an answer.

Syracuse (3-6) vs. Duke (4-5) Game Preview

If want in on this week’s games, sign up with BetMGM


Why Syracuse Will Win

Duke’s offense has picked a bad time to take a break.

The offense that was so sharp early in the year has suffered a power outage, failing to score more than 17 points in any of the last three games after scoring 30 or more in the previous five.

The passing game doesn’t have anything happening down the field – the dinking and midrange passes aren’t going anywhere – and the ground game hasn’t been able to get over four yards per pop in any of the last five games.

The Syracuse defense needs the break.

For all of the problems on both sides of the ball, the Orange are great at taking the ball away, and they should be able to generate a few easy scoring opportunities against a Duke offense that’s way too happy to give the ball away.

The Orange have turned it over 16 times in the last five games.

“Go to the bank!” Today’s top pick of the day just released

Why Duke Will Win

The Syracuse offense isn’t doing enough.

On a four-game losing streak, the Orange have yet to beat a Power Five team, they’re winless in ACC play, and they’re not going on enough long and sustained drives.

That’s because the offensive line isn’t doing anything.

Syracuse is still dead last in the nation in sacks allowed, the running game is averaging just three yards per carry, and even when Tommy DeVito has a good game – he threw for 289 yards and three scores against Boston College two weeks ago – it isn’t enough.

Despite all of the recent problems, Duke has enough decent offensive parts that can move the ball however it wants against this Orange D. This is the game for the Blue Devils to try cranking up that passing game again – it should work if Quinten Harris can get hot early.

[lawrence-related id=499899]

What’s Going To Happen

Duke will start to look the part again. Harris will hit over 60% of his passes, the offense will keep things moving enough to keep the Orange O off the field, and the slide will finally stop.

The Blue Devils will get the win they have to have, and then need to win one of their final two games against Wake Forest and Miami to become bowl eligible.

What’s Going To Happen

And now we’re here.

After the firing of Willie Taggart, and after missing out on a bowl game last year, and after all of the underwhelming performances and disappointing moments, this is when the Florida State program should be able to exhale and enjoy itself.

At least, it had better. The 5-5 Noles have to win this week with a trip to Florida to follow. This is when they have to get bowl eligible.

Alabama State isn’t bad. It pushed UAB really, really hard in a 24-19 loss to start the season, and it’ll be bring an aggressive defense that’s one of the best in the FCS against the pass.

The problem is the Hornet offense – it’s not good enough to throw any sort of a scare into a Nole defense that could use the break.

FSU will get this done early.

Coming of a 346-yard day against Boston College, James Blackman will throw two first quarter touchdown passes, and the bowl eligibility party will be on.

Louisville (5-4) vs. NC State (4-5) Game Preview

Why Louisville Will Win

A bowl game is right there for the taking.

After all of the issues and all of the problems of last year, the Cardinals have three more shots – after losing last week at Miami – to get that sixth win. Syracuse should be the backstop next week, but NC State is there to take down.

This isn’t the Wolfpack team of recent seasons. There’s no consistent offense, the passing game isn’t working, and the D isn’t coming up with enough big plays. State is dead last in the nation in takeaways with just five.

On the other side, Micale Cunningham is turning it loose. The Cardinals got rocked by Clemson and Miami over the last few weeks, but he’s averaging close to 12 yards per pass for an offense that’s always pushing and always attacking. NC State’s secondary has allowed 295 yards or more in five of the lat six games.

The Cardinal offense is humming, but …

Why NC State Will Win

The offensive line is going to be in for a long day.

For all of NC State’s problems, its pass rush continues to be incredible and it’s able to camp out in opposing backfields on a regular basis.

Louisville is dead last in the ACC in tackles for loss allowed, getting jumped on by the ACC defenses that can crank up the consistent pressure. State isn’t forcing takeaways off of all the plays behind the line, but it’ll be annoying enough to bother Cunningham and stall the Cardinal ground game.

Offensively, this has to be the game for freshman QB Devin Leary to break out a bit. He hasn’t been accurate, he’s been struggling to keep up the pace, and the O has gone nowhere so far, but the Louisville pass defense gives up plays in chunks. The Pack have to keep pushing the ball down the field and take its shots.

What’s Going To Happen

The Louisville offense will be too much for the Pack.

The State offense simply isn’t working well enough without any one thing it can rely on, but it’s still going to move the ball a bit to keep up in what will be an interesting game for both sides.

The Cardinals will get the big scoring drive in a few key spots in the second half, and NC State won’t.

Why Clemson Will Win

The Tigers might not be playing anyone who’s all that great, but they’re able to rip through their light scrimmages playing exactly like they’re supposed to.

Dog the slate all you want – and you should, even if it’s not their fault – but they’re improving with all the practice. There’s no drama, there’s no concern, and now the team is able to experiment a little bit and keep everyone rested for the bigger games – like this one.

Very, very under the radar, the lines are now built back up after all the big personnel changes from last year’s team. And now everything is humming.

That includes a pass rush that’s coming from everywhere. The linebacking corps, the secondary, and the young defensive front all have guys who can bring pressure on QB Jamie Newman, who won’t have top receiver Sage Surratt to go to. The 66-catch, 1,001-yard, 11 touchdown star is done for the year with a shoulder injury.

The Demon Deacon offense is still going to be just good enough to provide a push, but the defense won’t be able to hold serve if this gets into any sort of a shootout.

The Wake Forest run defense has been hit for 225 yards or more in three of the last five games, but …

“Go to the bank!” Today’s top pick of the day just released

Why Wake Forest Will Win

Bombs away.

Even without Surratt, the ACC’s second-best offense and top passing game isn’t going to stop pushing a Tiger secondary that hasn’t been tested for theist several weeks.

Statistically, the Clemson pass defense is amazing – allowing one touchdown pass, to option-running team Wofford – in the last four games, but it hasn’t seen anything like this since dealing with Kellen Mond and Texas A&M in Week 2.

The talent is there to pull this off without the Tigers being a little bit down, but the Demon Deacons are great at controlling the clock and the tempo when needed – they lead the ACC in third down conversions – and they have better offensive playmakers than they get credit for.

Even without Surratt.

[lawrence-related id=499899]

What’s Going To Happen

This should actually be a wee bit of a test for the Tigers. Wake Forest has the passing game to keep on pressing even if it gets down fast, and there’s a good enough pass rush and defensive front to at least apply a little bit of pressure on Trevor Lawrence.

Clemson is humming now, though, and it’ll win without too much of a concern. The offense will get up fast, but Wake Forest will score just a wee bit to keep this from being a total embarrassment.

Why North Carolina Will Win

North Carolina will go bowling.

Mercer is up next and a date at NC State is right after – the Tar Heels should be good enough to roll through those two – but at 4-5, getting a win against Pitt to muddy up the Coastal is a must.

The offensive production is there – at least enough to deal with this Panther team – there aren’t a slew of mistakes, and Sam Howell and the passing game are getting it done enough to stretch the field.

Somewhat quietly, Howell has thrown for 348 yards or more in three of his last four games with 15 touchdown passes and just three picks. Pitt’s secondary has been excellent statistically, but it hasn’t dealt with a passing attack like this since slipping past UCF.

The Panthers don’t score in bunches and don’t have the juice to come back if the Tar Heels get up fast, but …

“Go to the bank!” Today’s top pick of the day just released

Why Pitt Will Win

The defense really has been terrific.

Again, the secondary isn’t exactly dealing with Patrick Mahomes on a regular basis, but it’s been effective enough to get the job done against the mediocre offenses. The run defense has been the brick wall, helped by a fantastic pass rush to pad the stats.

Pitt has allowed just one team – Duke – to run for over 90 yards in the last six games, and it hasn’t given up more than 167 yards to anyone all year. Howell might be ripping it up, but the Tar Heels have to tun the ball effectively to win.

They’re 3-0 this season when rushing for 200 yards or more, 1-5 when being held to fewer. Again, this Pitt defensive front isn’t giving up much of anything, and it sure isn’t about to get hit for 200, so …

[lawrence-related id=498866]

What’s Going To Happen

It’s unbelievable how North Carolina plays close game after close game after close game. Eight of the nine games have been decided by six points or fewer, and it has come out on the wrong side in five of them.

The Panthers need to win out – at Virginia Tech and Boston College close out the regular season – and need a Virginia loss along the way to take the Coastal for the second straight season. They’ll get Part One of all that in a low-scoring game owned by their defense.

And, of course, it’ll be tight.
