Big East Coast BiACC - ACC Preview, Week 9
October 28, 2010 | By Benjamin Miraski
The ACC drew the short straw this week and will open with the dreaded Thursday night game.
The good news for the MRISports writers is that the computer has taken over picking these games. Isn’t life great?
Last week the MRI went 3-2 and probably would have been one better had the human part of the equation not read too much into the results.
This week we are going to go off the assumption that the lines are fairly devised. That is after all the assumption the men in Vegas are under when they create them.
Now the MRI was never designed to pick against the spread, but let’s give it a shot for a few weeks and see what happens.
And this week might be the best indicator of whether the MRI’s judgment against the line is accurate as every favorite is … a favorite.
To the games!
Thursday night:
Florida State at North Carolina State (+3.5) - Florida State (54 percent)
Saturday:
Clemson at Boston College (+7) - Clemson (57 percent)
Miami at Virginia (+15) - Miami (70 percent)
Wake Forest at Maryland (-5.5) - Maryland (78 percent)
Duke at Navy (-14) - Navy (94 percent)
Patsy Party: William and Mary at North Carolina
Lazy Saturday: Georgia Tech (Clemson loss has to smart), Virginia Tech (JMU who?)
The MRI went 3-2 in last week’s picks.
