Now that the TNIAAM Pick'em contest is updated, as Week 7 & 8 standings were posted Tuesday, we're ready to get back to picking games!
This week, there a bunch of ACC games to predict with the biggest being Florida State 22-point favorites against Miami, who is the No. 7-ranked team in the nation. Of course, you can argue the Hurricanes aren't the seventh best team in the nation, but, wowzer, that's a lot of points. (Syracuse is destined to be spotted at least 35 points in a few weeks.)
My lock'em pick this week is probably North Carolina (-4) at N.C. State, however, nothing I pick nowadays is a lock.
Anyway, good luck this week and it feels good to be back.
