TNIAAM College Pick'em Week 4: Schedule & Betting Lines

Week 4 is here, let the fake betting begin!

Rich Barnes-USA TODAY Sports

Going to make this week's TNIAAM college football pick'em preview short and sweet. There's a few Syracuse football related things I'd like to get to and as much as I love putting together previews for each game it can get a bit time consuming.

However, before I post the games below there's a few things I'd like to point out and comment on: 1) I am sorry for not having Thursday night's N.C. State vs. No. 3 Clemson showdown on here, but figured it was unfair to have everyone post picks today. Feel free to share your picks for tonight, as Clemson enters as 13.5-point favorites.

2) If you're not going to pick Syracuse this week to cover, well, somebody should come HUNT you down. (Get it?) Last week, many of you doubted the Orange to cover their 30-point spread and you all lost. Remember, this is Tulane and Terrel Hunt is now our quarterback.

3) Two Three HUGE point spreads are on the docket as Florida State hosts Bethune-Cookman,, Miami hosts Savannah State and Virginia hosts VMI. I'm tempted to take FSU, but I just don't see Miami covering 60. Also, I can't see myself rooting for someone to destroy somebody else by 60. Also, I am freakin terrible at gambling, so DO NOT take my advice.

4) Alright, my one advice this week is to NOT pick Wake Forest. The Demon Deacons have yet to cover a point spread in their first three games, and it really hasn't been close.

5) My stat of the week is: So far this season, Maryland is 3-0 at covering the spread, Georgia Tech is 2-0 and Florida State is 2-0.

From here on out, I am going to post 13 games to pick from. Last week there was only 10 and it screwed with the overall standings, as now I need to post results via win percentage. Keeping each week at 13 games will help out with tallying results.

Alright, here are the games. As always, copy, paste and pick your results in the comments section.
