Game 1: Georgia Tech @ Miami

Line: Miami -6

This is a chance for both teams to prove that they are for real. Georgia Tech had high

expectations this pre-season, but is coming off a win at home vs. Clemson where they blew

a big first half lead. Georgia Tech did win the game 30-27, but needs to pay attention and fix

what they did wrong in the second half.

Miami comes off a bye week after an impressive win at Florida State in week one.

Many, including myself think the Canes are for real this year and should challenge

Virginia Tech for the ACC championship. Quarterback Jacory Harris looked impressive

in week one on the road. Lets see if being at home will help him continue that success.

I say take Miami to cover the -6. The Canes are for real.

Game 2: Nebraska @ Virginia Tech

Line: Virginia Tech -5

These two teams played last year at Nebraska and Virginia Tech was able to win then

by a final score of 35-30. This years game moves across the country to Blacksburg, Virginia.

Nebraska is a team that in week three still does not know how good or bad they really are as

they have faced two weak opponents. They have been able to hold their opponents to a total

of 12 points combined, so the blackshirts defense looks to be back, but again, they have not

really been challenged as of yet.
