Week 7 Results: Rick: 7-8; Flip: 7-8
Friday, October 23
Duke @ Virginia (-1.5, 48) 7:00 pm (ESPN) - Fairly inconsequential game in the ACC, though both teams will still be looking for wins in order to become bowl eligible. Duke won four straight, including its first conference game, a 35-7 romp of Stanford. Since then, they’ve dropped two straight in the ACC, 28-25 at Georgia Tech and 24-20 last week to North Carolina.
The Cavaliers are 2-2 in conference play and have not lost a home game. That trend should continue in what could become a defensive struggle.
Coin Flip: Virginia
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Cavaliers 23 Blue Devils 17
Both teams are 3-1 in the MWC, so this should be a bang-up affair. Wyoming hasn’t lost at home this season, and lost to the Falcons, 24-21, on the road last season. They’ve already matched their win total from last season, so they’re likely to return the favor.
Coin Flip: Air Force
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Cowboys 24 Falcons 21
Pittsburgh @ 1 Miami (-21, 50.5) 12:00 pm (ESPN) - Could another #1 team lose top dog status again for a third straight week?
Probably not, but there’s a possible case that Pitt’s defense will keep this game close enough to make dog bettors happy. The Panthers were 5-0 until back-to-back losses to North Carolina (21-17) and at Boston College (27-21), after losing QB Mason Heintschel for the season. True freshman Corey Dailey will start for Pitt and if the Panthers can generate any offense at all, they may come close to a win.
Coin Flip: Miami
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Hurricanes 35 Panthers 20
Michigan’s season has gone south after consecutive losses to Iowa and Minnesota. Last week’s 21-18 win over Penn State was nothing to get excited over and the Hoosiers are likely to come back in a big way. They’re still 3-1 and in the hunt for the CFP. Michigan suffers from lack of consistency on offense.
Coin Flip: Indiana
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Hoosiers 30 Wolverines 16
The Red Raiders are tied for first in the conference at 3-0, and, 6-0 overall with BYU and Utah, and their offense has stepped it up recently, whipping Arizona State, 53-25, last Saturday.
Coin Flip: Cincinnati
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Red Raiders 42 Bearcats 21
A letdown is likely for Auburn, and LSU rebounded with a 31-0 win over Mississippi State last week after being upended at Kentucky, 35-34, two back. Can 4-2 Auburn do it again and maybe break into the Top 25? Taking points at home is often a good call in the wide open SEC.
Coin Flip: LSU
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Auburn Tigers 30 LSU Tigers 27
