ACC Free College Football Picks for Week 4 2011

Kansas State Wildcats @ Miami Hurricanes (-12.5)

The Miami Hurricanes didn’t even play that well last week, at least not offensively, and they still dropped the hammer down on the Buckeyes of Ohio State. Sure, the Buckeyes aren’t the dominant team they’ve had in the past, but they aren’t a bunch of slouches either. This could be a bit of a let down game for the Hurricanes, or they could just come out and play pretty well. If they get anywhere close to their talent potential on Saturday, it’s going to be a very long day for the Wildcats down in Miami.

I think it will be Miami’s defense that really shuts down the Wildcats. Offensively, look for a heavy rushing attack from Miami – that’s their group to lean on.

Florida State Seminoles @ Clemson Tigers (-1.5)

Clemson is coming off a pretty big win, and that’s pretty scary – especially when they’re facing a more talented team that just lost to Oklahoma in a pretty good game. Yes, this is my least favorite pick of the week – but I have to say, it’s Clemson’s ability to put points on the board that has me on board with them.
Florida State still hasn’t done anything too impressive, except for playing tight with an elite Oklahoma team. Clemson’s defense is decent, however, and if it’s a shootout, I think the Tigers have the advantage. But I’m scared of this one, heck, I wouldn’t put much of the live savings down on this one.
