Week 10 Preview: Thursday and Friday

THURSDAY
7:30 PM

#24 Virginia Tech (6-2) @ Georgia Tech (5-3)
Two teams that are probably overrated. In the ACC shock? Guess which team has the statistically better defense! Hint: it's the one with the better offense too. PLUS I get to call the upset that continues the ACC's frustrating parity. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
My Pick: Georgia Tech
Confidence (out of 5): 2


FRIDAY
7:00 PM

Temple (3-5) @ Ohio (4-5)
Oh, who knows. Damn MAC. Ohio's probably more talented, and they have the better offense, which may be what matters in the defenseless realm of the MAC. Still, Temple's riding a three-game winning streak, so why not go with momentum?
My Pick: Temple
Confidence: 1


7:30 PM

Akron (3-5) @ Bowling Green (4-4)
Kind of a similar thing to the Temple/Ohio game, to an extent, except everything's in BGSU's favor. The Falcons have the better offense, and while they've been frustratingly shaky, Akron has a severe lack of momentum going. Although who knows what that means in the MAC.
My Pick: Bowling Green
Confidence: 1


8:00 PM

Nevada (4-4) @ New Mexico State (4-5)
New Mexico State was expected to be all-offense, no-defense, but has been more of no-defense, kinda-offense. Nevada's D isn't all that great or anything, but they probably have the edge on both sides of the ball.
My Pick: Nevada
Confidence: 2
