Light card this week. Lotttttta likes out there but only two I wanted to put against my record. 

Also shout out Rutgers! Dub dub, one game away from a bowl game and Schiano is one win away from 100! IF they can’t beat Ohio State at Ohio State (lol) it’ll come down to hosting Penn State! CHOP!

NC State +14.5 at Miami

A few weeks ago I backed NC State at Notre Dame which went poorly for me. And NC State is 1-4 its last five vs ACC teams. But I think they are live for the second week in a row after they beat Georgia Tech! Four of CJ Bailey’s last five games he’s thrown zero interceptions! The Notre Dame game was bad, but the Freshman QB is growing into a star. Miami usually dominates weaker foes, but those weaker foes usually come with weaker QB’s, and while Miami will have the trenches advantage, I look for Bailey to continue to be him. I look at this Miami team and I’m just doubting them. 2-2 their last four, star nickel corner is out and their lead RB is out. I just am not seeing Miami creating many if any turnovers. I also think the NC State defense is on the weaker end, and Miami has RB depth, but the loss of Mark Fletcher Jr hurts. I think NC State is live this weekend!

Ravens -7.5 at Browns

Cardinal sin being committed! Never back a road divisional dog favorite! But the Ravens are rolling winning the last three by an average of 14 points, playing a familiar but weak foe in the Browns. Sure Lamar popped up on the injury report, but he’s going to play. I don’t even need him being Super Man. He makes this team go. He’s an incredible passer who can run like no other, but make sure you read that first part again, he’s an incredible passer. He makes Derrick Henry go as well, and the Browns have a strong defense but the HOF player moves chains. Lastly, who am I to doubt someone’s abilities, I’m just a random with a blog – BUT … The Browns took a 5foot10 QB who lacks a cannon in Dillon Gabriel. It’s Cleveland!! We are looking at 20+ mph and I just don’t see how Cleveland moves the ball. Last horrible weather game the Browns put up 31 on the Dolphins but that’s a weak Dolphins team on 116 passing yards in Gabriel. The Browns defense also isn’t getting 3 interceptions on Lamar. I’m backing the Ravens.
