4 DUKE 6-1 vs 6 MIAMI 5-1
Duke and Miami have had close games every matchup the past few years. Miami has won more of those matchups but Duke has been able to give them fits. The pressure is on for both of these teams because the ACC Coastal division is extremely tight. #1 Pitt is still undefeated so the winner of this game will be chasing the Panthers and needing to win that showdown when the time comes. The loser will already be behind 2 games. On the field we all know Miami is stacked even with their beast RB Ross still out for 5 more weeks minimum, but they are facing the #2 rush offense and the #2 defense in the country. Do not look at logos this week, Duke is making a championship run. Miami can not afford to turnover the ball this week or Duke will suffocate them by eating the clock with ball control. The key players in this one are Graves at QB for Miami and Reese at RB for Duke. Both have to put the team on their back and carry the load for all 4 qtrs if their teams want to stay in this championship hunt after this Saturday. Duke is at home but I think Miami has a little too much for them for 4 qtrs.

BIG GAMES
🟢 8 MARYLAND vs 24 PENN ST
- Maryland has proved to be a legit team this year we just dont know how good yet. Penn St will provide a solid measuring stick for the Terps.
🟢 23 SAN DIEGO ST vs 19 UCLA
- SD ST is one team that I expect to benefit heavily from the settings switch because they are such a run heavy team. UCLA is the best in the Pac though.
🟢 TEXAS A&M vs 2 LSU
- I dont think this LSU team will lose outside of U5 games but this is a game I expect to be closer than the experts thing. A&M should make it interesting.
🟢 SYRACUSE vs 1 PITTSBURGH
- Pitt is the biggest beneficiary of all the upsets that took place last week but they have yet to play a team that can beat them. Upset alert for this one...

4th down rule clarity
Inside 35 is fair game UNLESS youre up by MORE than 7.. if youre up 8+ its a fg or punt
ex: up 21-14 inside 35 you can go for it
4th Qtr its fair game anywhere if its tied or youre down, inside 35 rule is 8+ in the 4th
Before 4th just be realistic if youre down 14+
