Pick title: 2* North Carolina +5
Pick Date: 11/05/2005
Pick description:
A gigantic game here for North Carolina as the Heels are 3-4 SU and begin a three-game home stand with Boston College, Maryland, and Duke. They end the season at Virginia Tech so a 3-0 Tobacco Road sweep is mandatory for a post-season invite. Last week they led at Miami 16-7 at halftime before running out of gas. But holding the Hurricanes to 321 total yards in the Orange Bowl isn’t too shabby. Easy to forget but the UNC defense held Marques Hagans, Wali Lundy (seems like an eight-year starter), and the Virginia offense to five points and 199 total yards in their last home effort. I’ve been very impressed with the hard running style of Ronnie McGill in the last two games. He had 118 yards against Virginia and had 66 yards on 13 carries versus Miami. QB Matt Baker has had two bad games in a row but should be able to find success against BC. The Eagles are a different team on the road compared to at Chestnut Hill. Boston College is accumulating 131 yards less per game on the road and allowing an additional 92. That’s a 223-yard swing on the road compared to home. The bottom line is Boston College has failed miserably in their two marquis games this year against Florida State and Virginia Tech. Last week their defense may have been exposed allowing 492 total yards in Blacksburg. A bad sign was them barely beating Wake Forest the previous week as a two-touchdown favorite. Wake is the type of team BC clobbered in the past. With no chance now of winning the ACC, I question the motivation for the Eagles, who are already bowl eligible. They’ve scored just 46 points in three road games to date and have committed at least two turnovers in five consecutive games. North Carolina has taken on a top-five schedule in the country already playing Georgia Tech, Wisconsin, NC State, Utah, Louisville, Virginia, and Miami. No softies (quite refreshing) for Coach Bunting. McGill, who was hurt earlier this year, should be the difference-maker on Saturday. Also note the revenge factor for North Carolina as Boston College beat them 37-24 in the Continental Tire Bowl (corporate sponsorship a fiasco). Has it really been 10 years since our last Poulan Weed Eater bowl? Vegas doesn’t expect a repeat of last December’s decision with the total in the low 40’s. BC QB Quinton Porter didn’t look 100 percent after the Virginia Tech game last week and the Eagle’s leading ground producer had 29 yards on eight carries. While I respect Coach O’Brien’s 23-3 SU record (19-6 ATS) off a loss, I still question how good this Boston College team is. I took the Tar Heels +5

Scott Spreitzer Main Event GOY
Penn State
Laying the points with Penn State as Main Event Game of the Year. Barry Alvarez has outdone himself in 2005, his final season as HC. Wisconsin has nothing on the defensive side of the football, yet they're in the mix for the Big-10 title. In fact, I really look for this team to crash to earth next season when Alvarez is no longer roaming the sidelines. But as far as this game, even he cannot make up for Wiscy's matchup disadvantages. Penn State has everything Wiscy struggles to stop. A strong running game averaging 5.3 YPC, and a mobile and effective QB. The Badgers have allowed just under 6 yards per carry in Big-10 play and almost 250 RYPG. And, they were actually out-gained by Illinois, allowing 538 yards! On offense, Wiscy does have Calhoun in the backfield, but the Badgers have rushed for 3.6 yards or less per carry in 5 of their last 7 games, including 2.7 against Indiana and 1.8 per carry against Purdue. They face a Penn State defense that holds opponents to 2.7 yards per carry and 5.4 PYPA! PSU is the real deal, while Wiscy has been doing it with mirrors. Wiscy's a pretender that gets exposed in Happy Valley. Penn State-Spreitzer's Main Event Game of the Year!
