Clemson vs Miami College Football Predictions, College Football Picks & College Football Odds: Two of the top teams in the ACC will get together this weekend in Miami as the Clemson Tigers and the Miami Hurricanes square off at Land Shark Stadium. The eighth ranked Canes, at 5-1, would seemingly have more on the line in this game, but the Tigers, despite their 3-3 record, are in second place in the Atlantic division. Kickoff in this much anticipated conference meeting is set for 3:30pm ET on ABC. College Football Predictions at Bookmaker.com have the Hurricanes listed as a -4.5 against the spread favorite.

The Tigers enter Saturday's meeting with Miami sporting the nation's 12th ranked defense. Clemson's defensive prowess was on full display in their last game as they rebounded from an unexpected loss at Maryland by drubbing Wake Forest 38-3. The Demon Deacons amassed a paltry 178 yards for the game, despite holding the ball 35:57. The Wake offense had fewer than 100 yards passing and averaged just 1.8 yards per carry.

Offensively, Clemson relied on all-world running back C.J. Spiller, who carried the ball just nine times, but still produced 106 yards and two touchdowns. Head Coach Dabo Swinney will probably depend on the same formula against the Canes this weekend as he knows his defense will have to play a pivotal role in a Tiger win. Specifically, Swinney expressed concern about shutting down quarterback Jacory Harris and the Hurricanes 39th ranked passing game.

"We just have to get to (Harris) and hit him," Swinney said. "We can't let him get comfortable because if we do it will be a long day in South Beach."

Miami, amazingly, is in fourth place in the ACC Coastal division, despite its 5-1 overall record and 2-1 mark in conference play. Randy Shannon's squad, however, will have plenty of opportunities to reach the top of the league standings as five of their last six games are against ACC foes.

The Canes mopped up against non-conference, but in-state rival UCF last Saturday beating the Kinghts 27-7 in Orlando. Miami's offense posted 26 first downs and 363 yards in the easy win as Harris completed 20 of his 26 passes for 293 yards and a touchdown. Central Florida managed just 229 yards against the Hurricanes defense.

Harris and company appear to be ready for a return to conference action having reeled off three straight non-conference wins since their embarassing 7-31 loss at Virginia Tech. According to Harris, Clemson's 3-3 record has deterred Miami's focus.

"It feels like a rivalry game," Harris said. "Clemson has always been one of the top dogs in the ACC. No matter what game you're playing, they'll give you a tough game. We have to go out there and have a wonderful game against these guys."

College Football Predictions Betting Trend: Miami is just 2-8 against the spread in their last 10 games as a home favorite.

Georgia Tech vs Virginia College Football Picks, College Football Odds & College Football Predictions: The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and the Virginia Cavaliers will battle it out tonight for the lead in the ACC Coastal division this Saturday at Scott Stadium in Charlottesville, Virginia. The Cavs are presently in first place with a 3-3 overall record and a 2-0 conference mark. The No. 12 Yellow Jackets are 6-1 overall and 4-1 in league play. Kickoff is set for 12:00pm ET; the game be seen live on ESPN360.com. College Football Picks at SBGglobal.com have Tech listed as a -5.5 against the spread road favorite.

The Ramblin' Wreck returned last weekend, running over Florida State to the tune of 532 total yards. Tech's triple option attack racked up 401 rush yards at a 7 yards per carry clip as quarterback Josh Nesbitt ran the ball 27 times for 140 yards and three touchdowns. Nesbitt also completed 4-of-8 passes for 131 yards and a score. Running back Jonathan Dwyer also chipped in with a 14 carry, 102 yard, two touchdown performance. Despite three turnovers, the Yellow Jackets had 25 first downs and held the ball for 32:03.

Georgia Tech's defense, however, had little to brag about, giving up 539 yards to the Seminoles. Florida State had no trouble moving the ball against Paul Johnson's defense as the Seminoles 44 points, 26 first downs, and 10 third down conversions would suggest. 

The surprsing Cavaliers have stormed to the top of the division ranks with road wins at North Carolina and Maryland. Al Groh's squad enters Saturday's game riding a three game win streak with a victory over Indiana wedged between the two wins over the aforementioned conference foes.

Last weekend Virginia scored a 20-9 victory over the Terps in College Park, thanks largely to their defense. The Cavs defensive unit, which is yielding just 18.7 points and 293.8 yards per game this season, held Maryland to 284 yards and forced four turnovers. Nate Collins returned one pick 32 yards for a touchdown.

The Cavaliers offense certainly needed the extra possessions, despite doing little with them. Virginia managed a meager 201 yards and nine first downs against Maryland, which is giving up an average of 33.7 points per game this season. Quarterback Jameel Sewell, who left the game with an ankle injury, completed 13-of-23 passes for 137 yards and he rushed 13 times for -33 yards.

College Football Picks Betting Trend: The Yellow Jackets are 1-5 against the spread and 0-6 straight up in their last six visits to Charlottesville. The Cavaliers are 8-2 against the spread and 7-3 straight up in their last 10 games as a home dog with a spread between 4 and 7.5.

Florida State vs North Carolina College Football Picks, College Football Predictions & College Football Odds: Tomorrow night two ACC bottom feeders will meet at Kenan Memorial Stadium in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The Florida State Seminoles currently occupy last place in the ACC Atlantic division with a 0-3 league record while the Tar Heels of North Carolina are in the cellar of the Coastal division with a 0-2 conference mark. One of the two squads will get off the snide tomorrow evening when things kick off at 8:00pm ET on ESPN. College Football Picks at SBGglobal.com are predicting that team to be the Tar Heels, which are presently listed as a -2.5 against the spread home favorite.

Florida State fell to 2-4 overall and 0-3 in conference action last Saturday, losing a shootout to Georgia Tech 44-49 in Tallahasse. The Seminoles offense had its way against the Yellow Jackets defense, racking up 539 yards and 26 first downs. Quarterback Christian Ponder had a terrific game as he completed 26-of-36 passes for 359 yards and five touchdowns. His effort, though, was for naught as FSU's defense gave up 532 yards to Tech's offense. Paul Johnson's troops also converted 8-of-10 third downs and 2-of-2 fourth downs, which allowed them to hold the ball almost five minutes longer than Florida State.

While Tech's effort was impressive, it was not totally out of the ordinary for the Seminoles defense to get run over. Bobby Bowden's group is giving up an average of 28.2 points and 428.2 yards per game this season.

Despite the poor defensive effort, Bowden indicated his team has moved on and is ready to face the Tar Heels.

"Every game is a new game," Bowden said. "You forget the last one, get your mistakes corrected and get on to the next game."

North Carolina improved to 4-2 on October 10th and snapped a two game losing streak, beating FCS school Georgia Southern 42-12 in Chapel Hill. Prior to pasting the Eagles the Tar Heels dropped conference games against Georgia Tech (7-24) and Virginia (3-16). Butch Davis' squad still has a chance to climb back in the race, but a win over FSU tomorrow is a must. UNC will have to reverse recent history in order to get by the 'Noles as the Heels have dropped three of their last four games against FSU at Kenan Memorial.

The Tar Heels first priority will be stopping Ponder and the passing game, something which they are well equipped to do. Davis' defense, which is ranked third in the nation, is holding opponents to an average of 14.2 points and 237.7 yards per game this year.

Even though the Seminoles are 2-4, the Tar Heels defense is not taking them lightly.

"Florida State is a great team," linebacker Quan Sturdivant said. "We've got to be prepared when we go out there and play those guys."

College Football Picks Betting Trend: The Tar Heels are 0-6 against the spread since 1998 playing as a home favorite against an ACC foe with a total between 47.5 and 51.
