Every Friday, a group of fearless webmasters and sports fanatics from around the Triangle will gather to predict five college football games against the spread. Every Duke, Carolina, and N.C. State game will be featured, along with a smattering of high profile non-Triangle games. As the season goes along, we’ll keep the standings updated and see who emerges as the one true prophet. Make your predictions in the comment section. Each week, we’ll feature any and all commenters who pick all 5 games correctly.
Current Standings
1. John Watson, The Devil’s Den – 31.5 points
2. The Devil Wolf, TRB – 26.5 points
2. Nate Friedman, UNC football correspondent – 26.5 points
2. Me – 26.5 points
2. Tar Heel Fan Blog – 26.5 points
6. James Henderson, Publisher, Pack Pride – 25.5 points
7. Jim Young, Editor, ACCSports.com – 23.5 points
8. William Earnhardt, Site Designer – 21.5 points
There were two pushes last week, so not much movement in the standings. Devil Wolf managed to get all 3 of the possible games right, and John Watson extended his lead with 2 while most of us got 0 (Nate) or 1 (everyone else except THFB, who also had 2). The John Watson chase pack is tightening up, with 4 of us now tied for second. But with only 3 weeks left, he’s frighteningly close to clinching. Standings:

Georgia Tech (-11) at DUKE

2 out of 5. Ouch. Every single favorite lost against the spread, and only GT managed to win as a favorite.
