mediocre day yesterday but have clear preferences in some of today's acc games so i'll open with those.
duke +13 and md +12 - lumping these two games together because both dogs traditionally play the respective favorite tightly. a little leary of the blue devils as it appears they're a public dog, but there are very few fcs teams the tarheels should be giving two tds. terps have just had the pack's number for decades, and i'd expect o'brien to play this game conservatively with a bowl and a .500 acc record hanging in the balance.
va +5: cavs can't get much respect this year but have quietly put together one of their best seasons in memory. bottom line here is winner of this game meets clemson in the acc title game, so expecting a top effort for the cavs.
2011 ncaaf record: 16-13
