UNC 24, UVa. 10
Even good Virginia teams have trouble in Chapel Hill. (Just as good UNC teams can’t win in Charlottesville. See: 2008.)
I’d give Carolina three touchdowns if not for the Heels’ woeful performance at the line of scrimmage in their 24-7 loss last week at Georgia Tech.
UVa. coach Al Groh is supposed to be good with a bye week. Tell that to William & Mary.

Virginia Tech 28, Duke 3
But the game will be closer than the score will indicate. For a half.

Washington 10, Tampa Bay 3
Do not watch this game.

Minnesota 31, Green Bay 20
The return match will be much, much better.
