Interesting tilts in NFL and NCAA
Thursday night is highlighted by two big clashes in the football world, on the NFL side, New England will limp into Tampa fresh from a surprising home loss to Carolina while on the NCAA front, we have a ranked clash in Raleigh when Louisville drops in on NC State.
OK, to kick off the weekend, let's pick 'em!
NFL
New England @ Tampa Bay
The Pats have not been the all conquering team that everyone expected to start the season, especially on the defensive side of the ball. They will face another test against the improved Buccaneers who will welcome Doug Martin back into action.
If the Bucs can control the clock and not make any mistakes in the passing game, the Pats could very well go home with a sub .500 record.
It will not be as high scoring as Pats games have been so far but could well be loss number three for them...
Bucs 27-23
NCAA
Louisville (17) @ North Carolina State (24)
Louisville travels to Raleigh for a tricky match up with NC State. The Wolfpack have won four straight after a season opening loss to South Carolina, the actual state has also been Louisville's downfall as the Cards only loss was to Clemson.
Louisville is looking to keep sight of an ACC title game chance and cannot afford another loss. NC State is looking to prove they belong...
Might be a Thursday night surprise!
NC St 30-28
Back with the rest of the weekend's picks in a couple of days...enjoy the action!
