I didn’t know why Mark was badgering me late last week for a prediction for the UVa-Richmond game, and I figured that if he was making some complicated wager on DraftKings, he’d find a better source of information elsewhere.

Well, it turns out he was doing a prediction blog post, and he completely blew his UVa call, saying Virginia would only beat the Spiders 24–17, when actually they doubled them up 34–17. (Not much is certain in UVa football, except that we will beat William & Mary or Richmond at the outset of the season and lose to Virginia Tech at the end.)

The game of the weekend — or maybe the year or decade — involving an ACC team was the completely bonkers UNC–Appalachian State game.
