North Carolina was the College Edge pick over North Carolina State in the last of our early Saturday plays. I picked the Tar Heels for a couple of major reasons: I had them rated higher than the Wolfpack under my College Edge team ratings, and I believed the Heels would be motivated to play hard following their embarrassing loss to in-state rival, Duke, the previous week.
In picking N.C., I was going against one of my favorite coaches, Tom O'Brien, who just so happens to be one of the best coaches in the FBS as a road underdog.
My fears were justified. NCSU played a very good game on the road, and, there is no way I deserved to get the cover in this ACC matchup. N.C. scored on a punt return with 13 seconds left, and, then, muffed the extra point snap, but, the holder picked up the loose football and threw a 2-point play in desperation!
Was I lucky? Yes. Am I apologetic? Definitely not. I don't cry when I lose these type of games(okay, maybe I cry for a little while), and my happiness is always tempered by the fact luck can change in an instant!
