Week 4 Point Spreads

Week 3 Accuracy: 9 out of 12 (75%) That's more like it.
Season Accuracy: 21 out of 36 (58%)
 
Upset of the Week
North Carolina (+9) 23, Tillman 14
Beware the Computer Coach these days. Ranger QB David Garrard was picked off 3 times including twice in the final 3 minutes to doom Tillman at the hands of the CPU coached Triad Tremblers. Tillman had 341 yards of offense vs 254 for North Carolina but could not stop Matt Ryan (only 11 of 25 for 130 yds, 1 interception but 2 touchdowns) and Kevin Smith (14 carries for 75 yds, 5.4 avg).
 
A 1st qtr INT set up a 27 yd FG for NCT but Tillman quickly answered with a 67 yd TD to Lance Moore, catch NCT in a run defense. Seven minutes later a flea flicker to Bobby Wade for 39 yds put NCT back on top 10-7. A botched fake FG attempt near the end of the first half by Tillman set up another Triad FG. Halftime: NCT 13, TIL 7.
 
Tillman comes back midway 3rd quarter with another TD pass to Moore, this time for 5 yards. But NCT answers on a 11 play, 60 yd drive featuring 9 straight running plays, capped off with Wade matching Moore and catching another TD pass. 3rd quarter ends with NCT ahead 20-14. The Ranger 4th quarter is disastrous: a missed 41 yard FG, a failed 4th and 4 on NCT's 36 yd line, an INT on NCT's 36 and an INT run back to the Tillman 11 with 2 minutes left.
