Somebody is a firm believer in the home field advantage!!! I like Liberty, but the rest are good.

Sacred Heart 17 @ 28 Fordham:: SH makes Fordham look good.

Indiana State 32 @ 24 Eastern Kentucky:: ISU takes the lead late in the 4th after trailing for most of the game.

SE Louisiana 27 @ 21 Sam Houston State:: Tough game to pick here. If it were at SELA, I would pick them easily, but being at SAM makes for a tough pick.

Liberty 24 @ 38 James Madison:: JMU pulls away in the 4th.

SFA 17 @ 48 Northern Iowa:: UNI takes care of business after a close first half.

Morgan State 12 @ 32 Richmond:: UR should have a good lead by half time.

San Diego 10 @ 48 Montana:: Griz play 2's and 3's in the 4th and that allows SD to score 10 points.

South Dakota State 42 @ 38 Montana State:: This was a tough one to pick. It may depend on if Prukop is healthy enough to play. Plus the Cat's defense has not done well this year. They even made the griz offense look decent.

Sacred Heart @ Fordham- SHU has tough D. Makes it semi close like last year but Fordham O too much.
Indiana State @ Eastern Kentucky- ISUB is battle tested. Not too fond on EKU. ISUB by 3.
SE Louisiana @ Sam Houston State- SHSU can move the ball and does enough to squeak one out.
Liberty @ James Madison- JMU is one of the hottest teams right now. Liberty is good, but not that good.
SFA @ Northern Iowa- UNI physicality is too much.
Morgan State @ Richmond- Does Morgan State really belong here?
San Diego @ Montana- No comment.
South Dakota State @ Montana State- SDSU's balanced attack will be able to move the ball on a soft D.

First round playoffs I've got:

Sacred Heart Crusaders (in a mild upset)
Indiana State Trees (proving they belong)
SELA Lions (win a toss-up game)
JMU Dukes (possibly in a rout)
UNI Panthers (could get ugly)
Montana Griz ( should get ugly)
SDSU Jacks (might best game of the opening round)
Richmond Spiders (MAY be closer than some think)

Looking forward to some terrific playoff games. Hopefully no injuries and plenty of hard fought action...COOL!
