He's certainly giving us more credit than we deserve.

And he's picking Lehigh over Delaware, Wow

Wow there's a shock... umassfan picking Lehigh over Delaware... :eek:

He might be called many things--but he is consistent. :) :D

Hey I call them like I see them... If I think UD will lose I pick them to lose... if I think they will win then I pick them to win... simple as that.

Actually Matt Dougherty has just never thought much of JMU. I'm actually surprised he picked us at all. I believe he only picked JMU to win 4 out of 14 times last year. We could be playing Marist and he would most likely pick Marist in a close game.

Baldy, his prediction for the GSU-McNeese looks really similar to mine. Just curious as to your prediction Baldy.

Matt's LU/UD pick is close to mine--27-21, which I came up with Tuesday. However, LU's sports site lists the injury list and several defensive players are 'questionable', including cb Andrew Nelson who missed last week, and which lead to alot of Monmouth's passing yardage. I'm not sure what 'questionable' means--I've interpreted it as 50/50 chance of playing, as opposed to 'probable' which is more than 75% chance. Is this correct. If Nelson can't go, or even if he can go, but is not near 100%, then LU could have another tough night, unless Gilliard learned something last week. Possilble the Monmouth's wr's are just as good if not better than UD's due to inexperience, so maybe there will be balance out. Regardless, I'm still picking my Brown & White. Da' Boys need to stay within themselves, though, and not get 'too high' which can cause overplay. Looking forward to a great atmosphere Sat. Night!

Do you REALLY believe that... :D

Ah the lack of respect continues...excellent!

Most dead on comment of the week. :nod:

Usually after the fact though. :p

94, he will never give us any credit. A LC victory by a field goal or less will be a "so what?" to him. We need to blow them out to open some eyes. Is there a final injury report for LC? Fisher? Stovall?

Dougherty has Lehigh ranked 12th and UD 16th, and picks LU to win. I like it when UD is the underdog. I hope that UD can spring the upset.

This underdog position must be new ground for you guys.

I'm just hoping for a close game. I took Lehigh +14, which frankly I don't think Blue Hen fans can say was a bad move, though certainly I could lose.

The PL is a tough defensive league, but personally I think UD will win in a close one... they have pretty good talent on both sides of the ball, as usual, and Lehigh may not have the firepower to pull it out.

UD 20
LU 13

Interestingly, I have the opposite point of view. If anything, I think Lehigh does have the offensive firepower; there are however more questions on defense and its ability to stop UD. It will be interesting to see how it materializes.

Wow there's a shock... umassfan picking Lehigh over Delaware... :eek:

It just doesn't seem to matter how many players they lose, UD is always strong. UD-23, Lehigh-20

That's a ton of points, I'd probably take LU too. However, I was terrible on the point spreads last week so listening to me would not be wise.

I'd take those points to. What was the over under?
