Stony Brook @#5 James Madison - Right now, my question is whether the Seawolves will hold the Dukes to less than 50 (avg. 51+ ppg)
Albany @ Holy Cross - HC seems to be trending to the bottom of the PL
Maine @ #24 Richmond - Maine seemed to struggle with URI, and Spiders >> Rams
Elon @ #25 New Hampshire - If this was in NC, I'd go with the Phoenix
Rhode Island @ Brown - I want them to win a game
#13 William & Mary @ Delaware - This one probably decided by ground games, I like Hens odds in that department

Agreed, but Brown will not cover the spread (if any).

Cozzy has owned the Spiders lately. I think SB plays JMU very close and I think W&M wins handily over the Hens.

James Madison 28, Stony Brook 14 - I think Stony Brook can slow down JMU's explosive defense, but not enough to win this game. By the way, you can make the argument if Stony Brook wins this one, they should be favored to win the rest of their remaining contests.

Holy Cross 21, Albany 20 - Not sure why, but I just have a feeling Holy Cross pulls the upset. I have much more faith in Albany at home than on the road.

Richmond 27, Maine 17 - I don't think Maine has the offense to win this game on the road.

New Hampshire 37, Elon 17 - Congrats to Elon on the win over Towson. I worried about this game. However, the fact that Towson had no running backs left and from what I heard it was bad weather played a role. Still, a win is a win and I do think Elon can build off this. Just no in this matchup.

Brown 20, Rhode Island 13 - One of the few games Rhode Island will have a chance to win, but I think Brown wins a tight one.

William & Mary 20, Delaware 17 - I think this game is a trap, packaged between the win over Stony Brook and road matchup against Villanova. I would not be surprised to see Delaware win, but I think William & Mary finds a way to pull out a tight game.

Stony Brook @ #5 James Madison - Stony Brook is good. JMU is great and at home. I'm picking the Dukes.
Albany @ Holy Cross - Crusaders play it close through 3 but blow it in the 4th.
Maine @ #24 Richmond - The Spiders should cruise at home.
Elon @ #25 New Hampshire - UNH should be fine at home despite Elon's win last week.
Rhode Island @ Brown - I just can't pick Rhody.
#13 William & Mary @ Delaware - This one probably decided by ground games, I like Tribes odds in that department (and all other departments as well).

i'm honestly not sure who i would pick in this game. but i will say that i watched a good portion of the UNC/UD game, and from what i saw, UD looked really physical in the run game. i was impressed.

Elon @ UNH (UNH by 10)- Thanks to all that think we can come out on top in this game, but im still a skeptic. Until our Offense can prove that they can limit the mistakes Elon will be the underdog. Our D will keep us in the game, our O just needs to stay on the field long enough to give them a rest.... and a touchdown.

Agreed. I thought Delaware looked good in both their last two games, Villanova and UNC. I just hope they haven't fully gelled by this weekend - by the back half of the year, the Hens are going to be one of the tougher teams in the CAA.

I haven't voted yet though I still think W&M will pull this one out. Delaware will need to throw the ball at some point in the game and they still seem prone to mistakes. The Tribe can run effectively, pass effectively and we have show a stout defense against the run, holding both UVA and SBU to less than 100 yds.

I've picked Elon in all three of your FCS games and it's got me 2-1. Sorry to say I'm not picking Elon this week. UNH just doesn't lose very often at Cowell Stadium (43-5 at home since 2007)

What do you mean you haven't vote yet, biased Tribe fanatic? You're not planning the Invasion of Normandy. Read your analysis and employ common sense!

JMU - as long as they're not patting themselves on the back too much, I think they'll be ok. SBU is very talented but got exposed a little last week. going to be tough to pull off the upset without Bedell. if Vad doesn't turn it over (which he probably will, this is probably going to be an ongoing theme), should have no problem. turnovers and penalties could derail the Dukes.
Albany - some distractions this week, I wouldn't be surprised if this one is extremely close.
UR - I'm not sure UR is all that great this year, but I don't know that Maine is, either. I could see UR picking up steam as the season goes along.
UNH - it's just silly to pick against UNH at home.
Brown - URI is bad, even for them.
W&M - I think this game is going to tell us a ton about both teams. I really don't think UD is a bad team at all. if W&M dominates them in Newark, I'm going to give the Tribe a ton of credit.

Crow eaten. We never got off the bus for this one. Delaware looks to be a young team with a truckload of talent - should be good things ahead in Newark.

[BigHouseClosedEnd]

Their offensive strategy got a bit sideways in the 3rd quarter, but the Hens looked really impressive overall. They are definitely coming on. William and Mary looked like a team that was starting to read their press clippings.

I don't know if Maine is any good but the Spiders appear to be coming along too.

[Mattymc727]

It's against much weaker opponents but the UNH offense seems to be turning a corner as well. After getting stuffed without Goldrich in SBU, UNH has outscored their opponents something like 60-0 in the first half of the last two games. Two weeks ago I thought UNH would get blown out at W&M but with a bye week coming up, it might be a great game.
