I am slightly nervous against WM this week just because I know they are going to be a desperate team fighting for their season's life on Saturday. 0-3 to start the CAA play means they must win out with UR still on the schedule and every remaining CAA team being at least "pesky" and not a guaranteed win.

Then I remembered they managed to lose to Elon.

URI 14 @ Villanova 35 Rams not as bad as some of you think.

Richmond 31 @ Albany 21 As long as UR doesn’t add a +3 to the Dane’s FCS leading TO Margin

Maine 24 @ Delaware 30 Sorry my Mainiac friends, that’s how the coin landed

New Hampshire 34 @ Elon 20 Knight, and the Freshmen D-backs, got this thing almost figured out

W & M 21 @ JMU 34 Perhaps a bit generous to the Tribe, but they still have the remnants of a D

Stony Brook 20 @ Towson 26 A toss-up, so taking the home team

You guys are way too fkn good to lose this game at Bridgeforth. You only lose to bad teams at home in the playoffs.

Rhode Island 13 @ #15 Villanova 42 This won't be close
#9 Richmond 35 @ #14 Albany 21- I'm still not convinced that the Danes are for real... Yet!
Maine 24 @ Delaware 21- Maine is a decent team. If they limit turnovers they will be very tough
New Hampshire 34 @ Elon 20 - 3:30 PM - Baby 'Cats either get an offensive bump from the return of their all-conference TE Powell and top WR Donovan, or they fall flat on their little baby faces
William & Mary 14 @ #6 James Madison 31 - If UNH can hold W&M to 12 lowly points and rack up over 200 rushing yards, I can't imagine what the Dukes will do to them : (
Stony Brook 17 @ Towson 21- Very evenly matched opponents. Should be a great contest.

[Vermont]

Rhode Island 14 @ Villanova 28. Rhody's already got its upset for the year.

Richmond 24 @ Albany 17. UA bubble starting to burst.

Maine 17 @ Delaware 14. Black Hole rises to task.

New Hampshire 31 @ Elon 24 in 1 OT. Elon loses a tough one in extra time.

William & Mary 17 @ James Madison 27. JMU puts final nail in coffin.

Stony Brook 7 @ Towson 10 in 1 OT. Defensive thriller!

[melloware13]

Rhode Island @ #15 Villanova
- Wildcats have started rolling recently, Rams still looking for first road win since September 2013.
#9 Richmond @ #14 Albany
- Spiders have been living on the edge lately, Danes take advantage of crowd.
Maine @ Delaware
- Bears have won last 3 in series, but if Hens fall I think Brock will need to put some aloe on his behind.
New Hampshire @ Elon
- Phoenix fare slightly better this week, but again face too much in the Wildcats
William & Mary @ #6 James Madison
- Tribe looking like next week will be a possible stinker, Dukes fairly easily.
Stony Brook @ Towson
- Still can't get a read on Seawolves, but at least Tigers didn't lose to a NEC team.

You may have picked up on this change on another thread, but UNH @ Elon has been moved to Friday evening at 7 pm. Elon website still indicates there will be video stream. You should be able to access it from the Elon Athletics website.

[DoubleH]

Rhode Island @ #15 Villanova - Annnnd we're back to poor Rhody.

#9 Richmond @ #14 Albany - I've seen quite a bit of Richmond this year. They looked like world-beaters in slaughtering UVA, then looked downright awful in getting thumped by SBU. Last week they looked... decent against Towson. What a bipolar team. I think the Albany dream continues, as I'm now firmly convinced the Spiders are a merely a good, not great team, and the Danes have done nothing to suggest they are not at least in the same class as Richmond. UA pulls the upset in a close one.

Maine @ Delaware - 3:30 PM - The Black Bears stroll into town and put the nail in the Brock coffin - or so the UD fans hope.

New Hampshire @ Elon - 3:30 PM - UNH rolls to go to 4-2 before a pretty brutal CAA stretch run.

William & Mary @ #6 James Madison - JMU might have the best offense in 1-AA. A bad year for the Tribe gets a whole lot worse.

Stony Brook @ Towson - If there's any offense the Tiger D is capable of stopping, it's this one. TU scores just enough to eke out a home win.

[Go Lehigh TU owl]

UNH 37 Elon 14 - The Wildcats seem to be on a mission to return to the playoffs. Elon, not so much....

Villanova 31 URI 13 - 'Nova might be the most underappreciated team in the country right now...

Richmond 27 Albany 17 - I think the Danes are pretty darn good but the Spiders might be an elite team...

Delaware 24 Maine 21 - The Blue Hens could be in the playoff mix if they can put a couple of wins together. The Black Bears are better than their record indicates...

JMU 41 W&M 20 - The Dukes are legit while the Tribe on the slide....

Towson 20 SBU 17 - I'll pick the home team in a coin-flip game....

Villanova- southern wildcats roll
Richmond-(still nervous about this pick)
Maine- played a much better game vs JMU than the hens
UNH- not a close game but probably not a blow out either
JMU-Class of the CAA this year
Towson- Both teams are itching for a win, Towson wins a close one at home.
