Elon @ Stony Brook - Seawolves seem to be in skids
Rhode Island@ New Hampshire - 3 weeks ago, no way I pick this. Now...why not
Delaware @ Towson - Hens haven't lost in Balt. Co. since '05, and are 4-1 there. I see that continuing
Albany @ #8 Richmond - Potential let down game, but no other reason to not pick Spiders
#7 James Madison @ #13 William & Mary - Tribe's biggest home game, JMU on the down trend
Maine @ Villanova - Black Bears have been sneaky good in conference this year

Saturday, October 31
Stony Brook 13, Elon 10 - If this game was at Elon, I would call for the upset. Stony Brook seems like they are really struggling with injuries, and are having trouble getting back on track.
New Hampshire 31, Rhode Island 17 - New Hampshire gets back on track with a win at home against Rhode Island
Delaware 23, Towson 20 - Oddly enough the road team has won the last four meetings in this series. The last four games have also been decided by a touchdown or less. Delaware has had the knack of beating Towson when we think we rolling and playing well including 2011 when we were rolling pretty good and 2013 in a ridiculous comeback. Hopefully Towson is on the right end of whatever weird ever other game mojo the Hens have had since conference play starter.
Richmond 34, Albany 10 - I would imagine Richmond will not be sharp in this game and suffer a little bit of a emotional letdown after last week, but they are too good for this to be close.
William & Mary 24, James Madison 20 - This would have been a tough game with Vad Lee, and it will be even tougher without him. I think William & Mary gets the home win in a close game.
Maine 24, Villanova 17 - As a Towson fan, I would have liked to be excited about beating Villanova, but with the injury to Robertson and some others that did not look like a very good version of the Wildcats playing last week. Seems like Maine is catching this game at the right time.

***I have picked UNH in every single game so far. So I am picking against them and hoping for the best!

Elon is coming off a 3 no 4 w/ NC A&T playing ranked teams. Hope that last week during their bye week they have rehabbed and refocused. I hope they will be able to compete.

Playoff prediction- the CAA places 4 teams in the dance- UR, W&M, JMU and either Maine or Delaware.

There is a very good chance that no 4th team will even get to 7 wins. Towson probably has the best shot as they can lose 1 of their remaining 4 games and get there. ME ad DE would have to win 4 of 4 conference games - unlikely. UNH and NOVA are in the same situation. ME probably has the easier remaining schedule; DE hosts JMU, UNH hosts Richmond, and NOVA has Richmond and JMU. It's been a long time since ME has played well against UNH, even years they have gone into the game favored. This's year's matchup is @ UNH. UNH Beating Richmond, even in Durham, NH, seems a remote possibility at best. JMU will be a tall order for DE, although we can't be sure how good JMU will be without Vad Lee and DE has shown to be be the best team of the three so far. Bottom line: NOVA, ME, DE and UNH will all falter at least once and be out of playoff contention. Towson has a better chance, but no better than 50-50. Without 7 wins, none of these teams has a sufficiently strong season performance to get in with 6.
