Maine @ Villanova - Maine's defense is able to shut down Nova and get their first CAA win of the year.
William & Mary @ Elon - I've picked against Elon all year, so going with them this week
Albany @ #Richmond - The ticks needed the bye week and will come out strong against Albany.
Delaware @ #Stony Brook - UD just doesn't have enough offense to win close games. SB wins late in the 4th

Back in August you likely would have been ridiculed for these picks.

Last week there were only 6 games, but someone received a score of 10. Can you please explain.

Last week there were only 6 games, but someone received a score of 10. Can you please explain.

Conference games result in 2 points being awarded if you get it right, 0 if you get it wrong. One point for each conference member. Out of conference games result in only one point at stake, one for the conference member. So this week 8 points are at stake - there are only 4 conference games scheduled so everyone who picks the games will get either 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8 points.

[Gangtackle11]

Maine @ Villanova: I'm liking the Maine sentiment. The Cats may be wounded, but they aren't toothless. Maine will earn it, but I think Nova shuts down the running game and wins the battle of 1 dimensional offenses. Nova 13-7

W&M @ Elon: The Phoenix have been impressive & are home, but something tells me this young squad will stub their collective toe against the old vet Laycock. W&M 24-20

Albany @ Richmond: Albany finds the CAA road to be difficult. The CAA's most talented QB carves them up. Richmond 38-28.

Delaware @ Stony Brook: The Blue Hens lost their best player LB Charles Bell to a season ending injury. They still have major issues on offense. The Sea Wolves will roll 27-10.

Last Week: 4-2 Season: 31-8

I've not been participating, so don't bother tallying my score, but I want to get in here because it wasn't long ago that these games would be no-brainers and now we can't agree on any of them. Changing of the guard?

W&M @ Elon: The Phoenix have been impressive & are home, but something tells me this young squad will stub their collective toe against the old vet Laycock. W&M 24-20
Cignetti is an old veteran, just not with Elon. I think his experience is part of Elon's early success. Really hoping we don't stub our toes, but this would be the likely time to do it. Coming off of early success, maybe a little too high & playing a very good team who would likely be ranked but for a tough early schedule. Plus we'll be going into a bye week. My bet is that Cignetti will have them prepared, but I guess we won't really know until around 5:00 next Saturday.

I hope you are right although I have W&M here. Coach Trisch & Coach Lucas are Villanova family. Root for them when they dont play Nova.

Going for home team sweep, these games are too close to try to come up with clever things to say about each. Any of us could go 4-0, 0-4 or anything in between.

#25 Maine @ #14 Villanova
William & Mary @ #15 Elon (I will continue to pick W&M out of stubbornness and pride)
#23 Albany @ #19 Richmond
Delaware @ #18 Stony Brook

[CAAGuy]

Nova- Maine is a decent team but not quite to Nova's level. Wildcats by 13
Tribe- Elon continues to impress and it wouldn't be crazy to choose them but I'm giving W&M the edge. Tribe by 3
Richmond- Richmond's offense is at a level Albany hasn't faced this year. Spiders are hungry to get back on track after the Elon loss. UR by 17
Stony Brook- Delaware has impressed but at the end of the day, they're still a CAA bottom feeder this season. Good game, Seawolves by 7

Maine 17 @ Villanova 14. Maine is a good football team and proves it this weekend

W&M 7 @ Elon 10. Changing of the guard.

Albany 24 @ Richmond 34. This old guard stays on top vs an emerging power

Delaware 7 @ Stony Brook 17. Another new guard is victorious.

Maine (with VU QB out , i think Maine wins this one, otherwise VU wins)
Elon (they got some magic going on for a bit longer)
Richmond (hate to pick spatters, but they will pull it together)
Delaware (really think its a pickem, but gotta pick one so its cause Delaware's defense if for real and think they have enough to shut down SB offense)

Going with all the Old Guard teams Mr. Chicken ? I think I got you beat this week and I always strive to beat the poultry. My first stop in Atlantic City was always to take on the Chicken in Tic, Tac, Toe at the Tropicana.

I believe it was a gaming-hen; not a game-cock. Tied every time! I'm very proud of the accomplishment.

Maine vs Villanova- I won't even bother trying to explain, for now Maine
William and Mary vs Elon- the old married couple hasn't been impressive all year Elon
Ualbany vs Richmond- 8 legged freaks finds a way to pull one out at home Richmond
Delaware vs Stony Brook- They both have good defenses, one has a better offense though Stony Brook

[DTSpider]

Feel like Vegas really knows something I don't. nova without their QB as a 7 point favorite and Elon as only a 1point favorite. Maybe W&M is better than I thought and Maine isn't. I'm sure it won't take long to prove my ignorance, just seems weird.

Name recognition for the gamblers

[UNHWildcat18]

Nova with 6 starters out and maine is still getting beat. Why did I ever pick our rival to actually win a decent game? Hopefully they can pull off the miracle in the second half

Because you probably think UNH is good and therefore so would Maine be. Turns out they both stink.
