#15 Villanova @ #20 Stony Brook
Colgate @ William & Mary

Wow what a week for matchups. All but one are only 7 point favorites (JMU 18 pt favorites vs UR). Three are only 3 point or less favorites. Virtually every game is a toss up.

The only ones I can't really get a read on are the two Ivy League games. I can't see us taking both of them, so URI with the bye week and bad taste in their mouth may just get by Harvard. I think Yale wants to make up for their HC loss.

James Madison - Looking forward to watching this one in person this year. Even if my visitor tickets are closer to downtown Richmond than the field. (all that open space on the other side of campus and they had to put the track around the field...)

[Gangtackle11]

Rhode Island 21 Harvard 14 - The Rams are for real. Lawson runs & throws to victory over smart guys.
Maine 24 Yale 14 - Black Bears are also for real.
Elon 28 UNH 21 - Northern Cats playoff streak is declared over in NC.
JMU 35 Richmond 17 - Spiders hang for a half.
Towson 31 Citadel 17 - Wacko for Flacco banners hung in surrounding Baltimore.
Colgate 20 W&M 14 - Not sure old Jimmy L. gets another W before retirement.
Villanova 21 Stony Brook 20 - this one will be a real slobber knocker.

Last week: 7-0 Season: 26-3

UNHWildcat18, Is Knight back at QB for you guys? My guess is no and thus your pick of Elon. We lost our starting QB with a separated shoulder last week. Hoping our Defense can carry us and that the backup just plays well enough to score a TD or two.

I am not sure if he is going to be back or not, I still think we lose regardless. :(

I wouldnt be too suprised if there were alot of suprises this week

Rhode Island, as great as JuJuan Lawson to Aaron Parker has been, the D is very questionable.... I can see Harvard making some noise

Elon and UNH - Coin flip

is Towson ready for the Citadel and the Triple Option - Flacco should put up alot of points however

Colgate have enough to beat William and Mary? might be Laycocks last chance

and Nova at Stony is a tough game to pick....two out of three coin flipper

Solid weekend. JMU covered -30 (still amazed this happened) and tied for 3rd overall in the pick 'em after 5. On to week 6.

[Little Stevie]

No disrespect to anyone who picked Harvard.
Had any of you watched Rhode Island play prior?
Or Harvard?

most of us picked Maine over Yale too

any news on JuJuan Lawson?

[Little Stevie]

nothing on Lawson,most likely meaning nothing long term?
They could possibly get by Brown and Maine (if frosh QB playing),without him.

Brown ok, but you better hope Lawson is back for Maine

[UAalum72]

Just the post-game in the ProJo: “I think (Lawson’s right knee) got twisted up on that touchdown run,” Fleming said. “He thought if he had to get back in he could probably do it, but it wasn’t feeling stable enough for him.”

After tests, they may not announce anything for another day or two

[Little Stevie]

I watched Maine against Yale and did not see a whole lot.
What makes them unbeatable? With a freshman QB?

your second stringer Vito? didnt inspire much confidence..... If it's the battle of backups, I go with Rhode though
