Nice to see that at least some NEC teams are favored this weekend. Not sure if that’s a sign of respect for the NEC or whether it’s more of a sign that the Patriot League is not very good this season.
RMU at +47.5 is a line I’d expect if they were playing a Group of 5 team – not necessarily a MAC team. Buffalo has been very good under Lance Leipold
New head coaches at Bryant and CCSU as their coaches left for Brown (Perry - HC) and Rutgers (Rossomando - OL) respectively.
SFU has switched their highly successful DC to OC this season. Can’t say I’ve ever seen this happen at the college level.
NEC newcomer Merrimack gets a warm-up against D-II VA Lynchburg this week while LIU is off until next week when they play at South Dakota State University.

I saw that SFU best receiver (Holder) is no longer on the team. Any idea what happened? Is he transferring?

Not sure what happened to Cyrus. I know he had one year of eligibility, so perhaps he went the graduate transfer route similar to what their best CB did - transferring to Albany.

I can't blame anyone for doing the grad transfer thing. I am a bit pessimistic about this year as I don't think we have enough weapons on offense.
