Week 10 2024 CAA Pick'em

[bonarae]

Where does the CAA gauntlet run through now? Kingston, Richmond, or somewhere else?

Games:

W&M at NC A&T
Villanova at Hampton
UNH at UAlbany
Monmouth at Rhode Island
Stony Brook at Bryant
Towson at Richmond
Campbell at Elon
Maine at Oklahoma

My picks:
W&M
Villanova
UNH
Rhody
Stony Brook
Richmond
Elon
Sooners (pretty odd that Maine filled the late open date with a money game) - Maine and Oklahoma both have inconsistent seasons now ironically.

Midway in the season and still a log jam.

Into Week 10

#20 Stony Brook (3-1, 6-2) @ Bryant (0-4, 2-6)
Series: SBU 5-0
First meeting as CAA members. Last game 35-10 Seawolves in 2019. SBU rolls along here.

UNH (2-2, 4-4) @ UAlbany (1-3, 3-5)
Series: UNH 7-5
Good match-up. I think the Danes win with home field advantage.

#24 W&M (2-2, 5-3) @ NC A&T (0-4, 1-7)
First Meeting
Tribe should rebound in Greensboro but unlike the top teams in CAA, W&M is not showing much improvement week to week. Aggies are capable to win (they lost 17-20 at Richmond) but fall short.

#13 Villanova (3-1, 6-2) @ Hampton (2-2, 5-3)
Series: Villanova 2-0
If there’s a major upset this week, this could be it. Pirates have found an offense, scoring 40+ points last three games. I’ll pick the upset.

Monmouth (2-2, 4-4) @ #14 URI (4-0, 7-1)
Series: URI 2-1
Rams won last meeting 48-46 in 7 overtimes. This one should be just as competitive. Going with the home team, Rams to win.

Towson (2-2, 4-4) @ #16 Richmond (4-0, 6-2)
Series: UR 8-4
Spiders have won last 3 vs Towson and make it 4 in a row. Tigers have too little consistency.

Campbell (1-3, 3-5) @ Elon (1-3, 2-6)
Series: Elon 2-0
I think Camels have slight talent edge but Elon, still looking for their first home win, finally responds and wins a tight one.

Maine (2-3, 4-4) @ Oklahoma 4-4
First Meeting
Sooners will be angry and hungry for a big win.

Winners in bold

W&M at NC A&T Tribe seem to be lost this year but has enough to beat the Aggies
Villanova at Hampton This should be fun. Nova has solid defense and train wreck offense. Hampton is reverse. Cats in a thriller.
UNH at UAlbany 2 evenly matched teams should produce another thriller with the Danes winning late.
Monmouth at Rhode Island When you write-off Monmouth they surprise. Another 47-45 game I predict with the Jersey team winning.
Stony Brook at Bryant Bryant in the CAA is like Depaul in the Big East..someone has to be last..Stony Brook continues to roll.
Towson at Richmond Another good game. Spiders beat the Heckle & Jeckle Tigers with 2nd half surge.
Campbell at Elon Both teams stink. Going with the home team
Maine at Oklahoma Another scheduling head-scratcher.. Hopefully Black Bears while enjoying the half million come home in one piece.

[UNHWildcat18]

W&M- NCA&T stinks
Nova- Defense helps them eek out a win
UNH- UNH is definitely better on the defensive side of the ball, both teams are sub par offensively....
URI- Much stronger defense. Just have to keep Monmouth Offense in check
SBU- Bryant stinks
Richmond- Towson will keep the game extremely close
Elon- Soup U will find a way to lose
Oklahoma- Maine gets slaughtered for a big pay day.

because you are pumping Monmouth and Massey has them as the fav

I really like Richmonds RB and the QB looks pretty good to. Defense is scrappy

apples and oranges when points and money involved- massey almost NEVER has humungous spreads and outcome wise maybe they are ok but for example- he made MU I think 8-10 pt faves against Fordham- there is almost no correlation from massey predictions to actual spread results from what I have seen. And THAT is my point. Also when I look at other spreads they are further off-- I guess my real point is that real $$ is now bet on FCS and for a .500 team to go on the road to play the # 14 team in nation, it is rare to see the .500 team in same conference as the favorites. With that said you know how I feel about this game so I agree with it, but thought there could be an opportunity for like a + 7 spread and + 250 money line.

i hear you, I don't bet but I do believe that FCS spreads offer some real head scratching opportunities for those that follow FCS closely ... I mean how are some of these odds makers still alive, the answer is not many FCS games are actually wagered on would be my guess

They also move A LOT late-- sometimes 5-10 pts.. Our game with you moved 5 points in the last hour (in favor of The Hens)...

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

William & Mary 37 NC A&T 13: Aggies are the perfect rebound opponent...
Villanova 30 Hampton 7: Wildcats offense smothers the Pirates
New Hampshire 16 Albany 14: The Wildcats win a slugfest in the Capital District...
Rhode Island 41 Monmouth 31:I like the Rams to keep their mojo...
Stony Brook 49 Bryant 17: Seawolves roll....are they in play for a seed?
Richmond 27 Towson 21: Odds are the Spiders win, margin of victory is anyone's guess given how unpredictable Towson is...
Elon 38 Campbell 34: I'll take the home team in a battle of two underachieving teams....
Oklahoma 55 Maine 20: if nothing else, this is a nice time of year to visit Norman...seriously. Much better than late August or early September when it's 100 degrees...

[MR. CHICKEN]

WM & MARY over N. CAROLINA A&T
ALBANY over N. HAMPSHIRE
VILLANOVA over HAMPTON
RHODE ISLAND over MONMOUTH
STONY BROOK over BRYANT
RICHMOND over TOWSON
ELON over CAMPBELL
OKLAHOMA over MAINE

[s-k]

I bet FCS exclusively. I believe that Massey is used as a basis for some opening spreads. Not all. Fan Duel is the one releasing lines first this year during the week. Last year it was the offshores on game day. The opening numbers Fan Duel is putting out are much better as a whole, but several appear to mirror Massey.

URI making a statement win
W&M handles the 16th place team.
UNH bounces back and keeps its hopes alive

Elon showing Soup U that they stink worse than they thought
Nova in a fight for its life

Richmond trying not to let Rhody have the top spot in the CAA next week with the tigers fighting for their playoff hopes.
