[MUHAWKS]

Hampton at Towsonu- toss up- only reak egg towson laid was Stony- hampton is a scary team to play
UAlbany at Stony Brook- SB barely escapes dreadful Bryant-IMO jury still out on SB- Albany in an upset
NC A&T at Villanova- LOL
Elon at W&M is elon good? average? what are they?
Rhode Island at Delaware -with all due respect to URI, I think The Hens can play B- game and still win.

Bryant at Maine-Maine seems a bit better but Bryant at times can surprise
Monmouth at UNH- a laugher up north- could be 42-7 UNH- we are reeling, hurt, UNH D is apparently good and have found their Offense- we have ZERO D-Our Offense has been figured out and went from being 30 seconds from putting URI away to another close loss- We cannot and will not come back from this and once again will need to rebuild as everyone transfers out. A shame. (you tell me if I am being serious or not)..
Richmond at Campbell- watch the spiders make me look dumb caribhen

[UNHWildcat18]

Hampton at Towson- Towson wins if they have their original more stern looking logo, they lose if they wear the more childish one...
Albany at Stony Brook- Battle of the SUNYs AE vs CAA(mistake), I think SBU eeks out a win but I do think Albany found their QB in Trey Lindsey, not sure if its his final year of eligibility.
NC A&T at Villanova- NC A&T probably wishing they joined the SWAC and kept making that Celebration bowl money. Nova 45-3
Elon at W&M- Upset special as Elon puts W&M in playoff panic mode. 30-27
Rhode island at Delaware- I think URI continues to find a way to win(hoping they win out). UD is down to their 3/4th string QB again right? BAWK?
Bryant at Maine- I think Maine crushes a sad Bryant team after their last second loss to SBU in OT. Maine is going to be fired up to be home and they play tough.
Monmouth at UNH- If UNH plays tough D AND the offense scores on long sustained drives I can see us winning at home for sure. However if UNH offense struggles to create drives and allows Monmouth to score on quick drives we will not win a shootout style game vs Monmouth.
Richmond vs SoupU - Hoping Richmond also wins out and SoupU will definitely help them on that journey

William & Mary is currently in playoff panic mode. A loss to Elon puts us out ​of playoff panic mode!

Congrats on nailing yout CAA picks last week

Delaware used third string QB in victory over Albany, he was rusty. Nobody seems to know who’s starting until 10 minutes before the game.

Week 11

A number of good games again on the docket and 5 teams in the top 25. Not a bad year so far for the CAA.

#11 URI (5-0, 8-1) @ Delaware (7-1)
Series: UD lead 25-11
Hens host key match-up after 4 straight games in Kingston. Last URI win was 2021. This would be the signature win for the Rams this season if they can get it. I think the Hens will lack the motivation, come out flat and URI moves along with a tremendous season.

UALBANY (1-4, 3-6) @ #17 STONY BROOK (4-1, 7-2)
Series: UAlbany 15-10
What a difference a year makes, these two totally flipped in the CAA. I like the Seawolves to continue their winning trend and run away with this one.

BRYANT (0-5, 2-7) @ MAINE (2-3, 4-5)
Series: Maine 5-1
Bulldogs just missed a possible huge CAA win, their first, last week hosting SBU, failing on a missed 2 pointer in OT. Meanwhile, the Bears shake off the dust from Oklahoma and rebound in this one. Maine is tough at home, a bit too much yet for a scrappy Bulldog team.

ELON (2-3, 3-6) @ #20 W&M (3-2, 6-3)
Series: W&M 5-4
Elon has won two straight in this series, both upsets, in a series which is becoming increasingly hot. Both teams lit up the scoreboards last weekend against basement teams. This will be another hard fought game in the series. I think the Tribe has the motivation to take this - any postseason aspirations and payback are on the line and will make the difference to the Military Appreciation crowd at Zable.

MONMOUTH (2-3, 4-5) @ UNH (3-2, 5-4)
Series: UNH 2-0
The Wildcats are still potentially lurking in the CAA race while the Hawks ran out of gas late in a valiant effort last week at URI. I expect the Hawks to be a bit down while UNH remains here a hurdle that the Hawks find just a bit too high yet to reach the upper tier. UNH wins an entertaining game.

NC A&T (0-5, 1-8) @ #12 VILLANOVA (4-1, 7-2)
Series: VU 1-0
No drama on the Mainline this weekend. Wildcats roll on.

HAMPTON (2-3, 5-4) @ TOWSON (2-3, 4-5)
Series: Towson 1-0
Looks like a true toss-up to me. Pirates have been more than competitive last four games while Towson continues to flirt with good showings. So I’ll just go with the home field in this one.

#13 RICHMOND (5-0, 7-2) @ CAMPBELL (1-4, 3-6)
Series: UR 1-0
This could be the upset of the week and I’m going to go with the Camels putting together their best showing of the year. It will be a tough task as the Spiders look well prepared each week - but this might be the Spider edition that struggled against NC A&T and Wofford. Hump’s up!

Richmond at Campbell- watch the spiders make me look dumb caribhen

Elon is just as underrated as the Camels are overrated.... we've heard for years how much talent Campbell has but for some strange reason they can't win

Richmond not gonna make you look dumb this week ..... that happened last week .... ouch, just messing with you Hawks xlolx

Delaware might be down to 4th string QB this Saturday; Streeter is his name and MUHAWKS educated my on his deep football family background earlier this season

Congrats Marcus Yarns, he missed a few games earlier and looked banged up, Carty forgot about him at Richmond but last week Yarns was spectacular against Albany.

Carty must be trying to save the redshirts for his top 2 QB's, would have to be a medical redshirt for Oconner I believe.

I'm ready for Carty to land a better more durable dual Threat type QB for next year.... but let's see what Streeter can do first

Well I almost had it! URI losing their starting QB really made it hard for them to win vs UD but even with the back up they kept it respectable.

Elon with the miracle… W&M probably punching holes in their livingroom walls right now.

UNH puts on a great performance vs Monmouth, still we would need to win out to even hope for a playoff spot.

Richmond’s move to the stanky PL next year is looking worse and worse…

Yep, UNH marching towards playoffs maybe

and William had a great drive to take the lead in that game with about a minute left, not sure what was going on in Elon earlier in the season but they are a different team right now

Richmond QB Coleman is impressive, the type of player that can put a team on his back and pull out a game

Those of us who have watched W&M this year knew we have issues. Even a little cursory investigation reveals the obvious. Richmond, despite big injury bugs, keeps winning. Coaches look to understand prep. and the need for discipline. I really dislike UR, but give them credit for pushing through it all the last two years.

I know what you mean, last 2 years nowhere near as good as the 2022 team
