[WrenFGun]

Even against a really bad offensive team in JMU, UNH put up just 21 points on offense. I just don't see a high scoring affair in Foxboro.

17-14 to the winner, whoever that may be.

I like W&M, 'Nova, Richmond and Maine this week.

What he said.......surprising lack of confidence by UDel fans......my gut says your transfer QB is better than mary & bill's transfer QB.

I don't think it's a lack of confidence at all. It's the CAA and nobody runs through this thing untouched. I think the third trip to Virginia hurts and if they are going to lose a game, I don't think it's UMass, and I just have a feeling we will beat Nova at home with playoff seeding and at least a share of the CAA Championship on the line.

In Newark, I like the matchup of our O against their D, and I think we win.

In Billburg? Third trip to VA? Them coming off a bye? Us coming off our worst game?

That's a tall order.

That's more like it, though I will say UNH's offense looked about as good as it has this season in the 2nd half against JMU.

Not really sure what this means. But Wren, you've been too quick to jump ship. Regardless of outcome, I am enjoying being a CAA fan. This weekends schedule is incredible. FWIW, my call is UNH 28- UMASS 20. As far as the rest of the games,, who knows but I'll give it a go: W&M, JMU, Rhody, Richmond.

I hear you, but - things happen in 3's, the bye week might actually hurt them and and we will be better this week

While I don't totally disagree with the comment, this bye could not have come at a better time. We had a ton of players banged up and needed some time to heal for the stretch. It's gonna be a great game, happy I got a ticket!

you givin the Tribe a safety? 7/7/3/2?

ODU loves to score not play D. They should get more than that on the stellar GaSt. D

Are you calling the game like Herbstreit and can't pick sides?

[caribbeanhen]

Yep, should be a great one, we'll see - If both teams bring the A game, who wins?
I am leaning towards Delaware - 30-27 in Overtime

[Col Hogan]

Maine at Rhode Island - Black Bears by a narrow margin
Delaware at William & Mary - The Tribe defense wins the game
Massachusetts at New Hampshire (Neutral Site) - Blind homerism
Towson at Richmond - The Spider defense stifles
James Madison at Villanova - I almost pushed on this one, it will be close

[Fear the Bird]

xbangx xnottalkingx how about 7/3/3/3/3

haha, fair enough. Guess you saw our kicker back on the two deep so you think we can kick from anywhere now xeyebrowx

hope it's a good game. Surprised so many UD fans picking the Tribe.

[Oldhen]

FWIW... W&M may beat UD, and I've already pencilled that in as our first loss, but folks that are predicting they're going to score 30-35 points just haven't been paying close attention.

[emilimo701]

UNH 38 UMass 35 (OT) Best game of the week

I'll be very surpised if more than 60 combined points are scored.

[BlueHenSinfonian]

I'm thinking it will be a close game, and our biggest challenge yet this year. To a certain extent I'm glad we had the close call vs. Rhody last week, the worst thing a team can ever do is believe the hype and start to rest on their laurels. Still, the Tribe is coming in rested, and it will be our 8th game straight without a bye. The Hens have been playing well on the road this year though.

I believe you are correct, but I would take the over on the 33 point total points posted by 5 dimes.

[VT Wildcat Fan53]

HOME TEAM SWEEP this weekend, ...

Maine 21 at Rhode Island 24 xnodx Rams are for real, .... somewhat.
Delaware 14 at William & Mary 21 xeyebrowx No fun to be #1 at any time other than in January, ....
Massachusetts 17 at New Hampshire 20 (2OT) at Gillette xthumbsupx At Gillette, 25K+, on CSNNE, two teams desperately needing to win, ... Why not make it an instant classic? xsmileyclapx
Towson 3 at Richmond 5 xcoffeex Defense rules, QB's szooze.
James Madison 14 at Villanova 28 xnonono2x Dukes still reeling from homecoming debacle.

[Nebuta]

Bill and Gary over Wuuuu Dee in the blowfish. - UD looks like they are ready to lose one. The pressure of being undefeated is just getting to be too much. The team has played tight the last couple weeks. W&M is a legit NC contender, with an excellent offense and defense. They should win at home.

Nova-cane nums the Dukes - Nova has an offense. JMU doesnt. Simple as that.

Spiders hang a fang on the tigers. - Towson shouldnt get too excited about UR's one dimension attack last week. UR is clearly the better team and should coast to the easy win.

Goats over Bears - URI has played the Top CAA teams close. They get over the hump and pull off the "W"

Wild kitties claw their way out of grocery bag with a nice win over the Minuteman. UNH needs this win to salvage the season.

I hear you, but the OT I am predicting is the wildcard.. those OT final scores are like politicians - distrort the truth

[JMUNJ08]

Busy week so no time to really go in-depth so here we go. Looking to improve on a 2-2 week. All teams in action and I believe all should be close. This week could really separate the contenders from the pretenders for the playoffs or muddy the water further. UNH/UR are still in a must win mode while losses by JMU/UMass would put them in jeopardy after strong early season play. Never a dull moment in the CAA!

[GeeWiz]

UD 28 W&M 21 - Blue Chickens hold on for a close win on the road
'Nova 27 JMU 14 - Philly Cats at home are too much for stagnant Dukes offense
URI 27 Maine 24 in OT - Rhody pulls their annual home upset, this time over the Dirty Cubs
UNH 35 UMass 31 - Durham Cats get out of Foxboro with a close win over their NE rivals
UR 27 Towson 17 - Spiders hold on for a ten point win over an improving Tiger team

and in the REALLY big one ...

... ODU 41 GSU 28 - Monarchs pull away for a wild high-scoring win over their soon-to-be CAA rival Panthers
