Stillman at West Alabama @ 6 PM CSTMy Prediction: UWA Tigers 24-10

Newberry at Florida Tech @ 7 PM ESTMy Prediction: Panthers 21-17

Texas College at Mississippi College @ 7 PM CST

Who truly knows what MC will look like this season with all the transfers they added in the off-season. What I do know is that Texas College was winless last season in NAIA play and that should bode well for MC and provide a tune-up game for the new faces on the Choctaws squad, especially at home.

My prediction: Choctaws 28-0

(#13) North Alabama at Miles @ 6 PM CST My prediction: Lions 35-7
