#1 West Georgia (9-0, 5-0) at Florida Tech (6-3, 4-1) @ 1 PM EST on ESPN3
Last Year: UWG 49-35
Series: 3rdrd nationally in Total Defense and 4th in Scoring Defense, and the FIT offense, averaging over 442 yards per game, square off. Any hope for upset will take the help of the Panthers defense to hold the Wolves out of the end zone a few times and maybe even snag a couple of key turnovers to set up the offense for potential success. Otherwise, it will be business as usual for another UWG victory.
My Pick: Wolves by 14
#11 North Alabama (6-2, 4-1) at Shorter (2-6, 1-4) @ 1:30 PM EST
Last Year: UNA 45-7
Series: 4thth in the nation in Total Offense, to be the difference-maker in this matchup.
My Pick: Lions by 17
Mississippi College (2-6, 0-5) at West Alabama (6-3, 2-3) @ 1 PM CST
Last Year: UWA 41-28
Series: 42nd
My Pick: Tigers by 17
#19 Valdosta State (6-2, 3-2) at Delta State (5-4, 1-4) @ 4 PM CST
Last Year: DSU 49-32
Series: 35thth in the nation averaging 9.1 tackles for a loss per game, yet VSU only allows just over 5 TFL on average, ranking 35th nationally. Delta State has won eight of the last nine meetings in this series and the Blazers are looking to get that trend turned back around and keep their standing in the regional rankings for a potential playoff bid.
My Pick: Blazers by 17
