Re: Pick 'Em - Week 1

My picks in bold.

1-Point games

Lincoln at Lock Haven - At least the fans will have a pretty view from the stands...it just won't be the game on the field. Ms Taylor will hate the Haven being 1-0.

Slippery Rock (-17) at Wayne State - The Fighting Gym Teachers will enjoy their Tour de Detroit.

Gannon at Southern Connecticut State - St Thugs just not classy enough to be in Connecticut.

Lake Erie College at Mercyhurst (-24.5) - The Lake Show wins this battle of the Lake before the kickoff.

Millersville at Pace - I refuse to pick Mafrauders ever again in an OOC game until they can prove they can win one.

California (-21.5) at Saint Anselm - I guess the Little Sisters of The Poor were already booked for the All World Spocks. So St. Elsewhere was the next easiest cupcake available.

Bentley at West Chester (-17.5) - The Walk Ons In a Cake Walk.

Clarion at Shippensburg - Hopefully they still aren't basking over their win against IUP.

Stonehill at Bloomsburg - I just hope Bloom wins so it delays the inevitable whining from Blooms fans everytime they lose this season.

East Stroudsburg (+21.5) at Wagner - Will Jimmy cash the check on the way home?

Edinboro (+35.5) at Grand Valley State - Did The Groundskeeper Willies already cash the check?


2-Point games:

Ohio Dominican at Shepherd - A week one playoff qualifier....the loser won't be that hurt for a postseason berth

New Haven at IUP - A classic rivalry renewed. Should be a permanent OOC series.

Assumption at Kutztown - Assumption was supposed to be a regional tour de force...they faded more than IUP did last year.


** Bonus ** (1 pt)

LSU at Texas - They both cheat so who cares.

Re: Pick 'Em - Week 1

1-Point games
Lincoln at Lock Haven ,,, Well, they better get it now.
Slippery Rock (-17) at Wayne State ... First step in a big season.
Gannon at Southern Connecticut State ... Hearing good things from the Northwest.
Lake Erie College at Mercyhurst (-24.5) ... It's Lake Erie.
Millersville at Pace ... Growth comes slowly.
California (-21.5) at Saint Anselm ... Track meet (on one side).
Bentley at West Chester (-17.5) ... Probably the East's beast.
Clarion at Shippensburg ... High-scoring start at Pizza House Field at Seth Grove Stadium in the Arooga's Athletic Complex.
Stonehill at Bloomsburg ... I like where the Huskies are going.
East Stroudsburg (+21.5) at Wagner ... A bit outclassed here.
Edinboro (+35.5) at Grand Valley State ... Might be double that line.

2-Point games
Ohio Dominican at Shepherd ... Guess who's new and playing wild-eyed?
New Haven at IUP ... Purely a coin flip.
Assumption at Kutztown ... DiGalbo throws it around and over.

** Bonus ** (1 pt)
LSU at Texas ... Bayou Bengals under the lights? Hmm, baby.

Re: Pick 'Em - Week 1

1-Point games

Lincoln at Lock Haven -- Bald Eagles are a rare home favorite

Slippery Rock (-17) at Wayne State -- Gym Teachers may give up some points in this one -- but will score a ton

Gannon at Southern Connecticut State -- The #LIT-AF hit squad drops the boom ... and gets some revenge for embarrassing home loss in last year's opener

Lake Erie College at Mercyhurst (-24.5) - Erie Cathedral Prep would have been a bigger test for the Lake Show

Millersville at Pace -- Mauraders have lost two straight to mighty Pace. After this one, Millersville's next three weeks: IUP, SRU, West Chester. S.O.S.

California (-21.5) at Saint Anselm - Long ride. Easy game. This will be UGLY.

Bentley at West Chester (-17.5) - Rams kick off an easy September with a beating.

Clarion at Shippensburg - Clarion should be able to put up some points in this one but not enough.

Stonehill at Bloomsburg -- Huskies in a run-away

East Stroudsburg (+21.5) at Wagner -- Warriors stay close for a half then the lack of depth takes over

Edinboro (+35.5) at Grand Valley State -- It's a heavy number but the Fighting Scots will be way over-matched


2-Point games:

Ohio Dominican at Shepherd -- Toughest game on the board. Flip a coin.

New Haven at IUP -- I read somewhere IUP may have the most explosive offense in the world

Assumption at Kutztown -- Golden Bears may be sneaky good ... but this one won't be easy


** Bonus ** (1 pt)

LSU at Texas -- Longhorns getting (as usual) a lot of hype. Tigers thrive in primetime.

Re: Pick 'Em - Week 1

1-Point games

Lincoln at Lock Haven - Lincoln did win a game last year! We'll find out if it's any sort of upward trend quick.
Slippery Rock (-17) at Wayne State - I like Slippery Rock to win this but that is a big road line for Week 1 against a team that was better than their record last year.
Gannon at Southern Connecticut State - Gannon opens against SCSU yet again. Last year was their first loss in the series, I'd be surprised by a repeat.
Lake Erie College at Mercyhurst (-24.5) - Lake Erie would probably get blown out by Seton Hill.
Millersville at Pace - The real question is if Millersville keeps it competitive.
California (-21.5) at Saint Anselm - Good game for Cal's reserves to get in a half of game time.
Bentley at West Chester (-17.5) - Rams probably clear this spread by halftime.
Clarion at Shippensburg - Could be close in the first half but Ship will pull away.
Stonehill at Bloomsburg - If Bloom is going to keep its winning season streak alive, it can't drop this one.
East Stroudsburg (+21.5) at Wagner - The only way ESU covers this spread is if they've somehow learned how to play good defense.
Edinboro (+35.5) at Grand Valley State - If GVSU pulls their starters, I can see Boro grabbing a garbage time touchdown. That line is huge.

2-Point games

Ohio Dominican at Shepherd - ODU just missed the playoffs again last year. I have to imagine they're on a mission.
New Haven at IUP - If IUP loses this, the postgame meltdown on this board will be glorious.
Assumption at Kutztown - I see this one going down to the wire.

** Bonus ** (1 pt)

LSU at Texas - It's when Texas is the most hyped that they are the most disappointing.

EDIT: Changed ODU-Shep pick

This will again be posted early this year in attempt to get as many players as possible.

Miss (2) weeks and you're out. Also, please try and limit the dialogue on this thread (post comments with your picks but please keep random messages in the other threads).

Note: As some of these Week 1 games are a total waste as straight picks ... a few will have point spreads. Pick with the spread.
