Pick 'Em - Week 1

[EastStroud13]

Clarion at Lincoln (PA) - Lions seemed to take a step last year. This won't be good football, but it should be an entertaining game.

Ashland at IUP (Two-Point Game of the Week) - Ashland will end the season better than they start it, but they're replacing a lot.

Bloomsburg at Fairmont State - Good litmus test. A Husky win would be very encouraging.

Gannon at Charleston (WV) - Hopes are up for Gannon, and Charleston is coming off a down year. The ingredients are all there for a classic Gannon disappointment!

Saint Anselm at Millersville - Two improving programs. This is pretty close to a toss-up, so since many are picking the Ville, I'll go the other way.

Seton Hill at Wheeling - Cardinals are building something solid.

Pace at East Stroudsburg - This has turned into a fun non-con back-and-forth. But it's also an ESU must-win if they hope to be relevant.

Mercyhurst (+31.5) at Ferris State - Aww... good luck, Lakers.

Southern Connecticut State at Shepherd - No Tyson, no problem. At least for this one.

Kutztown at Assumption - I think the Bears are more likely to be better than last season than worse.

Newberry at Shippensburg - Newberry should've been a playoff team last season. The SAC is about the same level as the PSAC, if not better.

Edinboro (+28.5) at Duquesne - Spread makes this tricky... but I'm not brave enough.

Post at Lock Haven - Pillow fight of the year! Both rosters are, once again, very young and inexperienced.

West Chester at Bentley - These teams have traded off home wins the past few years. A Rams win would send notice to the division.

Wayne State at Slippery Rock - Wayne St really should be much better than they are.

West Virginia at Penn State - WVU isn't in Penn State's conference... but Oregon is. Make it make sense.

1) This game will have the lowest combined points scored: Kutztown vs. Assumption

2) This game will have the highest combined points scored: Gannon vs. Charleston

3) BLOWOUT CITY - This team will lose by the largest margin in Week 1: Mercyhurst

Thanks for running this again! I know it's a pain to keep track of but I know I (and I'm sure everyone else) appreciates it. It's fun, especially for those of us supporting the schools that may not be in the upper echelon in the PSAC.

[TheBigCat2192]

Clarion at Lincoln (PA) - Both of these teams stunk last year and will probably stink this year. In a battle of bad teams give me the home side.

Ashland at IUP (Two-Point Game of the Week) - IUP returns a lot from the team that beat Ashland last year and while the QB is new he has a track record of performance at this level. IUP jumps out to an early lead in the race for top team in the region.

Bloomsburg at Fairmont State - It’s probably going to be a long season up on the hill.

Gannon at Charleston (WV) - I’ll take the home side and the over for this one.

Saint Anselm at Millersville - Saint Anselm splashes some cold water in the face of the “Millersville is back!” crowd.

Seton Hill at Wheeling - Similar logic to Lincoln over Clarion; home team pick in a bad team matchup.

Pace at East Stroudsburg - ESU avenges last years opener.

Mercyhurst (+31.5) at Ferris State - This game will be over by halftime but the line is too juicy not to play in the hopes that Mercyhurst can put up some garbage time scores against Ferris’s 4th string.

Southern Connecticut State at Shepherd - I know that anything can happen but most likely this is going to a fairly safe way to see what whoever the new starting QB is can do in a real game.

Kutztown at Assumption - KU might be a better team than Assumption but winning on the road against another decent squad is hard.

Newberry at Shippensburg - Ship isn’t a cupcake but I still expect this to be more of a tuneup game for an opponent with realistic playoff hopes.

Edinboro (+28.5) at Duquesne - Them Duke boys are about to show us the difference between a bad 63 scholly team and a bad 15 scholly team.

Post at Lock Haven - Lock Haven beat these guys in a nail-biter last year and I’m not convinced they’ve gotten any better on the field. Post takes the rematch.

West Chester at Bentley - Bentley isn’t as good as the cars but they’re still a step above WCU and playing at home.

Wayne State at Slippery Rock - I’ve been told that if Wayne State were in our region they’d look like Alabama. Slippery Rock will show otherwise (again).

West Virginia at Penn State - Geriatric West Virginia fans like to tell us that this was a proud rivalry destroyed by conference realignment. A look at the actual record book shows that this series is about as much a rivalry as hammer vs nail. Maybe some day WVU will get that elusive 10th win but it’s not gonna be under Neal Brown.

1) This game will have the lowest combined points scored: Clarion at Lincoln (PA)

2) This game will have the highest combined points scored: Gannon at Charleston (WV)

Well, I hope Ship won't be a cupcake this season. That remains to be seen. From SAC posts I've read, the chief knock against Newberry is that they've lost a good chunk of their offense from last year. My best-case scenario is that a Ship defense that was extremely young last year takes a step up and hangs with them. We'll see. On the current PSAC landscape, a few teams such as IUP and Shepherd worry about which star will replace which star. For the rest, we hope to have a competitive team on the field.

[jrshooter]

Clarion at Lincoln (PA) ... I don't think I have ever picked Lincoln to win an athletic competition.
Ashland at IUP (Two-Point Game of the Week) ... Tough opponent, but the hosts have reloaded.
Bloomsburg at Fairmont State ... But just think when Mansfield's sprints and LHU's varsity all transfer to main campus.
Gannon at Charleston (WV) ... Gannon's a better program than I've given them credit for.
Saint Anselm at Millersville ... I really think this is the start of something interesting.
Seton Hill at Wheeling ... Wheeling QB Javon Davis is pretty good.
Pace at East Stroudsburg ... Some intriguing recruits have arrived in the Poconos.
Mercyhurst (+31.5) at Ferris State ... There's no mercy rule, but ...
Southern Connecticut State at Shepherd ... Rams don't fall off the map minus Bagent.
Kutztown at Assumption ... I'm just making one.
Newberry at Shippensburg ... Even though I'm looking forward to the unveiling of Onasis Neely..
Edinboro (+28.5) at Duquesne ... Jordan Heisey might get PT here ... and I KNOW Ian Sheehan will.
Post at Lock Haven ... Hey, it'll be a nice view.
West Chester at Bentley ... As much of a chance to top the East as anyone.
Wayne State at Slippery Rock ... Crapload of talent lands in Butler County.
West Virginia at Penn State ... Ah, c'mon.
