    WEEK 1

    Clarion at Lincoln (PA): Golden Eagles played some decent ball last year but was that potential being realized or just a positive response to a new staff?

    Ashland at IUP (Two-Point Game of the Week): Just like a few years ago, could these teams be more similar? Ashland has a new coach and QB, but their QB was last year's backup with some decent experience. IUP has a returning coach but with an entirely new QB. Some question marks on how well things will come together in Week 1 for both teams. Coin flip goes to home team.

    Bloomsburg at Fairmont State: Bloom still has some talent. Coaching is suspect. But mediocre PSAC East should always be better than bottom tier MEC. No offense.

    Gannon at Charleston (WV): Both teams have the same color scheme. LitAF sets the precedent of the Erie schools driving really far for a shellacking.

    Saint Anselm at Millersville: Pulling for Morgan and the Ville this year.

    Seton Hill at Wheeling: Ballsy WR for Seton Hill gets stuffed.

    Pace at East Stroudsburg: I like where Jimmy T has this team going.

    Mercyhurst (+31.5) at Ferris State: Hurst showed some glimmers of promise last year but this will be a LONG bus ride home.

    Southern Connecticut State at Shepherd: Meet the new Shepherd, same as the old Shepherd.

    Kutztown at Assumption: KU will be good this year, but so will Assumption. Coin flip goes to home team.

    Newberry at Shippensburg: Newberry picked to win the SAC, which at times has been a strong conference.

    Edinboro (+28.5) at Duquesne: I'll be there. Hoping I'm wrong. I'd say 1 in 5 chance Boro pulls the upset. 1 in 3 they cover the spread.

    Post at Lock Haven: Why not. Win goes to Commonwealth University - Twitter.

    West Chester at Bentley: Bentley should be decent this year but they had a late hire coach who at least was internal. Golden Rams should also be decent, but decent PSAC trumps decent NE10 nearly every time.

    Wayne State at Slippery Rock: Rock is HYPED for this game. I expect 9,700 is the reported attendance.

    West Virginia at Penn State: Things are not good in Morgantown.


    BONUS

    1) This game will have the lowest combined points scored: Ashland/IUP

    2) This game will have the highest combined points scored: Wayne State/Slippery Rock

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

      WEEK 1

      PICKS IN BOLD

      Clarion at Lincoln (PA)- Clarion needs to start well

      Ashland at IUP (Two-Point Game of the Week)- Ashland has a chance if they can run the ball and keep ball away from IUP; if they can't run this could be a blowout.

      Bloomsburg at Fairmont State- With the 'Ville improving and ESU getting better, it could be another down year for the Huskies.

      Gannon at Charleston (WV)-I expect Gannon to be good, this game is big for them, if they want to be taken seriously

      Saint Anselm at Millersville- both teams have been improving, should be a competitive game.

      Seton Hill at Wheeling- one WR can't win a game

      Pace at East Stroudsburg- Warriors may finish 3rd in east

      Mercyhurst (+31.5) at Ferris State- Scary, Ferris may be better this year than last

      Southern Connecticut State at Shepherd- Rams should smash this cupcake.

      Kutztown at Assumption- this could be the best game of the week

      Newberry at Shippensburg- A tough game for Ship even at home

      Edinboro (+28.5) at Duquesne- Dukes have no reason to run up score, but Boro is not in their division

      Post at Lock Haven- can't see a ton of points being scored

      West Chester at Bentley- I just think West Chester is sneaking under the radar, huge game next week.

      Wayne State at Slippery Rock- Lots of question marks for THE ROCK, especially on defense, will they be able to stop the run??

      West Virginia at Penn State- Hillbillies are going to be bad again this year and will have a new coach next


      BONUS

      1) This game will have the lowest combined points scored- Post- Lock Haven

      2) This game will have the highest combined points scored- Gannon/Charleston

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

        "Newberry at Shippensburg- A tough game for Ship even at home."

        We've had a few of those lately. We were 1-4 at home last season.

          Wayne State at Slippery Rock: Rock is HYPED for this game. I expect 9,700 is the reported attendance.

          That should be the attendance number on Sept 30.

          guessing 7100 for opening night

                      They'll all have spreads next week. Gotta throw the players some freebies to start off the season.
