    My picks in bold

    Gannon (+17.5) at California - The Spocks get energized by the smell of The Viet Mon.

    Millersville (+21.5) at Lock Haven - Hugh Jack City gets to watch a rare beatdown by their own team for once.

    Shepherd at Shippensburg (+17.5) - The Battle of I-81 will be very anti climatic this year.

    West Chester (+3.5) at Bloomsburg - The Walk Ons keep screwing up my picks.

    Clarion (+7.5) at IUP - Finally...a home game.

    Edinboro (+21.5) at Slippery Rock - **** Slimey Pebble...the game that puts FS82 in a moral dilemma. :-)

    Kutztown at East Stroudsburg (+3.5) - Game of the Week but The Fighting Amish are shunning everyone and does East Dennyburg have rust after a week off?

    Frostburg State at Mercyhurst - I hope the Back Stabbers get Curb Stomped by their eventual replacement.

    New Haven at Bentley - New Haven has a better resume so far.

    West Florida (+10.5) at Grand Valley State - Even though the Popeye the Sailormen barely beat D3 Wisconsin-lacrosse

    Georgia at Alabama (+2.5) - Going with the higher ranked team

    Illinois (+14.5) at Penn State - James Tenandtwo might screw this up.

    Colorado (+11.5) at UCF - The Peon Clown Show has jumped the shark

    North Carolina (+3.5) at Duke - The Basketball Cheaters Bowl


    Bonus


    (1) This PSAC road team will score the MOST points in Week 4: Shepherd

    (2) This PSAC game will have the lowest combined points scored: Kutztown vs East Dennyburg

    (3) Millersville will score over or under 13.5 points in Week 4: Under

      Gannon (+17.5) at California: The LIT-AF Road Show makes it's way to Washington County to get LIT-UP-AF

      Millersville (+21.5) at Lock Haven: Baldies with the bye week

      Shepherd at Shippensburg (+17.5): Given the Sheep's offensive woes (how do you only muster 27 points against the Clarion-ettes?), Ship covers but loses

      West Chester (+3.5) at Bloomsburg: Are we close to calling a DUBs game a "bye week" yet? Because we may be getting to that point (last time the DUBs started 0-3: 2010)

      Clarion (+7.5) at IUP: The Red Chickens should have no problem with the Clarion-ettes

      Edinboro (+21.5) at Slippery Rock: Slippys seem to have found a little bit of a groove on offense

      Kutztown at East Stroudsburg (+3.5): KUBs have won last three meetings 21-14 (2021), 24-20 (2022) and 34-27 (2023) as part of a nine-game win streak in this rivalry which could very well decide the PSAC East (unless the Bloomies have something to say about it)

      Frostburg State at Mercyhurst: Think the Fake Lake Show is regretting their move to FCS?

      New Haven at Bentley: I don't see the Yugos knocking of New Haven, who've won five in a row and 13 of 16 in the all-time series

      West Florida (+10.5) at Grand Valley State: West Florida Man lost in double overtime to *checks notes* West Alabama ... The Lake Show barely beat D3 Wisconsin-Lacrosse at home ... GV wins but WFM covers

      Georgia at Alabama (+2.5): I'm not inclined to pick a post-Nick Satan 'Bama over UGA

      Illinois (+14.5) at Penn State: I trust Illinois (comma) Urbana-Champaign more than I trust State Penn at this stage of B1G play

      Colorado (+11.5) at UCF: Central Florida Man shuts up Me-ion's Mercenaries with ease

      North Carolina (+3.5) at Duke: You can't give up 70 to a program which has been in FBS for a minute... Carolina (comma) Chapel Hill deserves to lost every remaining game this season

      Bonus

      (1) This PSAC road team will score the MOST points in Week 4: Kutztown (almost by default, since most of the road offenses are kinda "meh")

      (2) This PSAC game will have the lowest combined points scored: West Chester/Bloomsburg (neither team has scored more than 24 points in the last six meetings - all decided by five points or less: WC 24-21 (OT) in 2023; Bloom 21-16 in 2022; WC 21-20 in 2021, 20-17 in 2019, 17-14 in 2018; Bloom 20-19 in 2017)

      (3) Millersville will score over or under 13.5 points in Week 4: Over (The Yuccos have scored 14+ five times in their last 10 games - all losses, which is on brand for them... I'll call for 17 in this game, but the Baldies hang 50 on them)
      Cal U (Pa.) Class of 2014

        Gannon (+17.5) at California- Cal is really gonna regret that opening L to Charleston.

        Millersville (+21.5) at Lock Haven- LH is better for sure, this spread seems aggressive though.

        Shepherd at Shippensburg (+17.5)- When/If Shepherd gets their OL interior back, is when I'll have faith the offense can score 20 pts. Let alone cover a spread that big in a rivalry game.

        West Chester (+3.5) at Bloomsburg- Bloom is on the rise, but I think WC is more battle tested at this stage and will get their first W.

        Clarion (+7.5) at IUP- Easy cover on another homer spread. Clarion's offense is bad.

        Edinboro (+21.5) at Slippery Rock- Rock's D is stingy, Edinboro's offense is stinky. Rock Covers.

        Kutztown at East Stroudsburg (+3.5)- Bears are class of the conference this year.

        Frostburg State at Mercyhurst

        New Haven at Bentley

        West Florida (+10.5) at Grand Valley State

        Georgia at Alabama (+2.5)

        Illinois (+14.5) at Penn State

        Colorado (+11.5) at UCF

        North Carolina (+3.5) at Duke


        Bonus


        (1) This PSAC road team will score the MOST points in Week 4: Shepherd

        (2) This PSAC game will have the lowest combined points scored: Kutztown vs ESU

        (3) Millersville will score over or under 13.5 points in Week 4: Over, LH is too undisciplined.

          Gannon (+17.5) at California - The Boom Squad is coming to the Viet Mon Valley -- where it will get #LIT-UP-AF. Fo rizzle

          Millersville (+21.5) at Lock Haven - The frustrations will be taken out on the Marauders.

          Shepherd at Shippensburg (+17.5) - Rams cover. Late.

          West Chester (+3.5) at Bloomsburg - All is not well in the land of the walk-ons. They start 0-4 and some may walk off.

          Clarion (+7.5) at IUP - With a team likely looking ahead (and famous for duds in home openers), Team Tort pulls out an ugly, 20-10, win.

          Edinboro (+21.5) at Slippery Rock - Jake Nulph may still be on a tirade come kick-off. He'll be on another one afterward.

          Kutztown at East Stroudsburg (+3.5) - Two weeks to prepare and a home crowd. Will it be enough?

          Frostburg State at Mercyhurst - Lake Show is a home dog to a D2 team.

          New Haven at Bentley - Chargers are tough in their conference. Not so much out of it.

          West Florida (+10.5) at Grand Valley State - WF stays close enough.

          Georgia at Alabama (+2.5) - Payback time.

          Illinois (+14.5) at Penn State - Seems like a big number.

          Colorado (+11.5) at UCF - Coach Prime's won two straight.

          North Carolina (+3.5) at Duke - James Madison just scored again and Mack just said he's retiring for the 27th time.

            "West Chester (+3.5) at Bloomsburg - The Walk Ons keep screwing up my picks."

            Ship has had its woes in recent seasons, but West Chester is a big puzzle to me. By far the largest school in the PSAC and for years a power in the East, you'd think they could come up with the resources and coaching to field better teams than they have recently. Part of the reason for the recent dominance of Kutztown and Shepherd has been the total absence of the type of West Chester team we used to see. And even East Stroud and Lock Haven have surpassed them at present.

              Finally getting into Divisional Play:

              Week 4


              Gannon (+17.5) at California--I think this one will be right around 17 pts. Cal's D stepped up big time last week, and their Offense looked like it started getting into a rhythm.

              Millersville (+21.5) at Lock Haven: LHU will win this game.I just don't think they do so by more than 3 scores.

              Shepherd at Shippensburg (+17.5): I don't think Shep wins by over 17 pts, but this may be the week that their offense gets it figured out. Picking this long shot of a score.

              West Chester (+3.5) at Bloomsburg: not sure WCU wins, but think they don't lose by more than 3.

              Clarion (+7.5) at IUP: I think IUP wins by at least 10.

              Edinboro (+21.5) at Slippery Rock: Rock by 25

              Kutztown at East Stroudsburg (+3.5) Game of the Week. Went back and forth over this game. It'll be close.

              Frostburg State at Mercyhurst: I hope 'Hurst doesn't win another game this year, or next. But I forgot they play D3 Buffalo State in October and a school with no home Lincoln, CA so they likely will

              New Haven at Bentley

              West Florida (+10.5) at Grand Valley State

              Georgia at Alabama (+2.5)

              Illinois (+14.5) at Penn State

              Colorado (+11.5) at UCF

              North Carolina (+3.5) at Duke

                Gannon (+17.5) at California

                Millersville (+21.5) at Lock Haven- Haven wins, but not enough to cover the spread.

                              Gannon (+17.5) at California - Cal takes their first big (numerical) win against a Gannon squad that’s quietly off to a bad start.

                              Millersville (+21.5) at Lock Haven - Too big of a spread not to roll the dice.

                              Shepherd at Shippensburg (+17.5) - Shepherd’s offense looks discombobulated; it may not matter against Ship’s even more punchless offense.

                              West Chester (+3.5) at Bloomsburg - WCU has been gashed by running teams to this point and while BU is more okay than great at rushing they like to run it a lot. Meanwhile WCU is better at passing but BU’s DBs might be the best part of their team. Strength checks strength and the Huskies take one at home.

                              Clarion (+7.5) at IUP - IUP makes Clarion look like another Millersville in a tune up before the first big West game of the season.

                              Edinboro (+21.5) at Slippery Rock - Copy-paste that IUP prediction here

                              Kutztown at East Stroudsburg (+3.5) - ESU desperately needs to steal one from KU or Shep and I think the latter is more likely. KU comes out ahead by ~7.

                              Frostburg State at Mercyhurst - FSU drubs another low-quality SR1 team. Their only good opponent this year will be Charleston and a slip-up anywhere else could make the MEC a 1-bid league.

                              New Haven at Bentley - The NE10 office is probably pulling for Haven but Bentley gets the home win.

                              West Florida (+10.5) at Grand Valley State - GVSU wins but UWF covers.

                              Georgia at Alabama (+2.5)

                              Illinois (+14.5) at Penn State

                              Colorado (+11.5) at UCF

                              North Carolina (+3.5) at Duke

                              (1) This PSAC road team will score the MOST points in Week 4: Shepherd. Ship’s offense will probably give Shep enough good field position to score decently even if the Rams offense doesn’t execute great.

                              (2) This PSAC game will have the lowest combined points scored: Millersville @ Lock Haven.

                              (3) Millersville will score over or under 13.5 points in Week 4: Under
