SoCon predictions week 6

[ASUG8]

Howard @ Furman - FU looks to bounce back handily after loss to the Terriers
Chatty @ El Cid - Bulldogs still struggling with new offense
Elon @ ASU - history and home field = ASU win
Samford @ Western Carolina - don't know - which WCU team shows up?
Wofford @ GSU - should be a great one - I'm leaning toward GSU, but not enough to bold it.

[SpeedkingATL]

Howard @ Furman - Furman takes out its frustrations against Howard.
Chatty @ El Cid - UTC appears to be on the upswing while Citdogs are still struggling.
Elon @ ASU - ASU is tough to beat at The Rock but this is almost a playoff elimination game for Elon. Riddle throws for a lot of yardage but the Fenix still fall to the Apps......again.
Samford @ Western Carolina - Maybe my first time in years picking the Cats to win a SoCo game but they actually appear to be improving. Sammy is underachieving and WCU has a little confidence. Cats in a squeaker at home.
Wofford @ GSU - Never thought at the beginning of the season that this game would carry so much weight in the SoCon and nationally. GSU playing at home having already played well against a good option team in Navy should win this game. Nothing the ankle-biters ever do surprises me so don't count them out but I can't see GSU losing this game at home.

Howard @ Furman Paladins win big
Chatty @ Citadel Tough year for Bulldogs, Chatty by two touchdowns
Elon @ App Moutaineers shut the door on Elon's SoCon and playoff hopes
Samford @ WCU Which Western team shows up? Samford by a touchdown
Wofford @ GSU Should be a hell of a game. I give GSU the nod since the game is in Statesboro

[JConnolly]

Howard @ Furman Furman is angry
Chatty @ El Cid Chatty by 14 El Cid keeps up its struggles
Elon @ ASU ASU is too strong plus homefield plus Riddle chokes in the big one AGAIN. 3 Picks
Samford @ Western Carolina Samford has a decent running game and they play tough on D. WCU is not too good
Wofford @ GSU GSU has a good D and they held TO Navy to under 200 yards total offense and 13 points. Low scoring game, but a good one. GSU by 3



Also to App Fans, I'm really excited for Saturday. I get to make my first trip to the Rock.

I'm jealous - hopefully you're made to feel welcome and find out why we love the KBS gameday experience.

Have a great time at the game. Hopefully you will witness a record crowd on a beautiful day at The Rock. MIght see Riddle throw the ball 50+ times in this one. I just hope he completes about 4 of them to the guys wearing the black jerseys!

[T-Dog]

Howard @ Furman - FU by many.
Chatty @ El Cid - El Cit makes a good run, but Chatty pulls it out.
Elon @ ASU - NP
Samford @ Western Carolina - WCU with the big home win.
Wofford @ GSU - Too close to call so going with the home team.

Far be it for me to offer hope, but the Hillbillies have a strong history of throwing up big stinkers after an open date.

You might be onto something.

2009 - 20-7 W vs Samford (rain game, coming off 0-2 start)
2008 - 35-32 L @ JMU (21-0 lead at half)
2007 - 38-35 L vs GSU (30-game home streak snapped)
2006 - 45-28 W vs CCU (1st round of playoffs)
2005 - 34-31 L @ Furman (got revenge in semis)
2004 - BYE in final week after 30-27 loss @ WCU
2003 - 24-21 W vs Morehead State (ugh)
2002 - 36-28 W vs EKU, 14-13 L vs Maine (1st round playoffs)*
2001 - 8-6 W @ El Cit, 40-27 W vs W&M (1st round playoffs)*
2000 - 61-14 W vs El Cit.

*2001 and 2002 were 12-game years but App only played 11, hence the two byes.

Our recent form after bye weeks leaves much to be desired.

If he plays the way he has in every important game in his career, we will see 4 completions to guys in black jerseys. I just hope its a good game, and it stays relatively close.

Howard @ Furman
Chattanooga @ Citadel
Elon @ ASU It will be a nail-biter.... Then the clock will hit 10:00 in Quarter 1 and the nail biting will cease
Samford @ Western Carolina. I said last week WCU wouldn't win another game this year, I can't change that just because they won last week!
Wofford @ GSU Toss up for me. Home team with the edge.

Also to App Fans, I'm really excited for Saturday. I get to make my first trip to the Rock.

Welcome! It ought to be fun at the Rock on Saturday. 30k+ of my closest friends are expected. And, talk about good weather, this may be the most perfect weather EVER at a football game in Boone. If you come to the Greenwood lot (on the hill behind the stadium), come to spot 242. Would be delighted to host Elon fans. Not sure what we will have on the grill, but you'd be welcome.

How is tailgating up at Greenwood this year? I know it has sucked since they implemented the lottery the past couple of years. Although I've only been up there in less than ideal weather.
