[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Obviously i have a lot of interest in the Temple-Nova game. TU bias aside the Owls are the favorite heading into this game. Both teams face question marks but Temples are fewer. If this game was in Mid October i would be a lot more worried. As it is i think Temple slugs out a 2 TD win.

As for Toledo and UNH, the Rockets are the preseason favorite to win the MAC. They return 19 starters and are poised for a very good season. They did take some lumps last year along the way to a 8-5 finish. But given the returning talent and stability within the coaching staff Toledo figures to be a very solid FBS team. Someone on ESPN was even saying that people are overlooking Boise State's trip to the Glass Bowl.

CAA will pick up at least one FBS win, best shot is probably Navy.

I'd go

JMU vs UNC: UNC is a mess right now
Willam & Mary vs Virginia: The Tribe seem to have the horses this year
Delaware vs Navy: Both teams have to replace key players, Navy probabaly a little deeper
Villanova vs Temple: Rivalry game, both are going through a bit of a transition period
Richmond vs Duke: coaching change causes me to rethink this one
UNH vs Toledo: The Rockets will be much better than most FCS'ers think.
URI vs Syracuse: The Orange should take another step in the right direction this year

[CAA Flagship]

Why is the URI-Syracuse game listed in the Week #1 list? Shouldn't Sept. 10 games be listed in Week #2?

A little early on the week one picks. Usually someone starts a thread on them the Mon, Tues, or Wed the week of the games.

Too early for predictions. Over a week out too many things can happen, like star players getting injured, a coach getting fired, etc.....

I'd say, ODU's starting RB is out 6-8 weeks with a cracked bone in his neck. However, its not completely devastating while he's definitely the most experienced RB on the team I don't think he's the best on the team. I think Crawford and Harper are better.

UMass @Holy Cross will also be nationally televised on the CBS Sports Network. Thursday night game.

The Morgan St vs Towson game is on Comcast sports net. By the way, Towson will romp in the game.
TU of MSU 42-14.
