MEAC - Week 9 Predictions
Posted: Tue Oct 27, 2009 11:45 am
Now were in the stretch run of the MEAC football season. Another major threat to SC State's road to the conference title fell by the wayside as the Hornets of Delaware State upset the Bears at their Homecoming in Dover last week. But now those same Hornets travel down to Orangeburg to face the Bulldogs this week. The task is easy for SCSU, win out and the title is yours, but if the Hornets do the "impossible"...then the last three weeks will be very interesting.
In other MEAC action, the Hampton Pirates travel to the no longer winless (but still D2 bound) WSSU Rams, the struggling Wildcats of Bethune-Cookman look to get back on track against North Carolina A&T in Greensboro, and the Bison of Howard look to pick up their first conference win against the offensive-minded Spartans of Norfolk State.
MEAC game of the week: FAMU @ MSU
Florida A&M, coming off of their bounce back game against Norfolk State, will travel up to Morgan State's home field as they look to seize control of 2nd place in the conference and hope for some help from their conference mates to snake in to the AQ, but the Rattlers will need the Bulldogs to lose twice or force a three way tie with themselves and Morgan to have a chance. The Bears however still have control of their destiny as they have a chance to still win the MEAC outright with their game with SC State upcoming in two weeks.
