CAA Week 3 Prediction Thread

[BDKJMU]

9 games on tap with 2 games between CAA teams. I don’t see a single tossup game in here. Most look to be lopsided and/or blowouts.

W&M (0-2) @ Towson (0-1) (noon, NBC Sports Network) CAA game of the week. I'll even go with a score prediction for this one: TU 27, W&M 13. TU’s strong offense vs W&M’s strong defense. W&M’s weak offense vs TU’s maybe mediocre defense (jury still out). TU has had a bye week and are at home. Yeah, TU lost @ Kent State 41-21 in their only game so far, but remember, TU had 6 turnovers, most leading to Kent State scores + they allowed Kent 2 long kick returns, including one for a TD.
W&M so far:
L @ UMD 7-6
L Lafayette 17-14

CCSU (0-2) @ UNH (1-1) (noon). UNH wins comfortably in their home opener.
UNH so far:
W @ Holy Cross 38-17
L @ Minnesota 44-7 (remember UNH got blown out @ Toledo last yr in their opener and still made the playoffs)
CCSU so far:
L @ Stony Brook 49-17
L Lehigh 35-14

Maine (0-1) @ Bryant (0-2) (1:00 p.m) Maine wins in a blowout.
Maine lost their opener last week @ BC 31-3
Bryant so far:
L Marist 35-10 (getting handled by a non scholly Pioneer at home tells you Bryant really must suck)
L @ Saint Francis 39-28 (which again tells you Bryant must really suck)

UR (1-1) @ VMI (1-1) (1:30 p.m) UR wins comfortably, maybe blowout. I don’t know how the Big South coaches predicted it, but Steele had G Webb picked to finish 3rd in the Big South, and VMI last at 7th, and UR just blew out G Webb.
UR so far:
L @ UVGay 43-19
W Gardner Webb 41-8
VMI so far:
L @ Del State 17-10
W Chowan 24-17

Bucknell (1-0) @ UD (2-0) (3:30 p.m) UD wins comfortably.
UD so far:
W West Chester 41-21
W Del State 38-14
Bucknell beat non scholly NEC Marist in their opener last week 19-17

URI (0-1) @ Villanova (1-1) (3:30 p.m, Comcast Sportsnet Regional ) Villanova wins in a blowout.
URI got embarrassed in their opener last week @ Monmouth 41-6.
Villanova so far:
L @ Temple 41-10
W Fordham 28-13

JMU (2-0) vs WVU (1-0) @ Fed Ex Field (4:30 p.m.) 48-20.
JMU so far:
W St Francis 55-7
W Alcorn State 42-3
WVU so far:
W Marshall 69-34

UTSA @ GST (0-2) (6:00 p.m) UTSA wins comfortably.
GST so far:
L SC State 33-6
L @ Tenn 51-13
UTSA so far
W USA 33-21
W TX A&M Commerce 27-16

Cambell (2-0) @ ODU (2-0): ODU wins in a blowout.
ODU so far:
W Duquesne 57-23
W @ Hampton 45-7
Cambell so far:
L Shorter 31-20
W VA Wise 10-0

Did you forget the odu game or is the predicted outcome too easy to include?

I did my predictions on word & then copied & pasted. Accidently left off the UTSA @ GST and Cambell @ ODU. Fixed it.

Yeah, but no one cares about the GST game.

Why is ODU still playing Campbell? They should have dropped this game and scheduled one of their new C-USA members in its place.

Personally, I hate this game. To answer your question, we announced our move in May. Not easy to get a CUSA team to drop a game on their schedule to pick us up. Plus we have two years of transition to prepare for those types of games.

This is year 4 of a 4 year deal (or year 4 of two 2 year deals). This was supposed to be played at Campbell but we bought them out to get another home game, so it ended up being 3 at home and 1 at Campbell. Yeah, this game will be no contest. I looking for us to have 35 at the half and cruise home from there.

UNH on the horizon.

GA St (3rd yr team) lost to an established FCS and a veteran FBS team while UTSA beat (just barely) another transitioning to FBS (3rd yr) team and a DII. I'd call it a wash.

[DJnVa]

Why is ODU still playing Campbell? They should have dropped this game and scheduled one of their new C-USA members in its place.

So, they should have dropped this game a few months ago then got an FBS team to agree to come to Norfolk?

Yeah.

God damn I'm good!

Not only perfect in Ws but damn close on scores, except for UD oddly enough.

Pretty impressive this week.

I thought JMU would win going away.... guess I was read the wrong board.

How was JMU supposed to beat this team? They have these two players who can levitate four feet in the air. Unfair really.



I mean, look at #32 Davis on JMU. He's all "this is some bullshit! They can levitate!!!"

UR 21 VMI 10 (47-6) Meh
UD 38 Bucknell 10 (19-3) Meh
ODU 55 Campbell 10 (70-14) Nobody in their right mind predicts above 55.
WVU 27 JMU 16 (42-12) Meh. I had higher hopes for the JMU defense.
