Well I finally got to plant my ass in a chair with a legit keyboard to type up my predictions! Bad news is i'm in the middle of an all nighter and I can't think worth **** ... which is why I don't even know how well or bad i did last week... I know I was wrong about App atleast
Anyways lets get this rolling... a Humble Mountaineer's Predictions!

Future Sun Belt

12:30 P.M. EST Saturday November 9th, ESPN3 and ESPN Game-plan as well as the local Athens ABC affiliate or something along those lines.
Appalachian State University Mountaineers
Vs.
University of Georgia Bulldogs: Georgia win. Don't get me wrong, I love my team I really do... but with no doubt we lose, and it isn't pretty. Shocking, right? Atleast some people will get to see our sweet new uniforms and some SBC fans that didn't watch the game against Geo South will get to see us in all our sad down year glory!

2:00 P.M. EST
Georgia Southern University Eagles
vs.
Western Carolina University Catamounts: Geo South win. Now, Geo South is on a down year just like us. We both look like complete crap. But WCU doesn't just look like crap, it looks and is your local conference sewage treatment plant. I would be incredibly shocked by a loss Geo South should roll on pretty easy.

3:30 P.M. EST ESPN3
New Mexico State University Aggies
vs.
Boston College Eagles: Boston College win. Pretty obvious here, New Mexico is crap and Boston College is actually slightly better then I expected... even if Boston was as bad as I expected... they would destroy NMSU so another great game >.>

5:00 P.M. EST
University of Idaho Vandals
vs.
Old Dominion University Monarchs: ODU win. I hate ODU to be honest, I don't know why, but I always have. Either way they win, they are the better team with little reference needed to be made towards really anything. I don't think it will be quite as much of a blowout as some may though... which would be nice to see.

Current Sun Belt

Thursday 7:30 P.M. EST ESPNU
Troy University Trojans
vs
University of Louisiana at Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns: ULL win. I think this is ULL's year to shine. They have continued to impress me and while I am fond of Troy for some reason I have a good feeling I'm choosing the right team here. Hopefully ULL will not make yet another conference foe look sad.

Saturday 12:00 P.M. EST CBS Sports Network
Western Kentucky University Hilltoppers
vs
Army Black Knights: WKU win. Unlike the seething hatred that seems to be coming from every Sun Belt team's players over WKU leaving their conference Army won't have that motivation... This is a good opportunity for WKU to get another W and i'm sure its players are hungry for a W.

7:00 P.M. EST ESPN3
Arkansas State University Red Wolves
vs.
University of Louisiana at Monroe Warhawks: ULM win. This one was the hardest by far this week, both teams have been relatively good, one of the biggest factors for me was the in conference wins. One team won by good margins, the other, not so much. As well ULMs' win over Wake Forest still gives me a lot of respect for them, only blemish on their record for me is the loss to Tulane but I should let bygones be bygones. Arkansas State seems to have lost itself for a little while, seems to be getting back on the right page but i'm not certain they are there just yet. I think it will be a tight win for ULM to say the least.

I think you miss on Idaho and stAte.

ULM has issues up front. stAte should control the LOS, which should give them a W here.

Idaho is not as bad as you think, and ODU is probably not as good as you think. No real knowledge about them by me, either, just a hunch that Idaho wins.

Idaho is not as bad as you think, and ODU is probably not as good as you think. No real knowledge about them by me, either, just a hunch that Idaho wins.

Idaho still loses in my book, looking at their record and more specifically why ODU is positive, i have determined that it will be closer then i first thought.

Idaho has to have a pretty strong secondary if they want to win on Saturday. Heinicke is a stud and has plenty of targets to go after. Start spreading the field and he'll hurt you with his legs as well

Idaho can beat ODU. Vandals have looked decent at times this year and are at home. Monarchs have been off and on at different points and also do not have a postseason to look forward to. No trip to Idaho is easy for anyone.

The beauty of doing this weekly prediction post is the chance to find out how incorrect or correct I was, the people who are voting 1 or two games wrong may have been paying attention as i hardly ever get them all right and have never been wrong on more then three

I think we'll match up against Idaho pretty good. Thier defense and especially thier pass D seems pretty bad, which plays well for us. Our D is also bad but has shown some signs of life. We've got alot against us - a 2,000 mile trip, alot of injuries and playing in a dome (we've played GaSt in the GA dome but I imagine this will be different). As chiefsfan said we have been up and down this year, they certainly came out flat against some of our lesser compettion but hopefully they'll be up for this game, as this would be and is the best shot for our first FBS win. If Heinicke and our O are clicking then we're going to score alot of points and I'm not sure Idaho can keep up. If Heinicke starts making mistakes and the offense stalls it could be a long trip home.

If any Vandals are out there I"d be interested on your take.

I'm just glad we don't have to face Heinicke again. Especially with out pass defense this year

The triple option still makes our defense look like the Keystone Cops.
We beat the Citadel but barely 58-59
