RE: Week 8 CAA Prediction Thread
SBU @ Maine
SBU lost @ home last week vs Towson, coming off a bye week to boot. + again, no Stacy Bedell. And now they have to go to Orono. Maine, with 18ish starters slated to come back from a 5-6/4-4 team last year, were my dark horse pick in the CAA this year to make the playoffs. But doesn't look like it now. Played BC respectably, thought they would play Tulane & @ UR (who was coming off a bye) closer. Throttled Albany (that’s not saying much now). But the head scratcher is losing to Yale at home. Both of these Maine & SBU have relatively decent defenses with subpar ground and pound offenses. Me thinks da bears might pull the sleight upset in a low scoring slugfest.
RU @ JMU no explanation needed..
UNH @ UD
Do we get the UD who played VU (with Robertson) close, was only down by 3 at the half to UNC, & beat W&M? Or the one that was embarrassed by Jacksonville & URI? UD isn’t a playoff team, but UNH doesn’t look like one either. Any team with a good running game (SJSU, SBU with Bedell, W&M) has absolutely manhandled them (they're 11th in CAA against the run, only ahead of Elon), & UD has a good run game (2nd in CAA behind JMU).
+ it’s UNH’s 2nd straight week on the road.
+ UD is coming off of a bye week.
+UNH QB Goldrich not 100% as evidenced last week vs W&M (ankle, couldn't run very well, 15-30 passing, 0 TD, 2 INT).
So going with the upset here..
Hampton @ W&M
W&M’s All American LB Luke Rhodes (Sprained knee vs UNH ) out, won’t matter..blowout.
VU @ TU (7:00, ASN) Like SBU/Maine (and maybe UD/UNH), should be another relatively evenly matched game. Surprised VU is favored on the road. Their 2nd straight week on the road. Sure they blew out Albany last week, but that isn’t saying much now, as Albany has absolutely got destroyed by everyone since halftime vs JMU a month ago..And TU did win on the road last week @ SBU...
Home team sweep..
