Games that peak my interest are:
Tulane @ Memphis
SMU @ ECU
--Can the bye week save ECU's season?
With the results from Saturday, UAB @ UTSA could be interesting.
I'm going to have to go with 'Bye' over Rice this weekend.
Thursday 10/12
SMU @ ECU ESPN
Friday 10/13
Tulane @ Memphis
Saturday 10/14
Temple @ UNT ESPNU
Navy @ Charlotte ESPN+
FAU @ USF ESPN2
UAB @ UTSA ESPNU
Some good games this week:
SMU - If they can get offense clicking, win by 2 scores
Tulane - If Pratt is 100%, they should prevail in a great game
UNT - Bit of a pillow fight
Navy - While Charlotte has some nice pieces, don't think they have enough
FAU - USF defense shredded last week, but should be close game
UTSA - If Harris is 100%, they win

SMU @ ECU ESPN
MY LINE: ECU 31-30 ECU rides the blackout mojo and bye week to a narrow home victory. I kept it close, because SMU has been able to score, but the bye week should allow ECU to get its offense right in preparation.
Friday 10/13
Tulane @ Memphis
MY LINE: Memphis 33-31 I think Memphis has played an arguably tougher schedule so far and thus with both sitting at 4-1, I think Memphis has a better looking 4-1.
Saturday 10/14
Temple @ UNT ESPNU
MY LINE: UNT 27-24 Two teams having a rough start, but I think UNT should be able to get the home win.
Navy @ Charlotte ESPN+
MY LINE: Navy 31-20 Navy should not lose this one.
FAU @ USF ESPN2
MY LINE: USF 33-27 I just don't know if FAU is back to being good and I don't think last week's UAB loss by USF is indicative of where they are right now.
UAB @ UTSA ESPNU
MY LINE: UAB 41-34 UTSA is still struggling. UAB had an offensive explosion last week. The truth is somewhere in the middle here I think.
Blackened is the air...

Since you picked us, I pray this week will be more favorable to you.

Harris is still not 100%. It was clear to me in the Temple game that he's still not as mobile as he was last year.

Call me crazy but I think even if he were 100% this game is still a 50/50 close game. These teams are very alike.

I'll be watching your game tonight, cheering for the Pirates. I "officially" picked SMU, but my heart is all purple for this one.
Thursday 10/12
SMU @ ECU ESPN
Just got back from vacation so obviously I cannot post my SMU/ECU pick. I probably woud have chosen the Ponies by substantial margin.
But here are my other choices for this weekend's slate of games:
Friday 10/13
Tulane @ Memphis TIGERS in a close game. Possible preview of the AACCG.
Saturday 10/14
Temple @ UNT ESPNU UNT rolls at home.
Navy @ Charlotte ESPN+ Mids take the road victory.
FAU @ USF ESPN2 The Bulls in a romp.
UAB @ UTSA ESPNU The home team takes the V in a good game.
Friday 10/13
Tulane @ Memphis
Saturday 10/14
Temple @ UNT
Navy @ Charlotte
FAU @ USF
UAB @ UTSA
Starting out 0-2.... SMH....
I should have picked SMU the way ECU has been playing on offense, but I really did think the bye week would get ECU right.

REALITY SAID: SMU 31-10 Pirate offense lets us down again.
0-1

MY LINE: Memphis 33-31 I think Memphis has played an arguably tougher schedule so far and thus with both sitting at 4-1, I think Memphis has a better looking 4-1.
REALITY SAID: Tulane 31-21 Tulane showed up better than I thought. I can't say I am super surprised they won.
0-2
Saturday 10/14
Temple @ UNT ESPNU
MY LINE: UNT 27-24 Two teams having a rough start, but I think UNT should be able to get the home win.
REALITY SAID: UNT 45-14 Wow, I was super off on the score. I guess Temple is that bad and UNT is actually better.
1-2
Navy @ Charlotte ESPN+
MY LINE: Navy 31-20 Navy should not lose this one.
REALITY SAID: Navy 14-0 Navy...dominates? I can't believe only 14 points got put up in this game in total.
2-2
FAU @ USF ESPN2
MY LINE: USF 33-27 I just don't know if FAU is back to being good and I don't think last week's UAB loss by USF is indicative of where they are right now.
REALITY SAID: FAU 56-14 Am I surprised FAU won? No. Am I surprised it was a blowout of this magnitude? YES.
2-3
UAB @ UTSA ESPNU
MY LINE: UAB 41-34 UTSA is still struggling. UAB had an offensive explosion last week. The truth is somewhere in the middle here I think.
REALITY SAID: UTSA 41-20 Wow. Another lopsided one. Maybe UTSA is back?
2-4
Blackened is the air...
Uggh.... I need to rethink my strategy; it has been a rough two weeks on picks.
