That's some mighty fine shooting there Tex.
Thank you. I hate to gloat.
Like, I wouldn't mention I'm still tied for the lead in the GoHens spread pool or anything.
Who is Doowop? That fucker needs to pick a couple of bad ones so I can take my rightful place.

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
Only one on here who went 9-0 with picks!
Week 1: 7-2 (missed on TU/Kent State and GST/SC State
Week 2: 9-1 (missed on W@M/Lafayette

Not only perfect in Ws but damn close on scores, except for UD oddly enough.
No. You missed on the GST game. I'm the only one who got that game right.
I went 9-0. About 5 people went 8-0. A couple went 7-1.
My picks were way better than yours. Suck it.
Maybe get a set of balls next week and pick the scores instead of "team xxx wins in a blowout". Yes, anyone could pick the blowouts this week. Make an actual score prediction numbnuts. The two games you did predict scores for, I predicted closer.

Agreed. Picking a squeaker and then having it be a blowout = WRONG.

Picking exact scores is retarded, esp early in the season for CAA vs OOC, where you haven't seen & don't know much about the OOC team, and might not even have seen the CAA team yet. Unless you are studying stats and injury reports for every team involved, and have seen them play, you have about a 1 in a thousand chance of getting the exact score right. And don't give me this you were close with some this past weekend. Close only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades.
Your prediction record tally at the end of the season doesn't count how close you were on score predictions. Its simply a tally of how many you got right and wrong.
So far I am 25-3.

Either way, I can eat 50 eggs.
Uh, I didn't pick any squeakers that turned out to be blowouts or vice versa. The only one I picked to be relatively close was TU/W&M, and that was the only one that was close. The rest I predicted to be lopsided, and they all were. Well, maybe except for UD/Bucknell.

Try going to Vegas and betting games straight up. After the bookie pisses himself and falls over laughing, he's going to ask if you want to play the lines.
Right now, I'm 43-22 against the spread in games played by FCS Top 25 teams this season. This puts me in the co-lead with Doowopper (who is that guy anyway to be tied with me, the gawdamn genius?) on GoHens.
For grins and giggles, I play in the kiddie pool too, where I went 18-2 in straight up games. I missed on The Citadel and Cal Poly.

Predicting a line is a lot different than trying to predict an exact score. But to make you happy, that's what I'll do.

Nevermind me. I'm just a loudmouthed punk. Keep on doing whatever you were doing.
You Row D guys need to get off your high horse....
Hold the heck up.
Row D?????
Who in their right mind sits in Row D in a stadium that has plenty of higher seats available? Row D can't possibly be a good angle to watch a football game. Do you have a clue where the ball is near the end zones?
Please splain yourself Lucy.

Dad. Bad knees. Used to be in JJ same section. That's row 36.

Vegas makes the rules, if you could bet straight up, you would. Also, these aren't betting lines. You can bet your arse that the spread on gohens would be a LOT differnt if it were based on wagers moving the line. Laying 20 points and winning by 19 =
I mean, we're not arguing that picking the straight up games isn't easier than the spread are we? That much is obvious. There's a reason the pick 'em winners go about 23-2 each week while the spread pool winner goes about 16-9 each week. That's because it's harder to pick the spread.
Seriously, I don't get why you bring this up every year. Picking straight up games is something my 7 year old could do reasonably well. "Hmmm, dad. That team is 3-0 and wins national championships. That team is 1-2 and plays in a division with less scholarships. I bet the first team wins." "Yes son, very good."

Picking the spread is harder, but is completely arbitrary. Like I said, a team favored by 20 wins by 19 and you're "wrong".

Eh, by the time you're up to rows H, I, or J you have plenty of angle to watch a game, assuming row A starts high enough. Sure, you can be all the way at the top of a stadium, but if you're in a stadium with enough of a pitch (like UD has) by the time you're 10 rows up you can see everything just fine.

Not to mention, as evidenced in my picture, the first row at Delaware Stadium is elevated over the players and is as close to the field as anywhere (no track or other BS, not even a rounded profile like a lot of newer NFL stadiums). Then there are two sections deep of field boxes before row A even starts. I love my seats, and I'm glad my dad doesn't have to limp for two days after getting to them, like he did when we were in JJ. Plus, it takes FOREVER to get out of the stands at the end of the game if you are up high. Egress is not a strong point of DelStad.
There really aren't many bad seats in Delaware Stadium. Given my choice, I'd rather not be low in the end sections, but even those aren't horrible. My first choice would be Section D for games above 60 degrees and Section K for games below 60 degrees, Row Tish.
I sit in Row T in our house. It's probably about 10 rows higher than I would like but my back is leaning on the press box. That added bonus made it worth going higher.
off by one TD; exact score for WM
off by five points; exact score for CCSU
little low on Richmond
way too much scoring predicted
oh yeah, exact score for ODU, off by one point
