I find it funny now when I go to make picks/predictions how much the balance of power has shifted over the years. 4-5 years ago it was Westfield and Worcester in the bogan. Now those two teams have nose dived and Fitchburg was the team the two previous years and they've dropped this year off the map as well. Bridgewater has reemerge and WNEC I believe is the new Fitchburg. WNEC is getting better and better each year (humm, maybe a full time coaching staff could be the reason?).  UMD use to be the team to beat with Curry in the boyd but UMD now seems drained and EC is the new beast. My hats off to a team like Curry. They can keep it very consistent year after year.

One other thing, if a team such as Coast Guard can come into the nefc and win the division but go 1-9 in their previous league, that shows something. I doubt they've got that much better or maybe it's the competition they are playing now? Does this make sense to anyone else? Good luck this week to all the teams.-Cheers

MME over MMA
Nichols over Plymouth State-just because
Westfield over Framingham-if westfield loses this one, *&^%$#%^&*!
Worcester State over Fitchburg-this use to be a good game
UMD over Salve
WNEC over MIT-WNEC is the new fitchburg, give them a couple years.
BSC over Coast Guard-even though I picked CG to win division, BSC's D, good!
Curry over EC- to be the champ, you have to first beat the champs.

Maine Maritime over Worcester
Nichols over Salve Regina
WNEC over UMass Dartmouth
Endicott over Plymouth
Mass Maritime over Westfield
Bridgewater over Framingham
Curry over MIT
Coast Guard over Fitchburg- Coast Guard wins the division

Anyone watch the ending of the BSC and FSC game? I can summarize for you quick; 15-8 BSC w/ 1 minute to go, FSC has ball on BSC 12ish (inside twenty), 3rd and 1, FSC gets the first down and goes into "clock it position," qb gets the ball and spikes it, refs call it a fumble, BSC jumps on it, game over.  I think the refs took the game from the players. Would have been an exciting ending. Well worth the price of the ticket and travel.
Side note: I'm a BSC fan but what the team did before the game was unsportsman like to say the least. The players were running over to, basically the FSC 40, taunting the falcon players during warmups. I hope the BSC coaching staff can get a better handle on their players. I know the emotions were high after last season's games and I expected both sides to be fired up but that was uncalled for. Still no flag though while the refs just watched. Guess it isn't no penality till you get a flag.

Worcester over Framingham
UMass Dartmouth over MIT
Maine Maritime over Westfield
Endicott over Nichols
Plymouth over WNEC
Coast Guard over Mass
Curry over Salve Regina

GOW: Bridgewater romps Fitchburg 35-7, FSC has no offense.

[Sometimes the clock operator messes up before that 1 second and the refs have to keep the time on the field for the last few plays because the clock operator is unable to reset a specific time like 1 sec or something.  Im not saying that is what happened but its very possible in an NEFC game

Exactly, sounds similour to the the bridgewater/fsc game last year. Officials don't just guess and estimated time remaining in a game if an event like the main board goes off.  The time should still be kept on the field and if it isn't, shame on the NEFC, not the home team.

Endicott over Salve
WNEC over Curry
Nichols over MIT
Fitchburg over Framingham

My bad, my perdiction was off by one point on the curry vs. fsc game. FSC, no offense at all, close game till 10 or so left in the forth.

Nichols over framingham
Bridgewater over UMD
WPI over Worcester
RPI over endicott
MIT over MA Maritime
Mount Ida over Plymouth

Game of the week:
   Curry defeats FSC easily by 20 at home where FSC can't win.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL OUR NEFC TEAMS TOMORROW!!! -Cheers.

Saxon73- Save your gas money, should be a blow out unfortunaly. Looking at Deleware's roster, they dont have "big" fb players for say. If curry could win the battle at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, maybe they could make things interesting. I dont see them coming out with the nefc's first win though
Curry 14 DSU 28

As far as coach of the year goes, Maine's HC deserved it. That team was nothing the last few years and in one single season turned it around to finish 3rd in the division beating Wrocester St. As far as the game this weekend between bsc and fsc, I dont know if fsc can over come such an emotional loss as they suffered last week. Last season they seemed to pack it in after the nefc championship loss to curry and getting spanked by springfield. I'm hoping they will not do it again. I attended the first fsc bridewater game this year and fsc really had a hard time running until key defensive players for bsc went down But, bsc's offense didn't show up to the game either until 10mins to go in the game. On the field note, I went to the fsc v. wsc game at fsc (live close by) and their new facility is nice! Field is beautiful, seating is limited, we were crammed in there, but once they get the landscaping done it will be the best facility in the nefc.
Predictions:
Maine 14  Alfred 42- Maine is just over powered in this one.
FSC 17 BSC 21- FSC is 0-1 in rematches this year, bsc is hungry for revenge, also I hope FSC's kicking game shows up, 0-12 on fg and 22-32 on pats this year! HORRIBLE.
