This weeks games:

CUC @ CUW--- This game is going to be close but I'll go CUC

LC @ MBBC--- This one is going to be interesting. LC has obviously given up on the season. They will win but it's going to be closer then it should be.

RC @ BU--- RC is not good rnough to win here but they do score again this week. Let's hope it isn't bad call that they score on like last week.

This weeks game of the week....

WLC @ AU---- This is a game that matters so much to WLC. AU has no chance to win conference unless RC pulls off a MOMUMENTAL upset. AU has to score in the redzone to win. They will...AU in another close game.

This weeks Picks--3 of 4 games shouldn't even be close

AU--- RC is in trouble if they have to start a wr at qb. AU needs to win and stay healthy this week.

BU-- last week proved to me that what I heard about LC is true. This is going to be real ugly.

WLC-- I was leaning towards CUW but WLC is the ONLY team that controls it's own fate to catch BU because they play both AU and BU. They have to win out; if they do, they win conference.

CUC-- This is going to be real ugly as well

Sorry, I didn't post after the last couple of AU games but been supper busy. AU and CUW was an exciting game to say the least. Both teams had untimely turnovers andthen had guys who stepped up big time when needed. It was a hard hitting, rough and tumble contest. AU seems to still be having some problems in all phases of the game even in week 7.

This week guesses:

AU- Closer then you may think

BU- MBBC never quits but they just aren't good enough yet.

CUC- Rumor has it that the LC team is in total disarray.

WLC- Sorry RC ...Not this year either.

This weeks picks:

AU over MBB--For some reason, I feel a statement game coming on here.

CUC over RC-- see above!!!!

WLC over LC-- This one is going to be real close. I would have taken LC if they were playing in Sheboygan

BU over CUW--- I would love to pick CUW here but I just can't bring myself to do it. BU showed alot last week at AU and they are better then most thought they were.

Congrats to BU for their win today. They capitalized on AU mistakes and won. BU has a great O but their D isn't a stout defense. BU took the short field that AU gave them with turnovers and did what a team is suppose to do, they scored!!! NO TEAM can turn the ball over 4 straight times and win.  BU took the AU mistakes, scored and won the game.

This weeks picks:

AU

CUW

LC

WLC

Saw AU play Lakeland yesterday. This game was interesting to say the least. I said in my predictions that if AU could run the ball, it could get ugly. AU couldn't run the ball very well at all. The Muskies turned the ball 7 times and you just are not going to win turning it over like that on the road. AU's defense is as good as advertised. This d is very good this year but the AU offense must improve. This week's game is going to be interesting....BU has a good offense and AU has a stout defense!! This game is going to be very fun to watch!!

This weeks games:

RC @ CUW---RC is improving and they will surprise someone soon....This is NOT the week...CUW  35-9

WLC @ MBB----WLC is the most underrated team in the conference....WLC 42-6

LC @ AU----This game is going to come down to if LC can stop AU's offense. If AU can run the ball, I would say  that this could get ugly. LC is going to have a tough time scoring on AU's d. AU wins 28-7

CUC @ BU---- I watched the BU game last week on the video feed...BU can score but do they have enough playmakers to stay with CUC?? No!! This game is either going to be a real close win for BU or a CUC blowout...Since everyone else seems to think it's gonna be close..I'll take the blowout...CUC 42-14

Although they are nationally ranked and 3-0, is anyone else getting as concerned as I am about the Titans?

They soundly beat a very bad Alma team (but still yielded 2 TDs), but barely beat sub-par (i.e., 7th at best in the CCIW) teams from Hope and Aurora.  Unlike last year, PATs have become routine (making 10 or 11), but have still not even attempted a FG.  (I doubt there has never been an occasion calling for a FG, so I assume Eash still has little confidence in his kicking game.)

Perhaps I just have a (green) blood-clot on the brain, but I fear they may be much closer to Kickoff's #63 than to their current ranking of #24.  (I'm sure this post will bring great joy to the Norm-haters on the board, but can anyone lift my spirits?! )

After watching today's game, I will say that IWU is a good team with great discipline. I think you may be underestimating the AU team. AU is no where near as bad as many thought they would be. I won't say that IWU are going to run the table in the CCIW, but they deserve their rank. AU is much better then anyone thought and may surprise in the NAC

Old 40 nailed it. AU played a great game. To say that AU came up just short would be an understatement. IWU is a good team and AU proved they could play with anyone. If IWU is the 24th ranked team in D3, then the NAC is going to surprise a lot of people the rest of the year. AU played with them, out gained them, out played them and outhit them. IWU won on the scoreboard and deserve all the praise. But that AU team just let everyone know that AU is going to be no cupcake the rest of the year!!!

Went to the AU vs MacMurray game. AU took advantage early, jumping out to a quick 28-0 lead early in the 2nd qtr and never looked back. MacMurray got increasingly upset as the game went on and you can kinda guess what happened from there. AU dominated on both sides of the ball versus a young, undermanned opponent. Looking forward to seeing how AU does versus IWU this weekend. It should be a good guage on this AU team. I would expect a contest that may well be closer then most would think.

All this talk of the triple option and lack of passing from NPU makes me wonder if I stumbled on a CCIW board by mistake??

Anyway, anybody got any predictions for this weeks games??
