WLC big over Rockford

Lakeland over CUC

CUW over AU- AU always has the ability to sneak up on someone, but I don't see it happening. CUW locks up the AQ with a win this weekend.

BU big over Maranatha

[RFMichigan]

WLC at Rockford - Not enough defense for Rockford
Aurora at CUW - Too many weapons for CUW
CUC at Lakeland - Not nearly enough defense for CUC. Lakeland's playing pretty well this year from what I can gather.
Benedictine at Maranatha - BU gets an enjoyable drive through the Wisconsin countryside as well as a blowout win.

[Captain_Joe08]

Aurora at CUW: Too many offensive threats for the Spartans to account for.

CUC at Lakeland: Lakeland has surprised many with their nice season.

Benedictine at Marantha: Another blowout for the Crusaders is in store.

WLC at Rockford: This is the most played series for both schools but however it has become increasing one-sided as WLC has won five in a row. WLC's secondary may get a workout from the Rockford QB but the Regents lack defense and at the end of the day WLC makes it six in a row over Rockford in a blowout.

Final

Lakeland led 55-0 at halftime.

Benedictine 55
Maranatha 13

Again nothing to see here.

Concordia Wisconsin 49
Aurora 41

Final

Concordia Wisconsin clinches a share of the NACC crown and has clinched the auto-bid to the postseason. Though they can click on offense, their defense has shown some cause for concern lately.

Wisconsin Lutheran 27
Rockford 12

Final

The Good: WLC held Rockford to 4/14 on third downs and 44 yards rushing while getting 536 yards of total offense. Donovain Tucker rushed for 175 yards and 2 TD's while Mike Reeves tied the school mark for TD's in a season. Dyrssen threw for 276 yards on the day as well. Only needed to punt twice all game.

The Bad: While only punting twice all game it was marred by penalties. WLC was hit with 11 penalties for 110 yards. Grams had another kick block bringing his season total to 2/7 in field goal kicking. He hasn't made a field goal since week two. The offensive statistics were nice but they could not finish drives. Can't be leaving points on the field.

The Ugly: WLC turned the ball over five times (Rockford wasn't much better coughing up the ball four times).

Regular Season Finale

Rockford at Aurora: Aurora's season ends on a high note while Rockford's ends with a winless NACC campaign.

Lakeland at Benedictine: Ground game provides the difference here.

Concordia Wisconsin at Wisconsin Lutheran: I selected CUW but recently they have been giving up over 30 points per game over the last four games. I would love to see WLC deny them an undefeated NACC record but I question if they can get their offense in gear and hold onto the ball.

Concordia Chicago at Maranatha: CUC ends a tough season with a win.

Concordia Wisconsin heads to UW-Platteville in round one.

[Captain_Joe08]

Kinda surprised they weren't shipped to Whitewater or North Central but they have a tall task in getting that elusive first playoff win for the NACC.

[Captain_Joe08]

Prediction:

UW-Platteville over Concordia Wisconsin: CUW can certainly put up the points but the defense is very much suspect especially in the last few games. I think Platteville puts this one away after halftime.

[RFMichigan]

Well, good luck to CUW. Hope they represent well and bring home the first playoff win for the conference.

However . . . CUW's defense (or lack thereof) is probably the difference maker in this game. They've just allowed too many points.

[Captain_Joe08]

As expected CUW fell to UW-Platteville 54-20. The Falcons finish their season at 8-3 (6-0) in conference.
