FB: Middle Atlantic Conference

I decided it would be interesting to compile a season resume for each team within the conference to better compare how each team fairs against their peers. I'll try to update these each week and I'll start with the bottom team working my way up. I'll post about three team resumes each day starting on Monday. Now onto the team resumes!

Week Nine Predictions:

Albright - 40     FDU (Home) - 20      Last week's narrow victory against a winless and hapless Wilkes squad shows that Albright is in a funk. The funk clears against a team with no running game and very little defense
LebVal (Home) - 27    Lycosimba - 23     Which LebVal team shows up? The team that beat Stevenson or the team with 10 yards in the first half against DelVal? I believe the former.
Stevenson - 48     Wilkes (Home) - 13     Stevenson takes it's frustration out on winless Wilkes. I still can't believe what I saw last week with four shots from the 2 against Widener. Mind boggling!

Widenerbman (Home) - 41     King's - 13     Widenerbman will destroy King's similar to how DelVal did a couple of weeks ago........setting up next week's showdown, with massive revenge for last year!

DelVal - 37     Les Miserables (Home) - 13     This is over at the half. DelVal plays it's 2nd and 3rd teams and Les Miz scores two meaningless TD's.

Other:
Eagles - 20     Broncos - 17     Is this the game that losing the best LT (Peters) over the past decade gets the Eagles? Possibly.........but that's why they play the game. The Broncos are the desperate team.

- Lycosimba is still MIA
- Ben Simmons over Lonzo Ball. Not close. All day every day.

- News of a 12th MAC football team may be coming as early as the Spring, possibly the Fall..........................if not by this time next year, it may not happen for quite some time!

TWeis
Great analysis!  +k
I will say that I found it somewhat ironic (and telling), that Albrights worst loss was Stevenson, and that Wideners best win was Stevenson...that says a lot obout who Widener has beaten so far this year (excluding Stevenson)...

My predictions (format stolen from your post)...

Week 10 Predictions

Albright (-14.5) @ FDU: Albright wins by 28

Stevenson (-25.5) @ Wilkes: Stevenson wins by 35

#5 Del Val (-42.5) @ Misericordia: Del Val wins by 35 (they show mercy) 

Lycoming @ Leb Val (-2.5): Leb Val by 10

King's @ Widener (-10.5): Widener by 7

Eagles 35  Denver 17

And Random game of the week

Centre (-14) @ Sewanee    Centre by 21

- Ben Simmons over Lonzo Ball. Not close. All day every day.

I think every team will focus on making Lonzo's NBA life harder because of his despicable father

I don't think his father is despicable, but I do think due to their family marketing strategy, other players are determined to shut him down. He has basically marketed his sons into stardom regardless if they make it to be in the Hall of Fame of basketball. One thing I know, he has invested so much into them. I do believe its a point where you have to allow you son's to become men and you just need to sit back and appreciate what you have done as a father in the background.

It is not a "family marketing strategy"........it is a "LaVar Ball marketing strategy"............and now LaVar might just have somebody "on the inside" (get it?) in China for the next decade. I hope that it wasn't done to give that dreadful reality show some much needed juice before it's inevitable death!!
