 well I got 5 outta 8 , not so good .

[Findtheball]

 Man oh man

coast guard putting up 58 pts ..... OUCH

curry putting  up 52........ 30 some in the 2nd half ...... ouch

are the offenses this year that much better than last year or are the coaches just keeping the first string in all game . Maybe I'm wrong but it seems there are alot of points being put on the board this year . PSU had 49 last week.

I was very surprised to see the score of UMASS > WNEC , I really thought it would be a closer game or was it ? I didn't see it . Was JT his normal self or did WNEC have alot of penalties .

I did get to see the PSU > EC game though .  Alot of penalties against EC in the first half , PSU had alot in the second . On one drive EC only had 12 yard of thier own to march down the field and score . The rest were penalty yards . Crazy game . PSU looks real tough with the run . EC had alot of passes dropped , trying to play catch up.

Good game though.

It was a good week for those making their picks on here.  Here is how everyone did on their picks:

Boxer, In The Mix, Gr8Day2BaBear, 63Center were all 6-1.  Most had picked Worcester St. over MME.

Coach21 was 5-2

NoLineNoGlory was 4-3.  Off to a rough start or looking for some upsets.

Let's see how everyone does net week.

[Findtheball]

[63Center]

NoLineNoGlory,  you are right, I can't count any better than I can pick the teams.  So on a recount I come up with the following:

Gr8Day2BaBear 7-1 (congrats)

Gull Grad 6-2

In The Mix and 63Center 6-1

Coach21 5-2

NoLineNoGlory 5-3

Boxer 4-2

 Looking into next weeks games

This looks like a  tough week to pick

a lot of very even games if I don't say

then again the week after looks as intense.

It doesn't look like we'll hit the 100 page mark this week.

Everyone have a good week , look forward to this,  next weeks picks.

The Bridgewater vs. Framingham game wasn't as good as the score looked.  After an opening kickoff return BSC scored a touchdown and Framingham once again returned that kickoff for a touchdown.  On top of that Bridgewater missed 3 extra points and a field goal.  If special teams didn't do that the game wouldn't have been close because Framingham couldn't move the ball.  But you know what they say as long as you win 2/3 aspects of the game you usually come out with the win.

I didn't see the Coast Guard vs. Fitchburg game but from the boxscore and press release it looked like Fitchburg's defense was just that bad.  Coast Guard had 8 different players carry the ball and 7 different players with receptions so they must have put some of the backups in.  Plus it was homecoming some i'm sure they let people play with that lead.

As for my picks like I said I can pick winners but I can't pick scores.  And to make it easier on everyone just copy and paste from here to make sure you have the right amount of picks http://www.newenglandfootballconference.com/schedule.html

[Boxer7806]

Fitchburg D is awful i think they are dead last in the leauge in almost every major D category... and they are last in each by a considerable margin... huge games this week in both sides of the divisions with BSC (4-1, 3-0) against Coast Guard (4-1, 3-0) and Nicholls (4-1, 3-0) vs Plymouth State (5-0, 3-0) ... coast guard vs bsc will likely determine the winner of the boyd while i think the winner of nicholls vs PSU will just make their upcoming games against Curry have extra value

[Findtheball]

 x are you saying either Nichols or PSU has a chance to knock Curry of it's PEDESTAL  ........

Is that what your saying ................

I heard it here first !!!!!!!!!!!!!

nolinenoglory, I was also up at Plymouth State saturday vs.EC. Plymouth got the ball back on three critical 4th down plays to set up scores because of penalties when they were lining up to punt. 2 for 12 men on the field and 1 for roughing the kicker. completely changed the complexion of the game. Also EC dropped 3 TD passes. and fumbled after a catch and run inside the 5 yd. line. Plymouth is 5-0 but I think EC has a better chance of beating Curry than Plymouth State does. I have not seen Nichols so I will reserve comment. I really like the EC QB. ( MAKES PLAYS ) do you know anything about him? I will be at Curry Saturday night for the game. GO COLONELS!!!

The Bridgewater vs. Framingham game wasn't as good as the score looked.  After an opening kickoff return BSC scored a touchdown and Framingham once again returned that kickoff for a touchdown.  On top of that Bridgewater missed 3 extra points and a field goal.  If special teams didn't do that the game wouldn't have been close because Framingham couldn't move the ball.  But you know what they say as long as you win 2/3 aspects of the game you usually come out with the win.

To say the game wasn't as good as the score showed doesn't make sense because special teams is part of the game. If Bridgewater lets up 2 Kickoff returns for TD's then how is that a knock against Framingham? And if the Kicker misses extra points and a field goal then the kicker is obviously not that good. So you're saying that if Bridgewater had better players on Kickoff and a better Kicker they would have smoked Framingham? Well they don't have those players. That's like if the Cowboys said o we would have destroyed Buffalo if we didn't throw 5 INT's. Well guess what they did throw 5 INTs. Picks aren't part of the game?

Kernal grad (SP) ,

So what your saying is your scared of EC or PSU beating your team who hasn't even played a team with a winning record . Is that what it's all about. Yeah special teams are 1/3 of your game , if they can't preform than it's any given Sunday. It will be nice to see EC then PSU knock Curry down 2 pegs . You know what I mean. I can't wait !

[fan of d3]

I believe special teams are 1/3 of all teams gameplans...
