(509)Rat and myself have posted our weekly game picks which include UWW vs UWO.

ADvantage 'Catdome = NWC Pick 'Em Contest: Week 8

Well done. But is Linfield vs. L&C really the game of week in the NWC?

That game should be over by half. Right bleed?! 

  We pick all the NWC games regardless but the West Region and National are games picked out by the NWC pick 'em page moderator. 

Thanks for the kind words bleed.  I love doing it.

I got it. Apparently I can't read, damn public school college education*. It does say Games of the Week...not Game of the Week

*Not a word retagent

See 02- that's why UWW is so good at football.

oh the comparing of records against common opponents comes up once again. Most of you are former players and should remember different teams match up against others based on the offensive and defensive schemes ran. Comparing records against common opponents is usually useless...but let's compare the same 2012 common oppoents scores anyway 

Similar to this season, UWW fared better against Stout that Oshkosh did.
Similar to this season, both beat UWLC handidly.

2012
UWO vs UWLC 41-7, UWW beat them 24-0
UWO vs UWS 27-18, UWW beat them 41-7
UWO beat UWW 28-13

2013
UWO vs UWLC 30-6, UWW beat them 47-3
UWO vs UWS 28-26, UWW beat them 55-13

Similar to last season, UWO beats UWW 28-24

Not bad, not bad...I suppose that would be true if all things were equal between 2012 and 2013, but we know they're not. Whitewater's offense couldn't be more different than last season. Whitewater's passing offense was dead last a season ago in the WIAC....now they're third.

Their total offense went from 126th in the country to 40th. Obviously that's only through 6 games, but the improvement is noticeable.

Well done oshfb.
My memory only goes back to halftime of the UWW-UWO game 2012- apparently I've blocked out the pain of the first half.  From that point on, UWW beat UWO 13-7. I'm figuring the team that showed up in the second half, which included Matt Behrendt at the helm, is the team to really compare.

Tell me about the UWO D line- are they as dominant as it seems?

UWO outplayed UWW in the first half in 2011 as well as they were up 17-10...though we all remember UWW made the comeback with a late FG to prevail 20-17.

BleedPurple, sorry work has me busy and HS football playoffs have begun (I'm an assistant coach). But I made sure to get in my plug! 

02 Warhawk, I don't know too much about the D-Line. I know that the NT Smith is likely one of the strongest players in the conference. I know that DE Dexter Charles is a beast at 6-7" 265lbs. He's the younger brother of former Badger WR Darrin Charles.

Should be a great game regardless of the outcome!

Thanks bleed. I didn't respond initially after your first explanation (I think it was you, but it was someone) but that is exactly what I was getting at.

I am really looking forward to this game. I too have UWO snatching the victory. The D-Line is pretty darn good Osh mentioned the two biggest factors in that. Charles is fun to watch for sure. There was some talk earlier this week about who had the chip on their shoulder and after being passed up in the polls this week and this game being in Oshkosh I'd say the "intangibles" category is about even. I'd say the offenses are about even. Defense goes to UWW. Coaching is even. So I think this game comes down to special teams and I have confidence in Nate Ray to win it. I'll say 24-21 Oshkosh.

Thanks for posting. Again, always more fun when we get predictions and different viewpoints. +k

UW-O does have some big ole boys on that D-Line. I hope they be in shape. They are going to face some serious tempo tomorrow!

Last year I believed if both Oshkosh and whitewater brought their "A" game, Oshkosh wins 10 out of 10 times. This year, if both teams are on top of their game, I can't see how UWW loses.

10 out of 10 times? Wow. They out-gained UWW by 3 yards! The first half turnovers killed UW-W. And if you want to know how UW-W could lose this year, it would be the same way. Turnovers are a killer. Apart from turnovers this year, I agree with you. 

Are you serious about that font on the bottom?  I'm mostly responding to your post because I had to hit quote to see it!

I don't think UWO played their best that day (unlike the second half of the Bethel game where they looked unbeatable). But yes, maybe I was exaggerating with 10 out of 10.

How about if UWO scores more points than UWW? Would you be able to see it then?

La Crosse hosts Point in what could be a battle for 4th place in the WIAC. The Eagles, I believe, will find it difficult to run against the Pointer defense and will need to move the ball through the air. Coach Dettwiler's defense believes it has jelled and will need a good effort to help the Eagles prevail. La Crosse needs to rely on a long standing jinx over the Pointers, and will escape with a 17-14 win.

Having seen both teams play NCC I would predict that UWSP will win easily. UWLC was not a very difficult game for NCC and the Pointers may have lost by 20 points to us but the game seemed much closer than that (look at the stats). I think the line play from both The O-line and the D-line for the Pointers will allow them to win without much trouble.

How much do you have the Hawks winning by today, Ret?

Sure wish I could be at Titan Stadium today but doctor's orders are keeping me home today.  I'll be working my Website and social media all afternoon.

The Oshkosh Northwestern has a good preview of today's UWW at UWO game...
