All signs point to Bridgewater vs Framingham for the league title. Framingham has Plymouth St and Mass Maritime left and the bears have Westfield State left and its their homecoming game. Safe to say both teams are heavy favorites in both.

Bridgewater also has a bye the week before their game with Framingham, huge benefit getting 2 weeks to prepare for them. That one is going to be fun.

No more predictions or power rankings for the MASCAC?? Its unfortunate to see this board go silent the last few weeks...

I think the game is going to be a lot closer than you think. Bridgewater has had two week to prepare for this game, and they have been playing well as of late, arguably better than Framingham. The Bears also have one of the top defenses in the league, I think they can actually get to Silva and slow him down. Other teams have been able to slow him down, UMASS D and Fitchburg seemed to keep Silva and those wideouts in check, and Bridgewater has the same caliber of guys in their secondary to do the same. Bridgewater played these guys tough for 3 quarters last year before the wheels fell off in the fourth quarter, I think they change that around and get enough scores to win this game.

27-24 Bears.

Big week for Framingham State this week. An okay game this past weekend, need to continue to improve in every facet. Take care of the Lancers and if weather permits, maybe a home game for the Rams.

[MASCACAlum]

Framingham with the big victory now its on to rivalry week. Which game is the biggest this weekend?

[Cal_Paolantonio]

With Framingham securing an NCAA Bid last weekend, that leaves Bridgewater Vs. MMA (The 37th annual Cranberry Bowl) as the biggest game this weekend. If Bridgewater wins they will have a shot at an ECAC bid. MMA is looking to defend the cup after winning it last year for the first time in four years, should be another good one.

[Boxer7806]

Big win for the Rams last week against Bridgewater. With the wild weekend of football Framingham might actually get a home game. Be interesting to see how things shake out again. But the big game has to be Bridgewater vs Maritime for the scoop. Give me Bridgewater in that one, extract a little revenge from last year's debacle.

We will see. The motivation to play in these games can be tough. Lets see how the coaches handle the situation as well. If they decide to rest some players it could send the wrong message and keep this game really close. In my opinion they should just go all out for the win so they can hopefully secure a home playoff game. That is motivation enough to go out there and win this game handily for them.

I agree completely. I think using only a limited number of players and maybe the exception of some Seniors who may not play in the playoffs would be great. Yes, they need to play lights out so that some players in the fourth to prevent injury.

Framingham State has a touch matchup against perennial powerhouse Wesley, didn't really see that coming. Oh well, here's to the Rams shocking the world and then hopefully a trip to Baltimore, where I will be in attendance (subject to family obligations).

Looks like a great QB matchup coming this weekend in Dover!??! I guess we'll see which defense holds the most.
