NJAC Pick'em

Mr.Right,

If you were to ask me the favorite, I wouldn't be able to give an answer. This is like a 5 horse race with a the possibility of a late scratch. All odds fairly even and whoever has the strongest kick or the best position is going win. A team like MSU could be #1 on the rail and screwed if they get a bad match-up.

At the moment I think it's AQ or bust for the following: Rutgers-Newark, Rutgers-Camden.

LOCK: MSU

ON THE BUBBLE: Kean, Stockton.

OUTSIDE THE BUBBLE: Rowan, Rutgers-Newark, TCNJ, Rutgers-Camden.

Rutgers-Camden is fading like a $5 Mexican T-shirt. With Stockton and Rutgers-Newark looming, they must go 1-0-1 or they run the risk of missing the playoffs.

Rowan is 3-3 with Kean, NJCU, and TCNJ

TCNJ is 2-4 with NJCU, WPU, and Rowan

15 looks to be the magic number and it's likely that the loser of Rowan-TCNJ will miss out.

NJAC is looking at 4 teams with very good chances of playing their way in.

1. MSU---However, I am only seeing maybe 2 solid wins v ranked..Haverford and Stockton and Rowan...We still do not know if Rowan and Stockton will even be ranked. IMO they still have a bit of work to do like beating RUN.

2. Kean--They are coming up with some impressive wins which they MUST get because of such a soft schedule to begin the year. If they go 3-1-0 in their last 4 they should be well on their way.

3. Stockton--They have just hung around and snuck up on us. They need to finish clean and MUST beat Kean.

4. Rowan--Starting to slip and their hopes are fading fast. They beat RUN and the Messiah win doesn't matter much now. They must beat Kean and go clean IMO.

5. RUN---A couple solid wins but their last 4 games are brutal..They control their own destiny, even if they go 3-1-0 they should be good.

The South Atlantic does not seem to be deep outside of the NJAC, so I'm inclined to believe that both Rowan and Stockton will be ranked. Kean is on the fence with the weak SOS...

Lynchburg or Randolph could represent from the ODAC.

Emory being ranked is unlikely or 7th slot at best.

Stockton YES...Rowan I would guess NO...

Changes:
Stockton over Rutgers-Camden 2-1
Rowan over TCNJ 2-1.

1. MSU. 8-1
2. Stockton 7-1-1
3. Rowan 6-3
4. Kean 6-3
5. Rutgers-Camden 5-4
6. Rutgers-Newark 4-4-1
-----------------------------
7. TCNJ 4-5. A draw does them no good as they lost in final seconds to Rutgers-Newark.

Love the NJAC - you never can be sure who will win on any given day!

Mr.Right · October 29, 2015, 05:32:28 PM

It looks like that Camden v Stockton game is streaming tonight. I plan to watch as I believe Stockton is a bit overrated and they have only 2 good wins v Kean and v Rowan. Camden takes it on senior night and moves Stockton to the wrong side of the bubble. Of course I just noticed they are 7-0-1 in their last 8..

Mr.Right · October 29, 2015, 07:41:11 PM

ugh...lookin forward to that Camden game v Stockton and NO STREAM...

lastguyoffthebench · October 29, 2015, 08:46:27 PM

TCNJ up 1-0 on Rowan 55 min in

Rutgers-Camden up 1-0 on Stockton. 15 to go...

lastguyoffthebench · October 29, 2015, 09:09:27 PM

Rutgers-Camden to host TCNJ or Rutgers-Newark

Rowan to host Kean.

lastguyoffthebench · October 31, 2015, 03:12:16 PM

Rutgers-Camden wins 2-1. Took a 2-0 lead in 83rd, Newark cut it to 2-1 in 85th and hit post in 90th. Camden will travel to Stockton for the semi final. Rowan should beat Kean 2 or 3-1 tonight...

lastguyoffthebench · November 04, 2015, 10:18:38 AM

Rowan 2, MSU 1 OT
Stockton 2, Rutgers-Camden 1

Stockton 1, Rowan 0

RUMSU · November 04, 2015, 12:12:00 PM

Here's my picks
MSU 3 Rowan 1
RUC 2 Stockton 1 OT

MSU 1 RUC 0

Stockton lists the live feed for the game tonight. I've never seen their coverage. Rutgers-Camden is 4-0-2 vs Stockton since 2011... Hopefully the trend continues.

RUMSU · November 05, 2015, 02:24:44 PM

MSU strong against a good Rowan team!
