Colgate @ Furman - I take Colgate as they are 2-0 with a win this weekend over (surprisingly 0-2) New Hampshire - 17-14
ETSU @ VMI - Poor VMI - ETSU - 35-10
Mercer @ Samford - Sammy looks good - 31-17
Wofford @ Wyoming - Cowboys win, but not easily - 28-24 (My gut says this could be an upset pick for Wofford)
Chattanooga @ UT Martin - UT Martin - avenges losses to MTSU & Mizzou - 27-21
CSU @ The Citadel - Bellhops do the same - 38-10
Western Carolina @ Gardner-Webb - Cats go 2-0 - but closer than we'd like - 35-24

Colgate @ Furman - hope I am wrong, and in other places I have picked FU since they are at home (and I am a SoCon homer) ETSU @ VMI - the Keydets are in more trouble than even the past 2 years with a shift in offensive scheme Mercer @ Samford - probably a closer game than many think Wofford @ Wyoming - Woffy may win this one, but picking against the FCS school that has to travel that far Chattanooga @ UT Martin - Mocs equal last year's win total with 3-0 start CSU @ The Citadel - hoping for an OOC win for the league Western Carolina @ Gardner-Webb - I expect explosive offense for the Cats, but can the D show up?
Wofford pulling off the upset and Furman getting the win at home would be good for the league, so I really hope I miss both of those. If the Paladins get their RS Sr QB back maybe they will settle down at that position. Another interesting note is Samford will be without Defensive pre-season Player of the Year Gooden for the first half after his targeting call against FSU. That was a big loss for them against the Seminoles late in the game.

FWIW, Massey has predictions on pretty much every football game. They have WCU with a 71% chance of winning, and a predicted score of 31-24. The site has Citadel/CSU and Furman/Colgate as basically toss-ups, Wofford losing, and Samford/Mercer as a 7-point Bulldog win. www.masseyratings.com/cf/ncaa-d1/games?dt=20180911 |

 It's week #3 in the SoCon, and time to pick this weeks' games. This week, we have 2 on Friday, 3 still to be played on Saturday, one game canceled and one game postponed, all due to Hurricane Florence.
Friday, September 14, 2018ETSU (1-1, 0-0 Southern) at VMI (0-2, 0-1 Southern) 2:30 pm The Bucs travel Lexington to meet the Keydets the first of two conference games today. ETSU turns out to be a not so good guest, as the leave Lexington with a 35-17 win over the winless Keydets. Western Carolina (1-0) at Gardner-Webb (1-1) 6 pm The Cats travel to Boiling Springs for the second straight year, hoping to come away with the same final results. Both teams need this win, but it's the Catamounts that come out on top, 38-24.
Saturday, 8-15-18Mercer (1-1, 0-0 Southern) at Samford (1-1, 0-0 Southern) 3 pm The Bears travel to Birmingham, hoping to capitalize on last week's win over Jacksonville, but the Bulldogs have a different idea in mind, their first conference win. Dogs roll, 35-21 over Mercer. Wofford (2-0) at Wyoming (1-2) 4 pm The Terriers are hoping to pick up that FBS win, but it's just not in the cards. The Cowboys end their two-game losing streak with a 31-14 victory. Chattanooga (2-0) at UT Martin (0-2) 4 pm The Mocs continue their winning streak, this time it's the Skyhawk that fall victim to the Mocs. Chattanooga takes a 28-14 win over UTM Postponed - Charleston Southern (0-1) at The Citadel (0-2) CanceledColgate (2-0) at Furman (0-2) |

VMI just tied the game 7-7 in the second quarter (80 yards, 15 play drive) after the Bucs returned a punt for a touchdown in the first quarter.

The Keydets had a pick 6 on the first play after their last touchdown. It's now 14-7 VMI. The VMI defense is holding their own up to this point in the game.
