The game of the week ***should be*** ETSU vs Wofford. But the game I am most intrigued by is Samford at Furman. Has Samford awoken from their early-season slumber, or were Furman's really tough first two games not worth taking note of and they really are at the top of the league?
Furman whipped Wofford this past week, but going back and looking the Terriers really hadn't played very good teams (Wyoming is one of the worst 25 in the FBS). So maybe it really was Wofford was over-rated? What I do know is that penalties and special teams were the difference in us versus Furman, and hurt QB or not Samford absolutely mauled the Cats. Furman and Samford might actually be the 2 best teams in the SoCon, but after Saturday one of them is going to be all but out of not only the conference championship picture, but out of playoff contention all-together. The loser of the ETSU vs Wofford game ***could*** still make the playoffs.

Here are the Purple & Gold picks....  Saturday, 10-20-18The Citadel (1-4, 1-3 SoCon) at VMI (0-6, 0-5 SoCon) 1:30 pm ESPN3The Bulldogs travel to Lexington for the military football classic game. The Keydets are hoping to make their season with this one game win, but, unfortunately, their losing streak does not end this week. Bulldogs win, 35 - 28.ETSU (6-1, 4-0 SoCon) at Wofford (4-2, 3-1 SoCon) 1:30 pm ESPN+The Bucs travel to Sparkle City hoping to hold on to first place in the conference race. This is the game that shows us which team is the pretender. In the end, the dogs come out the winner, 31 - 21.Samford (3-4, 2-2 SoCon) at Furman (2-3, 2-1 SoCon) 2:00 pm ESPN+The Bulldogs are in Traveler's Rest this weekend, hoping to continue their 2 game win streak, and add another conference game loss to Furman's record. Home field advantage plays a big role in this game, as the Paladins pull out a close win, 28 - 24 over the Bulldogs.Western Carolina (3-3, 1-3 SoCon) at Mercer (3-3, 2-1 SoCon) 4:00 pm ESPN+The Cats are in Macon this weekend, where the Cats are 1-1 in games against the Bears. While the Bears are a 3 point favorite against Western, the Cats finally put an entire game together, and upset Mercer by a final score of 35-28. |

Not sure where the spread came from, but everywhere I check Mercer is a 10.5 point favorite over the Cats. Over/under is 67, so the wise guys say a score like Mercer 39 WCU 28. Massey has it Mercer 38 WCU 28, with Mercer a 79% chance of winning.
Doesn't change a WCU win from being an upset, but actually makes it a bigger upset.
