There are some interesting Picks this week

I'd never been to that site before. Is it a common occurance that our (and the rest of the NEC teams') games aren't even predicted?

Yes. Usually our league games will not carry a line or be predicted. In other words we have been the red-headed step child of FCS football for years now. Our team has gained great respect on the national scene in the last two years (wins at Delaware and at Lehigh last year), but the rest of the league has not had the same success, with the exception of Central Connecticut and maybe Monmouth.

 

Take a look over at www.anygivensaturday.com for the perception of our league.

 

But be forewarned...you might want to read the board for a long time before posting. The people over there are very very knowledgeable about FCS football and have no problem ripping newbies a new one if you know what I mean.

Thanks for the heads-up dane. I haven't been to the AGS board, but had kind of assumed the things you mentioned based on what I've seen posters on this board write about it.

 

I saw the prediction site and just assumed it was posted because it had our game, then thought I was losing my mind cause I couldn't find us. Then it finally clicked that no NEC team was on there. Kind of a bit surprising with our quality wins last year.

 

Do some of the higher profile (UA/CCSU, UA/MU, CCSU/MU) NEC games get recognized, or not even that?

Yeah, the higher profile game do get recognized, just like the San Diego/Dayton game from the PFL this week. Its pretty much a lock that the winner of the USD/Dayton game will be playing in the Gridiron Classic game this year. The winner of the NEC travels to the PFL team this year. (This assumes that neither the PFL or NEC champ gets an at-large bid to the playoffs, which is highly unlikely).

 

There are predictions every week put up by posters on www.anygivensaturday.com which offer some good insight on other teams.
