Week 7 MEAC Picks

Since this is a new blog, I'm just gonna jump right into it. Last week was.....probably the screwiest weekend in MEAC play all year. NCCU beats SCSU.......badly. FAMU goes up to DC to bring home an L against the Bison. MSU & NCCU are both 2-0 in conference play. Its a strange year indeed. The games this week will be a precursor to what should be a great week next weekend. {NSU/BCU, SCSU/FAMU}

Sooooo here goes......

Norfolk State @ Hampton: {Battle of the Bay}

In what seems to be a game merely for pride as both seasons are pretty much over (well definitely over for Hampton due to postseason ineligibility) this one could be interesting as Hampton and NSU can move the ball through the air. NSU, in my opinion is still a good team that had a couple of bad games. Coming back from 30 down against Howard only to lose on a blocked XP. Having what probably would be the game winning touchdown called back on a "celebration" penalty which negates a TD. Two small instances which have had a major impact on the spartans' season.

My Pick: NSU

NCCU @ Morgan State

With both teams undefeated in conference play so far, many see this as a "Game of the week". NCCU coming off a 40-10 beating of SCSU in the Circle City Classic, looks to build some momentum and prove that last week was no fluke. MSU, fresh off a beatdown of its own, 45-6 trampling SSU, looks to continue to quiet the skeptics and continue towards the chance to hold a MEAC crown.

My Pick: Morgan State

South Carolina State @ Delaware State:
The winner of this game will be the one who takes the battle in the air. Del State's pass offense vs SCSU's pass defense. I personally think SCSU holds firm and stops the skid.

My Pick: SCSU

Howard @ NC A&T

Howard is on a collision course to try and be co-champions with BCU by years end (the two do not play each other this year). In order to do that they must survive the trap game at Aggie Stadium this Saturday. I personally am taking this one on faith that A&T's staff will have their team ready to rock something similar to when big ol BCU came to town last year.

My Pick: A&T

Savannah State @ FAMU

.....Dear FAMU, 

Don't mess this up....or....Joe Taylor is gone.......by Monday.

My Pick: FAMU


Bye Week: BCU
