Score Predictions for Week 2

That's right folks! It's time for the predictions from this self-proclaimed UMAC football expert. Week two is filled with some of the most hard to predict games this year, but no need for concern people... I've got this. 

CSS vs IWC

It's an undeniable fact that CSS football plays some of their worst games in states they aren't fimilar with. This was true for the "Almost Presentation College Disaster" which they played in one of those Dakota state things. The game wasn't pretty but they still pulled it off. So what does that mean when the Saints head into the great land of the corn? It means that they pull off the win, but not in the fashion I think they should.

Final Score

CSS-34 IWC-13

Greenville @ Morris

If this game was in Greenville I would say Morris would lose by 2 touchdowns, but since this is in Morris and I don't trust the abilities of the Greenville offense I'm gonna predict this one to be a close one. I think Morris could actually win this one with a couple of bounces in their favor, but am I gutsy enough to pick them to win?!?! No.

Final Score

Greenville-32 Morris-24 

Westminster @ Crown

Now in my earlier blog I went out on a risk... I said Crown might win every home game this year. This one I think is a match-up of two polar opposites on the offensive sides of the ball. Crown loves the hard dive smash mouth football and it looks like Westminster is in gunslinger mode early and I don't think it's a bad thing. I think what is going to make this game a lower scoring game (low scoring by UMAC standards) is that Crown is going to chew up as much clock as possible and should be effective at it against Westminsters defense. If this game does go into shoot-out Westminster wins that's battle, but or now...

Final Score

Crown 21- Westminster-14 

Game of the Week!!! 

Northwestern @ Eureka

What's going to happen when the new UMAC "Powerhouse" goes against the strong passing Eureka team? To be honest... I know exactly what will happen! One of the teams will win and sadly one will lose and their chances at the UMAC are done... Harsh right? Week 2 and you could already be out of the running... That's kinda the way it is tho. If Eureka wins this game that proves their passing offense is the real deal and that most teams will have a tough time stopping them. If Northwestern wins this game it just shows that the rest of the conference better recognize that there is a new sheriff in town. The winner of this game will finish the UMAC with 1 conference loss at the most! Which means the loser will be knocked out of the running. So here's what's going to happen... Eureka is going to pass well, but that pass rush from Northwestern will be the death of them at some point. I don't forsee Euerka being able to stop the run of Northwestern, but this is going to come down to one big event. I'm calling a scoop and score fumble for Northwestern that'll be the deciding factor. 

Final Score 

Northwestern-26 Eureka-21 

Final Game: Martin Luther @ MacMurray

This one I'm kinda excited to see how it finishes up. Too be honest I didn't learn anything about either one of these teams in week one so I'm taking a shot in the dark.

Winner?

MacMurry-28 Martin Luther-21
