Week 9 Tuesday is here

N. Minicucci threw 5TD passes last week against MOSO. I don't think he repeats that at WKU(2-1) tonight for DEL(1-2). WKU 20 DEL 17

Liberty and  JaxSt are each  3-0 atop the USA standings.

N. Minicucci threw 5TD

10/28/26

Wrong on WKU. No serious D in the first half from either team. Blue Hens were up 28-21 at halftime and scored 7 more in the 3Q. DEL 35-WKU 21.  N. Minicucci threw 4TD passes

10/29/26

Veltcamp has tossed for 2084yards and 18TDs for FAU, and they'll win 35-31 over NTX @ Denton, TX

!0/30/26

Veltkamp(FAU) tossed 5TD passes to Jackson's 4, but NTX prevailed 48-41. over FAU. Wrong on this one. Mean Green also got 193 yards rushing and 2 TDs  from J. White.

10/31/26

Maybe it's because ULM  beat Troy by scoring 18 points inside the final 3 minutes of the game last week, I'll go with ULM 20 USM 17

UTEP travels to Fargo to play NDSU. NDSU recovers from its tough loss to UNM last week. QB N.Hayes has a big game for the Bison. NDSU 28 UTEP 20

11/1/26

Bison took care of UTEP 31-7 . N.Hayes had a solid game

S. Robinson (21 CAR 151 YDS, 1 TD) for USM in a 31-21 win over ULM

Wrong on ULM, correct on NDSU

PAC12: What happened to CSU yesterday? Utah St was in charge the entire game.  Ags 31 Rams 14, A. Garcia 11 REC 121 YDS

Boise St remains undefeated atop the conference with a 46-45 W over TXST. SDSU beat Wazoo, and FRES beat OSU.

Week 8 pigskin

 USA travels to Huntingdon WV to play the Herd and it feels as if the Herd don't have enough offense to beat the Jags. The Herd are still rotating QBs. CDRW has played most of the snaps, but Turner played most of the game against  CCU last week.

PJ Martin is having a solid season rushing for the Jags My guess: USA 38 MU 27.

USA is 2-0  and the Herd are 0-2 in SBC action.

Oct 21, 2026

Well the Herd proved me wrong with a 20-13 W over USA. Zach Turner played a solid game at QB, and the Herd D handled a a strong Jags O.

Oct 23, 2026

Tulsa has been up and down, but I'll take them to eke out a 28-27 home win over Army. Baylor Hayes, the Hurricane QB, has been decent.

In other AAC news MEM beat ECU 41-34 in OT

SBC - Appy knocked off JMU 34-31 in OT.

Oct 24, 2026

Wrong on Tulsa! Nwawuihe & Hellums rushed for a combined 256 yards in Army's 38-35 OT win over Tulsa.

Richter has tossed 14 TD passes and thrown for 1853 yards for Toledo. WMU losses are OOC matchups against Michigan and Boise St.  WMU D slows down the Rockets just enough for a 31-28 win.

Oct 25, 2026

Wrong on WMU(3-1) who lost 45-38 to Toledo(3-1). Neither team played effective D. Richter tossed 3TD passes and C.Miller rushed for 163yds and a TD.

Ohio survived EMU to go to 4-0 in the MAC. MOH(3-1) edged CMU 28-27 & Buffalo(3-1), possibly the biggest surprise in the MAC this season, beat Bowling Green.

Week 7 Tuesday football goes on

Minicucci (DEL) @ Gagliano(MTSU) in a CUSA the shootout.

Blue Hens will escape with a 31-28 road win

Will the SBC raid the MAC to replace JMU 

Oct 14, 2026

I was wrong: MTSU 33 DEL 30 .  Gagliano won the QB battle with 4 TD passes  while Bell threw 3 for DEL  Minicucci was a last minute DNP.

Oct 15 2026

ECU will pull out a close game at UAB by a score of 24-21. Engelman rushed for 100 yards for the Pirates.

Oct 16 2026

Sloppy first half with ECU up 14-3 however UAB scored 13 in OT, thanks to a pick6 by Delvon Gulley  for a 30-17 win

Wrong again

Oct 17, 2026

Wyoming(2-1) could move closer to the top of the MWC with a win over NIU(0-1). Cowboys rushing attack will have a good day. WYO 24 NIU 17

Oct 18, 2026

Cowboys  QB T. Hughes 12 CAR 183 YDS, 4 TD. WYO 41 NIU 23. Only  correct pick

WYO(3-1) is one of four teams tied at 3-1. .UNM (2-0) in the MWC

Oct 19, 2026

UTSA (3-0) and NTX(2-0) sit atop the AAC and will face each on Nov 14. Owen McCown connected with  A'Marion Peterson for a 41 yard touchdown with 2 minutes left to give the Roadrunners a 38-34 win over Navy on Saturday.

McCown threw 3 TD passes.

Week 6 , already Tuesday football

 Troy scored 55 points in a win over USM last night.

Tonight, I'll go with FIU at home in a 24-20 win over NMSU. Maybe Kohl doesn't toss an INT for the Panthers?

Oct 8, 2026

Correct on FIU getting the W but surprised they  held NMSU to a FG in a 22-3 win. FIU kicked 5 FGs

Tonight, I'll go with USA winning a close one at Ark St

Hollins will toss 2 TD passes for the Jags in a 24-21 win.

Oct 9 2026

A lot more points than I expected and  I was correct on USA

K. Phillips 19 CAR 157 YDS, 4 TD for the Jags in a 56-49 win over Ark St

Hollins tossed 3 TD passes for the winners

Owens tossed 4TDs 418 yards, 2 INTs for the Red Wolves

Oct 10, 2026

Vezza, the CMU QB, leads the team in rushing. Bobcats will slow him down enough for a home victory. Ohio 24 CMU 20

Oct 11, 2026

Ohio scored its 31 points in the first half and CMU scored  its 14 in the second half

Paulos  tossed 3 TD passes for the Bobcats

3 for 3 this week

MOH(1-1) survived UMass 20-19 .(1-2)  . The four undefeated teams in MAC play are EMU, BGSU Ohio, and WMU

Oct 12, 2026

James Madison University has been admitted as a full member of the AAC, with competition to begin no later than July 1, 2028.  Up to 15 teams-wow

Week 5 non-power

I'll pick a few games this weekend, but for now I'll get a pick in for Thursday night

AAC: Tulsa opened the season with a loss to ARK then won three straight including an upset of OK ST

NTX has been a roller coaster which includes rolling over UNLV 44-6

My hunch : Tulsa 31 NTX 24  Golden Hurricanes score a DST touchdown.

QB shootout in Delaware on Friday night.  I''ll take  Purdie to outgun Minicucci. LIB 31 DEL 28

Oct 2, 2026

Wrong on Tulsa, what a shootout. NTX 45 Tulsa 44 OT. T. Jackson tossed 4TD passes for the winners.

Oct 3, 2026

UMass beat Sac St and is  undefeated in September- that is a rarity.

James Madison, Boise State & New Mexico are getting some early chatter involving the 12 team bracket.

Week 3 OOC games

 Herd wins a  24- 23 squeaker at MOSU C. Del Rio-Wilson has a big game

SDSU wins  over visiting JMU by a score of 21-17. L. Sutton rushes for close to 100 yards

Unsure why I think ECU upsets  ODU  by a score of 28-24 on the road. Perhaps Ashton Gray  has a solid rushing game for the Pirates.

Blue Hens hold on at home 27-24 over CCU.  Minicucci QB, tosses a few TD passes.

Sept 20, 2026

3-1: wrong on the Aztecs, correct on DEL, ECU, & the Herd
