A cloudy/rainy day here, the AL East race basically ovah....time to turn our attention to PL football.
Week 1 is a little ovah 2 weeks away, Sept 1. Gives you a little time to research/prepare for the week and season ahead.
As in the past, just pick the victor of each contest...no point-spreads. Overall winner will be the person who has the most total wins for the season.
Week 1: All games on Sept 1
St Francis @ Lehigh 12:30
Georgetown @ Marist 1:00
William&Mary @ Bucknell 6:00
Lafayette @ Sacred Heart 6:00
Fordham @ UNC-Charlotte 6:00
Holy Cross @ Colgate 1:00
Picks due before the 12:30 kickoff of the Engineers game.
Feel free to chime in on your thoughts about the opening week's tilts as well as the season itself in this thread above and beyond your picks.
Good luck!

Wonder how HC - Colgate is the only league game in this first week ?
Quite a disadvantage, esp for the underdog Crusaders

Lehigh
Hoyas
W&M
Lafayette
UNCC
Colgate
9/1 will tell us quite a bit about where PL is right now.
Lehigh in a must win game right off the bat.
As is GU.One of the few times they have a real shot at a W
W&M is not very good.Can Bison find a QB.
Pards are a veteran team, if healthy, with a now seasoned QB
UNCC very good
Colgate a talented team with practically all starters back. Crusaders a work in progress.

Why is the first game, a non-conference one, a must win for Lehigh ?

Why is the first game, a non-conference one, a must win for Lehigh ? Because losing to St Francis would be a colossal embarrassment?? |

Why is the first game, a non-conference one, a must win for Lehigh ? SFP actually a good team. A test for our new OL and D. The point is Ws against Nova and Navy are very unlikely. Penn and Princeton will be tough but winnable if we've survived Navy  . Lehigh cannot go 0 for the OOC again this year.3-2 would be fine. 2-3 more probable. Anything less is disaster and may mark Coens departure. |

Not making any predictions until I see the HC two deep. Really? OK...just don't see how that is going to change your opinion....we are going to pretty young and/or inexperienced overall no matter who is in the 2-deep, no? |

Wonder how HC - Colgate is the only league game in this first week ? Quite a disadvantage, esp for the underdog Crusaders I actually think it works to HC’s advantage. No tape anywhere of a Chesney HC team. Plenty of tape of Colgate. |

No tape anywhere of a Chesney HC team. Plenty of tape of Colgate. Hope so, but Not sure that outweighs the veteran team and coach playing vs a far less experienced team with an unknown QB |

St Francis @ Lehigh 12:30 (Lehigh's not great but I think they'll win)
Georgetown @ Marist 1:00
William&Mary @ Bucknell 6:00 (Won't be close)
Lafayette @ Sacred Heart 6:00
Fordham @ UNC-Charlotte 6:00
Holy Cross @ Colgate 1:00 (Not picking this as one of HC's four or so wins this year...rebuilding after back-to-back 4-7 seasons not a recipe to beat Colgate on opening day.)

OK, time to go on the record.
LEHIGH (in a close game at home)
GEORGETOWN (going with the PL here)
WiILLIAM & MARY (not close)
SACRED HEART (based on home field)
UNC-CHARLOTTE
COLGATE (in a game that may be closer than some think)
