While the team will certainly not take Merrimack for granted, I think we stand a very high chance of winning , so I am offering some "proposition bets" that I hope some posters will find interesting. Unlike real proposition bets in Las Vegas, here you have to weigh in on each entry. Hope you enjoy

Many of my selections are not based on lack of ability but rather Chesney not being the roll 'em up kind of guy. I believe we will see 2nd and 3rd string guys seeing a lot of action. That's why I am picking freshman Fuller for rushing leader. Same with Ng. We may see back up placekicker getting a chance for XPs and don't think we'll be forced to go for many FGs nor many punts. I could be waaaaay off base here.

As you made it through pre-med at Holy Cross (when there was such a thing), we know you are joking.

Is it possible that some of you have too much time on your hands? On the contrary, I'm retired and I don't have enough time to do the things I want to do every day.

For the purposes of scoring our little competition, each question is worth 1 point with the exception of #5 (worth 3) and #6 (worth 4)
