Predictions for this weekend's games:

Hot dog, the season is upon us. While we all know things don't heat up too much until PL play, here's my predictions for this weekend's games:

BUCKNELL at Michigan State - State by 23. Frosh Shannon Brown's debut, look for him to drop at least 15.
COLGATE at Princeton - Princeton by 10. Judson Wallace from Princeton is legit, not sure if Howard Blue can guard him. If he does, game will be closer.
Long Island U. at LEHIGH - Lehigh by 15, any less and it's an embarrassment.
NAVY at South Carolina - Gamecocks by 25. Don DeVoe stopped beating SEC teams when he left Tennessee.
Columbia at ARMY (YES) - How is this game being broadcast? NY media bias, indeed. Who cares, Columbia sucks for not hiring Kareem Adbul-Jabar, and Army just sucks.
Coast Guard at ARMY - Ugh. Army by 5.
Boston Univ. at HOLY CROSS - Hard pick, since I don't know if HC will be playing with a frontcourt or not. If their 2 big guys play, they win by 3, if not, they lose by a lot more. Also, the Terrier is a wussy mascot.
LAFAYETTE at Rutgers - If LU can keep Rutgers under 65 pts, they get a victory over a supposed Big East team. I don't think they can, though, so Rutgers by 12.
AMERICAN at Maryland - I will not be attending, since last time I went to an AU/UMD we lost by 30. This time, we face a team that isn't going to win the nat'l championship, so UMD by 15 (although it would be ultimate bragging rights for me if AU beat them).

What do you think? Let me know on the board.
