Emory's Picks (10 Live)
Emory's Past Picks
With the announcement of coach Mike Locksley returning for the next season and a newfound investment into the football program will give the Terps a significant bump and confidence boost entering this game vs Michigan. On the other side, we've seen the Wolverines struggle throwing the ball with consistency on the road. On top of that, they're significant banged up in the backfield. Game should be closer to 4 points as opposed to 14 points.
Both teams share a lot of similarities offensively, especially at QB. What I like about both teams in this game is they share a commonality with how they played vs Iowa. With this being essentially a playoff elimination game, I would expect both team to play it as such. Look for a tightly contested matchup between two teams who are surging.
Look for the UConn Huskies to continue to put together another impressive showing in the trenches. They win games up front, which allows their offense to have the type of success that wins you games. I like how this trip take place on grass, which is tailor-made for the type of game the Huskies like to play.
What a year the PVAMU Panthers have had so far this season, earning themselves a spot in the SWAC title game. Mississippi Valley State has struggled mightily on offense, putting their defense in a bad spot on a consistent basis. Look for the Panthers to really roll in this ball game. They've only given up 14 points in the last two games on defense.
Love what the Mercer Bears have done so far this season. This is one of the more explosive offenses in the FCS and does a great job in playing up to the level of competition. Over time, we've seen Auburn do the exact opposite in the same scenarios. This is a very large spread vs a very good FCS team that might earn a 1st round bye in the playoffs. Trust the Bears to play their best in their final game of the season.
