Westminster at Northwestern - This is my game of the week pick. This will be the most interesting game this week, as it tells us if Northwestern is as good as we thought they were before last weeks upset, or if Westminster has the potential to break into the upper half of the UMAC. Since Northwestern’s first two conference games have been defensive battles, I’m guessing this one will follow suit. I’m picking Northwestern in a tight game, 21-14.
Crown at Eureka - I underestimated Crown last week. Their offense is decent, but their defense has left much to be desired so far. Eureka seems to be a defensive team, so it will be interesting to see these two teams match up. Eureka still looks to be in the upper half of the conference, and are still in the running for champs if they can pull an upset or two. I think it will be a low scoring affair, with Eureka coming out on top, 17-14.
Greenville at Martin Luther - This was my backup game of the week. Both teams have some decent offensive weapons, so I'm thinking this is going to be a shootout. Martin Luther has shown they have improved a ton and are at home, but Greenville showed their power when they took down Northwestern last week. I'm taking Greenville with a score of 42-35, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were the other way around - weird things happen in New Ulm.
Iowa Wesleyan at MacMurray - I'm not giving Iowa Wesleyan much of a chance in this one. After being soundly defeated by Martin Luther last week, they travel to the conference leading Highlanders who have the leading rusher and the #5 ranked offense in DIII football. This one will get ugly fast. I'm guessing Chazz will run for another 250 yards (at least) and 3 TDs. MacMurray blows them out, 56-14.
Minnesota Morris at St. Scholastica - After upsetting St. Scholastica at the Big Cat last year, Morris was understandably ecstatic. After all, its not too often you get to unseat the perennial conference champion. This year though, CSS is home and will be out for revenge. Not to mention you have the potential conference champion facing what is now potentially the worst team in the conference. The Cougars will slink back to Morris with their tails between their legs. CSS will dominate Morris, 63-6.
Looking forward to these interesting matchups this week. The landscape of the UMAC is yet to be determined, and each team can still sculpt their own destinies. Keep up with the scores at D3football.com, I will be tweeting updates from the Crown/Eureka game as I receive them!
