BLOWOUT: Nobody expected the 36-7 New Haven rout of American International on Saturday. However, we also didn’t think Stonehill would give New Haven a tight game, either. The Chargers certainly have the upper hand going into Saturday’s Northeast-10 Championship game at DellaCamera at noon. The Chargers looked quicker, more athletic as the Yellow Jackets looked out of sync and undisciplined with nine penalties for 70 yards.

WATCH: Extra Charge to see how the Chargers don’t like all the trash the Yellow Jackets talked. 

 
HOME SWEET HOME: The win for New Haven puts them in the inaugural NE-10 title game against American International at Saturday at noon. The Chargers have looked strong, as expected, all season and look to close out the NE-10.

THE BIG DANCE: The Chargers are also fighting for home field advantage in the NCAA tournament. UNH is currently ranked No. 3 in Super Region One, which would give it home field against the No. 6 seed. After thrashing AIC, another win over the same team Saturday might not elevate UNH any higher than three. The Chargers are poised to earn home field, but the first round bye, which is awarded to the top two teams, might not be in UNH’s future.

OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE GAME: Ryan Osiecki, 259 passing yards, passing TD, 60 rushing yards, russing TD.

DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE GAME: Alex Dyer, sack, recovered blocked field goal.

The last-second change from Northwestern to USC sent my best bet record to 5-2 for the season.
The write-up was mostly about NU so I hope everyone stuck with them.
This week I'm going with West Virginia over TCU. A couple of week ago Geno Smith was the Heisman favorite. He's fallen from grace lately but the Mountaineers are still a win away from being bowl eligible and have two tough games on the horizon. After scoring jut 28 points in the past 2 weeks Smith will erupt today.
Elsewhere, I can't see LSU beating Alabama and believe that 'Bama will get the late cover. The Oregon-USC game should be a war.

As usual, my picks for every game are in bold.

Best bet: West Virginia
Preferred: Michigan, South Florida, Over on UCLA game

Geno Smith will light it up again on Saturday.

Three storylines

WHAT’S THE GAMEPLAN?: The University of New Haven will play American International College in the Northeast-10 Championship game on Nov. 10. So since that is out of the way, the big question is how much should the Chargers (8-0, 7-0 NE-10) show the Yellow Jackets (7-1, 7-0) on Saturday at AIC? Home field for the title game is riding on the game at Springfield, Mass., so this is an important game for both teams. However, do you want to show your opponent all you’ve got when you’re going to play them again in seven days?
RUN, RUN, RUN: The Yellow Jackets boast two running backs in Terrell Williams (821 rushing yards) and Mike Arduino (495 rushing yards) who will test the Chargers’ run defense. Last week, UNH gave up over 100 yards on the ground for the first time all season. AIC likes to pound the ball like Southern Connecticut State University, giving New Haven’s defense ample opportunities to flex its muscle on the line of scrimmage.
NOT-SO-FRIENDLY CONFINES: The Chargers have been dominant this season at home, winning games by an average of 37.2. However, on the road that average drops to 11.2 with two wins by four points and one by just three.

Three players to watch

Sr. quarterback Ryan Osiecki, New Haven: He said he’s feeling good after two weeks back on the field. Not good news for the Yellow Jackets
The New Haven defensive line: Yes, the whole line. It is going to take a team effort from Raheem Stanley, Alex Dyer, Brent MacLeod, Tom Herd and Sean Berglund to stop the two AIC backs.
Jr. RB Terrell Williams, American International College: He has 821 rushing yards, seven rushing touchdowns and is averaging 136 rushing yards per game.

Next up
