Matt Daniels’ OVC Football Picks
Last Week’s Record: 5-0
Overall Record: 51-14
Murray State 33
Austin Peay 21
-Racers use this win to springboard into 2008 campaign, where Matt Griffin’s team should contend for the league title.
Tennessee Tech 34
Eastern Kentucky 28
– Tech head coach Watson Brown pulls out all the tricks on offense while pulling out an upset that hurts EKU’s playoff seeding.
Tennessee State 24
Tennessee-Martin 22
-TSU defense shuts down UTM quarterback Cade Thompson’s arm. Running back Donald Chapman not enough to keep Skyhawks in game.
Jacksonville State 41
Southeast Missouri 17
-SEMO head coach Tony Samuel better find a way to utilize his offense more next year – or he’ll have to find another job. JSU quarterback Cedric Johnson has a field day against the Redhawks.
Eastern Illinois 38
Samford 14
-Panthers biggest opponent this weekend is the Football Championship Subdivision playoff committee. No problem in getting by inferior Bulldogs.
