This week's Purple & Gold football picks (8-30-17)




It's week #1 in the SoCon, and time to start making this week's football picks.

Usually, our picks are posted on Friday for Saturday's games, however, this week we have two Thursday night games, thus the early picks.

Check back on Friday, for our regular football picks.





Jacksonville (0-0) at Mercer (0-0)   7:00 pm EDT - watch on ESPN3
The Jacksonville Dolphins from the Pioneer Football League will travel to Macon to meet the Bears for the second time. The Dolphins were selected to finish 5th in the Pioneer in preseason, and makes for a good FCS win for the Bears.
Final score:  Mercer 39 - Jacksonville 17

Kennesaw State (0-0) at Samford  (0-0)  7:00 pm EDT - watch on ESPN3
The Owls of Kennesaw State from the Big South will travel to Birmingham for the first meeting between the Bulldogs of Samford and KSU. The Owls were picked to share the Big South Conference Championship this season, but it's not quite enough to handle the offensive weapons of the Bulldogs. This is the first of five Big South, SoCon meetings this season.
Final Score: Samford 31 - Kennesaw State 21


Check back with us on Friday for the final 5 game picks of the weekend.


Record this season:
1-0 overall
