Games  you just can't sleep on this week :

# 1  WSSU   @  # 8  Virginia State  in CIAA Championship  Game ! 
Durham County Memorial  Stadium  @ 1:35pm 
Number one  9-1 Winston Salem State CIAA Southern Division champs take on the Trojans of Virginia State  8-2  who are the CIAA Northern Division champs. The Rams may have the edge due to the recent suspension of  VSU  QB Tarian Ayres  182.7 yards passing per game to go with 26 yards rushing per game. Ayres is the Trojans starting QB and will be missed.     My Prediction :   WSSU   35     VSU  21  

 # 5   Tuskegee   Vs  # 10 Albany State in  SIAC  Championship 
Cramton Bowl ,  Montgomery Alabama     8pm  ET 

Coaches Mike White  of ASU  and Willie Slater of Skeegee  are no strangers  and faced each other many times ! Coach white has a Defense that leads the SIAC  and Coach slater will try to counter with the leading Offense in the SIAC averaging 35 points a game ! 
My Prediction   Tuskegee 21     Albany State   14
