Matt Daniels’ OVC Football Picks

Eastern Kentucky 35

Murray State 17

-Murray brought back down to Earth after first OVC win under Matt Griffin. EKU’s secondary picks off Racers quarterback Jeff Ehrhardt three times.

Tennessee-Martin 24

Southeast Missouri State 10

-UTM’s Donald Chapman goes for more than 200 yards and moves closer to becoming the OVC’s all-time rushing leader.

Tennessee Tech 34

Samford 20

-Meaningless game for this year, but next year could be the game to decide the league title. Tech wins this one behind its rushing attack and makes Samford’s losing streak grow to four.

Eastern Illinois 20

Tennessee State 7

-Another close game for the Panthers in the first half. Injury to TSU’s all-everything quarterback Antonio Heffner the difference.
