AAC Fantasy Picks: Week 9

The big matchup this week in the American is a non conference game as Temple hosts Notre Dame in what many would consider the biggest game in that program’s history.  I don’t see Temple faring well in that game and am not selecting any Owls this week.  I think Mike Boone is set to go off on Saturday against UCF and he is my UC pick for the week.

I am a whopping 12 for 56 through eight weeks, just over 20% for the season. For a refresher on my scoring system, click here.
