Every NAIA football game in the nation deserves to be looked at and we do that each week with Chip’s Picks! Chip’s Picks will select featured games as well as predict the winner of every NAIA football game. (For those of you unfamiliar “Chip” is just the nickname for me, Jason Dannelly.)
Each week we will carve out the best of the best in our featured game picks as well as selecting winners of every NAIA football games. All games are Saturday unless notated below.
