Big Sky Predictions 9-7 thru 9-9 (Week 2)
Thursday Sept 7th
Idaho State- 10
Utah State- 45
Idaho State is no Wisconsin
Saturday Sept 9th
North Dakota State- 56
Eastern Washington- 31
Eastern is not doing themselves any favors with this schedule.
Missouri State- 23
North Dakota- 20
Would this be considered an upset?
Cal Poly- 17
Northern Iowa- 31
Cal Poly starts the season 0-3. Luckily their BSC schedule is a lot easier.
Weber State- 17
California- 45
California is a whole new breed of "Dawg" than UM Western
Southern Utah- 31
Stephen F. Austin- 24
Both teams lost by more than 40 points in their first game. My Wildcard game of the week.
Western Illinois- 17
Northern Arizona- 28
The Big Sky's lone win this week over the MVFC
Northern Colorado- 3
Florida- 56
Florida looked pretty bad against Michigan, luckily for them UNC is not Michigan.
Montana- 21
Washington- 58
Game starts out close but Washington is just too big and too fast for even Montana.
South Dakota State- 31
Montana State- 22
Bobcats are gonna need to pass to win this game. Which at this point does not bode well for them.
Incarnate Word- 17
Sacramento State- 30
Is Sac as bad as people think? Or is Incarnate Word that much worse?
San Diego- 21
UC Davis- 24
Aggies first win in the Hawkins era
Idaho State- 10
Utah State- 45
Idaho State is no Wisconsin

Official spread on UM/UW is 39, and I'll be pretty happy if they can cover that.

I'm going to confidently predict that Montana will NOT have the biggest losing margin this weekend. I think ISU, WSU and UNC all have a chance of losing bigger...

Hopefully the Bison will hold the Eagles to a lower score than last season, without having to double and triple cover Kupp.

Re: Big Sky Predictions 9-7 thru 9-9 (Week 2)
12-2 so far after somehow thinking NAU would beat Arizona last week. This week is much harder with so many games against the Valley. Here it goes.
CP at Northern Iowa---Mustangs still trying to get on board and now they have their first trip outside of California. Change of scenery, but same result---Northern Iowa 38, CP 20.
North Dakota State at EWU---The mighty Bison are coming in to the Eagles' red turf. Still many questions for the Eagles that need to be answered---North Dakota State 35, EWU 28.
ISU at Utah State---Bengals took care of the lower division, now they head just across the border for a tougher opponent on Thursday---Utah State 41, ISU 7.
UM at Washington---Grizzlies looked a bit shaky at home last week. Their reward is facing one of the top 10 teams in FBS. Scary thought---Washington 42, UM 10.
South Dakota State at MSU---A case last week for the Bobcats was either playing against the Pac-12, or not getting any offense going. Or maybe both---South Dakota State 28, MSU 14.
Missouri State at UND---The question is can the Hawks' defense contain what looks like an explosive offense, because they should have no problems scoring---UND 35, Missouri State 31.
Western Illinois at NAU---Luckily, the Lumberjacks are not going up against a Pac-12 defense, so their offense should be able to outscore Western Illinois---NAU 42, Western Illinois 24.
UNC at Florida---Bears take a big jump from the NAIA to the SEC this weekend. Very sizeable jump, and no doubt a very sizeable paycheck---Florida 51, UNC 7.
Incarnate Word at SAC---The Hornet defense did well against a strong FBS offense last week. Can they give their offense a chance in this game?---SAC 21, Incarnate Word 17.
SUU at Stephen F Austin---The Thunderbirds took a major blow to the chin last week. They return to the FCS level on the road, hoping for better results---Stephen F Austin 27, SUU 24.
San Diego at UCD---Aggies bring in the other DI football team from San Diego and it should be an improvement from last week. Hawkins' home opener---UCD 28, San Diego 21.
WSU at California---What was thought to be a great opportunity for the Wildcats may have soured a bit after Cal's win last week. Not that the Wildcats won't keep it close---California 28, WSU 24.
CP at Northern Iowa---Mustangs still trying to get on board and now they have their first trip outside of California. Change of scenery, but same result---Northern Iowa 38, CP 20.
North Dakota State at EWU---The mighty Bison are coming in to the Eagles' red turf. Still many questions for the Eagles that need to be answered---North Dakota State 35, EWU 28.

Based on our recent vs FBS history, I will be tickled purple if Weber can stay within 10 points let alone 4.
Cal is favored by 28 points and I think that will be pretty close to accurate.

Re: Big Sky Predictions 9-7 thru 9-9 (Week 2)
Thursday
Idaho St. 10-45 Utah St. — A bad Big Sky team versus a bad Mountain West team. Who wouldn't watch this?
Saturday
NoDak St. 38-24 EWU — The rest of the Eags aren't good enough to compensate if the passing game falters
Cal Poly 14-27 Yunie — If there's one thing you can count on the Panthers to do, it's stop the run
San Diego 28-24 Davis — This one looks a little more interesting than it did a week ago
UIW 21-38 Sac State — The Hornets aren't very good, but they aren't bottom-of-the-Southland bad
Suutah 34-31 SFA — The T-Birds should be the better team, but you never know what the Texas humidity will do
Weber 28-52 Cal — Weber dodged Beau Baldwin in 2016; they don't get that luxury this year
Willynois 42-45 NAU — The real Big Sky game of the week
Montana 17-52 UDub — We still don't know how good the Griz are, but that doesn't really matter here
SoDak St. 37-24 Montana St. — The Jackrabbits are a complete team; the Bobcats aren't
NoCo - Florida — Cancelled due to Hurricane Irma
Misery St. 20-37 NoDak — The F-Hawks finally get to avenge 2014's 38-0 drubbing
Idaho St. 10-45 Utah St. — A bad Big Sky team versus a bad Mountain West team. Who wouldn't watch this?

Re: Big Sky Predictions 9-7 thru 9-9 (Week 2)
Sounds like the best player on the Bison defense is out for the season with an ACL injury. 2nd year in a row for him, and end of a great career at NDSU. Took this shot of him before the Mississippi Valley St game last weekend.
