Spread - Bison by 6.5
Sagarin - Bison by 5
Massey - Bison by 7

Going to be strength vs strength in this one. Good Bison dbacks vs good Montana passing game. Good Bison rushing vs good Montana rushing defense. Difference could be special teams, Griz rushing or Bison passing.

This game wont be close and will be over in the 1st quarter. Ndsu will kick into playoff mode and Griz will turn the ball over. Johnson will lose this game for Montana. Bison secondary is going to take a couple ducks out of the sky and our defense will hold Griz under 250 yards of offense. Typical Big Sky team so they will lay down when things get physical

I've got a Griz upset in this one. No Luepke for NDSU, and I think one of their big OL was lost late in the season too.

Montana d. 3 ND State 42-31

They still smoked NoDak without him.

The O-line and running game won suffer. Biggest losses we 2 D-line players, and a couple players that went to the transfer portal, WR & DB. Both teams are strong where the other is strong on the other side of the field. Should be a good game.

Bison gave up 31 to Arizona. First team to 30 wins.

If we can score 30, I love our chances, but I don't think we'll come close to that.

Despite Gil’s heavy sandbagging, this us not a good matchup for the Griz. Bizon’s minor weakness is against the run. The Griz don’t have much of a rushing attack. Bizon are solid against the pass. On defense the Griz gave 180, 192, 439 to Sac, Weber, and MSU on the ground.

I think the griz are physical up front and can hang with NDSU. That's the main reason I'm going with an upset. Also the griz propensity to fund luck at the right time never ceases to amaze.

Time for Montana to show and prove! This should be a good one!

Griz just got Mellotted by Cam Miller.

14-0 Bison, 5:57 1Q

Lucas Johnson with a 1-yard sneak.

Fake holding penalty negates a Montana strip sack

Disaster for the Griz: Johnson gets hurt on a sack-fumble-TD play for NDSU. It looked like LJ might've been down before the fumble, but the review didn't overturn it. It also appeared that NDSU got away with a face mask on the sack (would've been offsetting because there was holding on UM).

21-10 Bison, :58 2Q

It looked more like illegal contact to me (Hauck shoved the WR down past 5 yards). Of course, the penalty's the same.

I didn't see any replay of it so was just complaining

21-13 NDSU at the half.

Griz get a field goal at the end of the half. 21-13 NDSU at half. Griz get the ball to start the second and it appears Britt will be in at QB.

They didn't show one, oddly. I actually rewound the feed to see what happened.

Corbin Walker with a 58-yard pick-six. They don't go for two for some reason, though.

21-20 Bison; 10:58 3Q

Kobe Johnson answers on the next play with a 75-yard TD run.

28-20, 10:46 3Q

Williams with a 68-yard TD run.
