Big Sky Predictions 10-5
Posted: Wed Oct 02, 2024 7:03 pm
After suffering through a brutal opening week of conference play, I am now at 42-10 for the year. That first week showed how competitive the conference is going to be this year which makes the picking all the more difficult. Therefore, a perfect week is possible, but not likely, and anyone who does achieve a perfect week deserves a pat on the back. Here are my predictions for this week's slate of games. Some good ones out there.
WSU at UM---The Wildcats will truly see how good they are as they move on over to the Grizzlies's den for a strong matchup. The Grizzlies are eaget to come home after a free for all last week on the road. Can the Wildcats continue on their feel good ways and come through with a win in a tough place to play?...UM 31, WSU 20.
UNC at MSU---The Bears took a tumble out of the starting gate and lost a tough one at home to their cellar dweller mates. They now approach the other side of the spectrum as they enter the Bobcats lair for a tough one. Meanwhile, the Bobcats are rolling and should not have any problem with this game...MSU 48, UNC 7.
UCD at PSU---The Aggies got a strong home win over a tough foe last week, opening some eyes in doing it. The Vikings return to conference play after a quick trip back east. Can the Aggies build on their feel good fortunes from last week and get a conference road win? Can the Vikings find their defense?...UCD 35, PSU 21.
NAU at UI---The Lumberjacks showed last week that they can compete this year with the upper echelon of the conference, at least at home. Can they do it on the road? A strong test awaits them against a disappointed Vandal squad smarting from a tough road loss to open conference play...UI 24, NAU 21.
ISU at CP---The Bengals welcomed the top team last week to their house and succumbed to a defeat. This game should be easier as they feel they are much better than one of the bottom teams. But the Mustangs come it riding a win on the road last week and this is at their house. Might be tough...CP 21, ISU 17.
