Big Sky Predictions - Week 9

[Mvemjsunpx]

Sac State 42-21 Cal Poly — A relative letdown is possible, but the 'Stang defense just won't have enough answers

Weber 27-23 Davis — It's a must win for Davis, but they've looked too sketchy for me to trust them

Idaho St. 31-35 Suutah — The T-Birds are bad, but the Bengals have been worse on the road

Portland St. 31-41 NAU — The Viks may be 5-3, but their schedule has been nonexistent so far

EWU 38-33 Montana — Tough call, but Dalton Sneed is out/hobbled and Eastern has to win to stay alive

Montana St. 28-31 NoDak — The Alerus Center is a tough place to win

62-10 so far this season. The way the season has gone, it seems just pick the home team and see what happens. This weekend there are some games that may test that theory. Here is my quest for that elusive perfect Saturday.

EWU at UM---The Eagles had an extra week to prepare and the Grizzlies' quarterback got hurt last week. The Eagles seem to enjoy playing in Missoula, but this year has not been kind to road teams and the Grizzlies come in with a salty taste in their mouths...UM 38, EWU 21.

ISU at SUU---The Bengals have looked really good at home, but have looked really bad on the road. Still, coming on the road to play a hapless Thunderbirds squad so be easy pickings. But the Thunderbirds have shown some life at home and could steal this...SUU 28. ISU 21.

MSU at North Dakota---The Bobcats had an extra week to prepare for this game at a tough place to play. Interesting matchup for the Bobcats as North Dakota is putting together a pretty good season. The Hawks may need this game to keep their playoff aspirations...North Dakota 31, MSU 28.

PSU at NAU---Interesting matchup here as the Vikings have not looked good on the road, although they got a road win last week. The Lumberjacks gave up a ton of yards on the ground last week which plays to the Vikings strength. Good thing it is at home...NAU 28, PSU 26.

SAC at CP---This is unfamiliar territory for the Hornets as they are now the hunted. Going on the road to face a strong Mustang team may not be what the doctor ordered especially with a big game next week. Can the Hornets remain focused or can the Mustangs score an upset at home...SAC 38, CP 30.

WSU at UCD---The Wildcats may seem a bit shaky but they still find ways to win. Game 1 in their Causeway stretch finds them against a desperate Aggies team who may be reclaiming momentum after a bad start. The Aggies need a home win to keep their playoff dreams alive...UCD 29, WSU 28.

"Spread"? Is that from Lost Wages? FCS games don't show up in the odds listed in our local paper, which REALLY ticks me off....

[SDHornet]

Sac State - trap game, I think it'll be closed than people think
ISU
NAU
EWU - assuming Sneed is out
MSU
dungpilers - blowout

The spread is from 5dimes, which is based in Costa Rica.

They know about Portland State football in Costa Rica? We are making progress.

Well, the guy who founded 5dimes—William Sean Creighton—was from Connecticut. While looking up this info earlier, I discovered that Creighton was kidnapped & murdered about a year ago.

A guy sets up an off-shore gambling site and gets offed? Shocker.

Welp, I was wrong on almost everything this week but I'm 2/2 on the reverse blowout jinx on the year .

I didn't watch the griz game but checked up on the scores, they totally dominated the last 25 minutes of the game. Wow.

I thought CP would put up more of a fight. Wow they are pretty bad.

Can't be perfect but I'll take missing one every week. 67-11 for the year.

We both did way better than 5dimes. They went 2-4 this week.

Yeah the first half of the Griz game was close and it felt like they just couldn't do anything right. Then the second half was 100% Griz. All three phases played well.
