Spread - Bison by 4.5

Massey - Bison by 6

[Grizzlies1982]

Just have a feeling this is one of those rare years No Dakota State is out before the Championship game.
Regardless, I'm taking the winner of this one to be the ultimate champs.

Bison by 7.

Streamers head to FBS without a title game.

NDSU opened yesterday -5.5 and it’s still showing that as of now.

I figured as far as the oddsmakers were concerened these are 2 evenly matched teams. With the normal +3 home/-3 away I figured if the game was @ JMU would be JMU -3, neutral field +/- 0. But instead instead of @ NDSU -3, I’m assuming NDSU gets double at the dome, so I was guessing NDSU would open up -6. Pretty close.

-NDSU: No QB listed.

You need 15 attempts a game to rank in that stat (Miller has 10.9, Patterson has 8.4).

Since the beginning of the season, the Bison have a new #1 RB, QB, TE, and the #1WR hasn't played in the playoffs yet. Best D-Line player is also out for the year. Except for the 1st quarter last week, they have been playing fairly well the last 5 games, mainly running the ball.

[Ivytalk]

Which one should I root for? Russia or Red China?

[Winterborn]

Heart say's dback is right.

Head say's Grizzlies1982 is right.

Either way hoping it is a clean game. Tailgating will be cooler but it is always fun at a night game. Going to be a bit brisk at 14 F but almost no wind.

[Gil Dobie]

It will be a tough order to beat "The Dynasty". Entz said they will attack JMU's weakness and try and make them 1 dimensional. Good luck finding that weakness. First team to 30 wins.

Wished this was the FCS TITLE GAME!!!

This will be a NFL AUDITION for the JMU QB he had obvious size 6-5 220

If Watson is out for the Bison then they have the best backup plan in the playoffs with Mathis if he were with anybody else he is a automatic starter.

You need a comma in there. FYP.

JMU fans appear more confident than Bison fans, which makes sense. They have a better coach, better QB, better receivers, better dbacks. The only hope for the Bison, is for the defense to get to the QB and make him hurry his passes. Otherwise, it will be difficult to stop "The Dynasty".

Same site with fake facts. NDSU is not 0-2 on the road, they are 1-2 on the road in the playoffs.

Cignetti's presser from early this week. Questions from JMU, Harrisoburg & VA media. Also N Dakota media.


What sucks is JMU‘s very good football beat writer for about the past 5 years from the Harrsionburg Daily News Record moved up to FBS- about 6 weeks ago he left for Charlottesville to cover UVA. Fill in who is juggling football and b-ball hasn‘t been as good. New guy starts next week.
