I dont know what the heck happened to the guins. its like the NDSU game took all the confidence from them............ hopefully they bounce back because they can only afford to lose 1 more game and still make the playoffs

You play ISU-b to close out the regular season, right? That one could be a monster game.

[mmiller_34]

USD (0-4 1-6) @ ISU-b (4-1 5-2) - Roll Trees

WIU (1-3 2-4) @ MSU (2-3 2-6) - Missouri State is hot, Western is not.

YSU (1-3 4-3) @ SDSU (3-1 5-2) - Hobo Day/must win for SDSU, Youngstown State very cold right now.

SIU (4-1 5-3) @ NDSU (3-1 6-1) - Salukis hot, but run into a rock in Fargo.

ISU-r (3-2 6-2) @ UNI (1-3 1-5) - UNI won't lose another game this year.

[BisonBacker]

10 USD (0-4 1-6) @ 1 ISU-b (4-1 5-2)As with all of their games ISU's D will win this one.

7 WIU (1-3 2-4) @ 6 MSU (2-3 2-6) Tough one to call but MSU seems to be playing better no.

7 YSU (1-3 4-3) @ 3 SDSU (3-1 5-2)After the beating from NDSU YSU just hasn't been the same.

1 SIU (4-1 5-3) @ 3 NDSU (3-1 6-1)SIU won't be able to solve NDSU's defense. NDSU continues its winning ways.

5 ISU-r (3-2 6-2) @ 7 UNI (1-3 1-5)UNI has been down but ISU'r is going to run into another tough team on the road. UNI by a TD.

[swaghook]

USD @ISU-b

WIU @ MSU

YSU @ SDSU

SIU @ NDSU

ISU-r @ UNI

[Drblankstare]

All home teams this week.

[Professor Chaos]

South Dakota @ Indiana St - Tough couple weeks for the Yotes offense having to play two of the top defenses in the nation. Sycs roll.
Western Illinois @ Missouri St - Two pretty evenly matched teams so I'll give the home team the nod.
Youngstown St @ South Dakota St - Sounds like the playing surface at CAS will be ugly, I'll take the Jacks in a low scoring affair.
Southern Illinois @ North Dakota St - SIU has a stifling defnese that always seems to hold the Bison down but NDSU's defense is better and does the same to the Saluki O. Bison win ugly.
Illinois St @ Northern Iowa - UNI puts another serious dent in the Redbirds playoff hopes.

[birdsflyhigh]

Looks like I'm the only one picking the Birds this week. A couple of weeks ago, everyone picked YSU > ISU, and I went against the grain, so I've got The Birds > UNI. Basically, if The Birds don't win 2 of the last 3, then they'll be on shaky ground come playoff selection time. Seems like The Birds play much better when their backs are against the wall.

MVFC week #9 winners:

Trees
Bears
Jacks
Bison
Birds

Should be another rock 'em/sock 'em weekend in The Valley....love it!! xrotatehx

[WrenFGun]

Not an MVFC guy, but I think all 5 home teams will win.

[Jacked_Rabbit]

Some interesting (and rather large) spreads this week:

USD @ Ind. St. -21
YSU @ SDSU -6
Ill. St. @ UNI -10
WIU @ MSU -10
SIU @ NDSU -20

[footballer23]

oops i already picked

[Sycamore51]

USD @ Ind. St. -21
YSU @ SDSU -6
Ill. St. @ UNI -10
WIU @ MSU -10
SIU @ NDSU -20

I'm not sure we can score 21. If we cover that spread it may have to be a 21-0 score

[Jacked_Rabbit]

I'm not sure we can score 21. If we cover that spread it may have to be a 21-0 score

And a 21-0 Final would only be a push... haha

Maybe you'll go for two, up by 3 TD's, and win 22-0?! We'll see what happens, but I think USD covers.

[Professor Chaos]

The offense can't but the defense probably could xthumbsupx

[skinny_uncle]

1 SIU (4-1 5-3) @ 3 NDSU (3-1 6-1)SIU won't be able to solve NDSU's defense. NDSU continues its winning ways.

You might keep the Saluki Offense from scoring but can you keep their special teams and D from scoring?

[UNIFanSince1983]

I'm not sure we can score 21. If we cover that spread it may have to be a 21-0 score

Against USD I predict Shakir will run wild

[underdawg]

-20 for the Bison vs SIU game?

[steelbison]

If that's what your hanging your hat on good luck with that.

Seriously, who would go into a game thinking our Defense and special teams are more dangerous than our offense!!! xlolx


Your defense has been bend but don't break...getting two 100 yd returns for touchdowns...that's fools gold

NDSU had their wake-up call. don't expect to be in this game for long...Not with that offense you have.

[Twentysix]

I wonder if bohl prepared for the bubble screen. ;)

[Jacked_Rabbit]

-20 for the Bison vs SIU game?

It's now at NDSU -21.5...

[underdawg]

It's now at NDSU -21.5...

So what was the line on the YSU vs SIU game? I can't seem to locate the week 8 predictions.

[Bisonforlife]

I Agree with TwentySix on these picks xnodx

It worked for Indy State.

xeekx That's a "NO ****" LOL!! ^^ Good luck the rest of the year xbowx

YSU was favored by 7.

A win against wiu and an impossible win against uni would give TA back his title of winningest coach in the MVFC.

[Twentysix]

A win against wiu and an impossible win against uni would give TA back his title of winningest coach in the MVFC.

Kind of fitting that it would come against UNI, no? Winningest meaning percentage or shear # of wins?

[clenz]

Total wins....not impressive considering Farley has the record and has been coaching 3 or 4 seasons less in the MVFC than TA.


That assuming UNI doesn't win another game this year as well....

[BeardifulBobb]

10 USD (0-4 1-6) @ 1 ISU-b (4-1 5-2) As much as I want USD to win, its not gonna happen. The Trees aren't going
to have a big of a win as the Bison did.

7 WIU (1-3 2-4) @ 6 MSU (2-3 2-6) Missouri State is a good team, they just have been giving up too many turnovers

7 YSU (1-3 4-3) @ 3 SDSU (3-1 5-2) Close game but SDSU has the edge

1 SIU (4-1 5-3) @ 3 NDSU (3-1 6-1) If defense does what it's been doing all season, and the run game gets
going early, the Bison will be fine.

5 ISU-r (3-2 6-2) @ 7 UNI (1-3 1-5) Just feels like the right pick

I agree with this.

SIU has been very opportunistic on defense and special teams.

I do not see their offense moving the ball consistently against the Bison defense.

[Sycamore51]

The USD game has me worried today. I know they're not nearly as bad as their record, and I worried our guys think this game is already a win and are looking ahead to the next two weeks.

I don't think you got the highlight reel from last weeks game.

USD is as bad as their record, in terms of the MVFC. Luck is not why NDSU beat them 54-0. Indiana State should not have much trouble winning by atleast 14.

apparently you're correct, it's 28-0 ISU midway thru the 2nd quarter.

[DoubleE]

why does south dakota state play their games in a high school stadium ?

[Jacked_Rabbit]

The local high school gets to play in a college stadium...

35-7 at the half. Looks like we're playing the Brookings High School team today!

Right on all counts.
