Big Sky Predictions 9-16

[JALMOND]

Everyone that is playing in the conference this week plays on Saturday. Cal Poly, Montana State and NAU are sitting this week out. I am at 22-4 so far this year, hoping for improvement. Here we go.

EWU at Fordham---Eagles lack of success makes this game not really great. And Montana is on the schedule next week...Fordham 27, EWU 24.

ISU at Nevada---Bengals confused, they think they can compete in the Mountain West. Idaho tried that and are returning next season...Nevada 38, ISU 14.

Savannah State at UM---OK, this game for the Grizzlies should be over by halftime. It should be. Right?...UM 45, Savannah State 14.

UND at South Dakota---In a preview of things to come, the Hawks head down the road to play a strong Mo Valley team...UND 21, South Dakota 17.

UNC at Colorado---Bears got a reprieve last week with the hurricane. No such luck here as the game will go on...Colorado 48, UNC 7.

Northern Iowa at SUU---After a good showing last week, the Thunderbirds welcome a strong Mo Valley program to their town...SUU 35, Northern Iowa 31.

UCD at PSU---Aggies get to play someone outside of the city of San Diego, Vikings took last week off after playing two FBS money games...PSU 28, UCD 14.

WSU at SAC---Wildcats have shown they are for real this season. They head into an unfriendly place for them, the Hornet's nest...WSU 27, SAC 20.

Bonus pick for my friend, Mr. T---Cowboys get a marquee win over the Ducks...Wyoming 38, Oregon 35. xlolx

EWU 32-35 Chevyham — Both teams look equally disappointing, so I'll stick with my preseason pick

Davis 24-35 Portland St. (NC) — Whoever wins this could be a legitimate dark horse

Weber 28-17 Sac State (NC) — The home team is 16-4 in this series, but still…

Idaho St. 21-52 Nevada — The Bengals experience deja vu from last week

UNI 24-27 Suutah — Tough call, but the Panther pass defense looks pretty vulnerable

Savannah 10-45 Montana — The Tigers weren't as bad as usual last season, but they were still pretty bad

NoCo 14-41 Colorado — First meeting in 83 years? Really?

NoDak 27-24 SoDak — South Dakota's run defense was terrible last year, so I can't quite trust it now

I don't know enough about all the teams to be specific other than:

EWU 44 Fordham 24
-Still think EWU is being judged too harshly. This week will determine a lot.

USD 31 UND 17
-USD has an electricity about them (Technical football term). I think they stay hot and jump on UND early.

UNI 35 SUU 27

Fordham
Portland State
Weber State

I am going out on a limb and predict that neither Cal Poly or NAU will lose this week before their big Big Sky opening matchup in two weeks.

Here is a quick tally on what may be the close games:
EWU VS Dodgeham
3 ............. 4

UND VS USD
4 ......... 3

UNI VS SUU
3 ......... 4

UCD VS PSU
0 ......... 6

WSU VS Sac
6 .......... 0

I find it interesting no one has picked Sac, as the home team, to have a chance.

He made it happen all over the field, however our receivers dropped between 3-5 balls that hit them easy in the hands...they aren't doing him any favors on the stat line front (which is what the Payton is usually all about)

USD scores again! USD up 31-0 over UND.

I figured it would take another win before what I felt was a solid win against SD mattered.

UC Davis 37
Portland State 14 (just got a late touchdown)

4-4 for the conference (4-5 including Mr. T's pick). 26-8 overall. Bad week.

The talent gap of EWU over Fordham should have flipped your pick. Most of the Big Sky should have won that game.
