Congratulations to Mayville Bison on winning the regular season MVFC picks.
Myself, The Kingpin28, Paladin1aa were tied for 2nd place only 2 games behind (Please contact SHSU fans for a runner up shirt design http://www.anygivensaturday.com/images/smilies/lol.gif)

Rules;
1. 1 point per game picked right.
2. For tie breaker purposes pick the total score of the game.

North Dakota State University vs James Madison University

Dewey

[dewey]

My pick should be no surprise to anyone.

Winner

North Dakota State University

NDSU 24 JMU 20 (Total 44)

Dewey

[cx500d]

JMU

[dewey]

To all,

I hope I didn't make any mistakes but I have just about every week so if anyone sees anything please let me know.

Dewey

[ST_Lawson]

VMI

....

it's not like I can move up that far with one game anyway, right?

[TheKingpin28]

I am awful at picking the playoffs.

Give me NDSU for 2000 Alex!

27-21

[Gil Dobie]

Thee North Dakota State University

This is NDSU's FBS game, 23-21.

[Professor Chaos]

Well, I still got a shot to beat carribeanhen in the playoffs with the tie breaker since I'm sure he's going to pick "the Paul of the CAA".

So I'll say NDSU 24, JMU 20

Here's to one final drink of the MVFC Kool-Aid in 2017!

[POD Knows]

JMU 24 NDSU 17 Let her ride.

[Bison56]

Even though they have no chance I'm going out on a limb and picking NDSU.

I could wimp out and pick NDSU to win, by doing so I clinch the playoff round in the name of Puerto rico right? I'm not the big JMU fan by any means, but concede I like watching talent play in football games

But that wouldn't be any fun. ;)

Plus, assuming MayvilleBison takes NDSU, you could tie for the full season lead if you pick JMU.

yeah predicting Mayvillebison is going to pick the Bison is like predicting the sun is going to rise tomorrow

[Bisonator]

Bison win 24-20

[Redbird 4th & short]

And in what is turning out to be a very hotly contested battle for 7th place, posters are jostling to improve their chances.

Only way for me to catch Bison NW MN is to pick JMU. But that will just put us in a 3 way tie for 7th if JMU wins ... and worse yet, a tie for 8th, if JMU loses. And ties are worse than taking your sister to the prom ... way worse if it is a hot step sister .. but I digress. I'd rather lock up 8th place all by myself .. so I'm staying home for prom this year and going with NDSU over JMU in what should b a very good game. NDSU run offense will be difference in an otherwise evenly matched game.

I should have said Trebek instead of Alex. I know I messed up somewhere.

Does your score prediction change if JMU plays game with a "Mini Coach" Houston ???

Yes I have but now it get's more complicated as you are finally playing another FBS team....

So no Streamers allowed? this might sway my pick towards the Bison..... it's that close

Definitely more tears in 2010 at EWU

End of January made reservations, August bought my Natty tickets as usual.

that's the place! Man I'm getting homesick now.. It's been a while since I was hanging around there but reportedly it's been discovered and is not so quaint these days

[caribbeanhen]

Dewey, if you're really going to that Delaware a game in 2019 you should really consider getting down to Dewey Beach for a few days

imagine the possibilities

stopping at the welcome to Dewey beach sign for a picture you can tell your son that you're the mayor

it will be right after Labor Day so the crowd should be a little bit less but I'm not sure that's true anymore

you can smell real salt air and let the Atlantic surf with real ocean water run over your toes as the water should still be warm enough in September

it's a real family oriented place and right in the shadows of Rehobeth Beach which is very well known for its Atlantic coast style boardwalk

French fries with no Ketchup and only vinegar and salt

Grotto pizza the legendary taste

miniature golf is always better when you can see the ocean

Funland with all the kiddie rides

you might even get a glimpse of KC Keeler as he owns a condo in Rehobeth beach. Haha

I would strongly recommend to anyone living in the Midwest that is making the trip to Delaware in 2019 to get down to the Delaware beaches even if it's just to spend the day

I told the boss, aka the wife, about taking a family vacation out there in 2019. She is on board.

So I think there is a great chance we do it.

Check out the beach real estate here. Some are as high as $70,000 a month in rent.

[POD Knows]

don't pretend like you're not oneYea, but I am not paying 6K to live in a 100 square foot apartment. When you have an average wage in San Diego being 8K to 10K less a year than Fargo and housing being astronomically higher, the math just doesn't work. I simply cannot figure out how this works out there.

Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using TapatalkYou would think all that wealth would jack the average income of the area up but I get the demographic deal. I was in Naples, Fla once and in was one $200K car after another and then when the housing market crashed, I could have bought beautiful condos all day long for between 100K and 200K. I wonder if there is any data that would show the average income in some of these suburbs like the section you had on the material you showed.

It's no better than the Midwest. The value is in the land and the weather.

Well now in 72 hours we will know who the winner of the game is

I think it's about time to get serious about making a pick.

Nope, Kool Aide drinking does not apply at this late stage of the season, anyone picking NDSU to win it totally legit

Now picking Nor Iowa over S Utah on the road is another story....

thanks for clarifying that.

what is the Line on this game anyway? not that it will matter with my pickI think the line was NDSU -3.5. It is somewhere in the NDSU JMU game thread. Probably the last day or so.

It's at NDSU -4 right now on 5dimes with an O/U of 48 so they're predicting NDSU 26, JMU 22.

The O/U has moved up from about 44 or 44.5 when it opened I believe and NDSU opened as a 3 point favorite.

You can track it yourself at https://www.5dimes.eu/livelines/livelines.aspx and just checking the "College" box in the upper right since there's only two college football games left this year (they already have odds on the Week 0 2018 college football games).

The Vegas sports books are starting to put lines up for this game as well. Westgate has NDSU -4 with an O/U of 46.5 and William Hill has NDSU -3.5 with an O/U of 47 (http://www.vegasinsider.com/college-football/odds/las-vegas/). I think most of the major sports books in Vegas will have a line posted on this game by Saturday but they generally wait until just a day or two before the game before opening it.

Their record at "neutral" sites is even better. ;)

True but Sammy is not invited this year.... JMU is by far the best team you have seen in Frisco.....

Winner: James Madison takes back to back Championships

You need a total points or score prediction for the tie breaker though.

more thoughts on the game coming up....

Well, I still got a shot to beat carribeanhen in the playoffs with the tie breaker since I'm sure he's going to pick "the Paul of the CAA".

So I'll say NDSU 24, JMU 20

haha, I think the way the game played out illustrates why I had such a hard time picking a winner.... don't forget I gave you this oppurtunity out of the goodness of my heart......as I tried to think this game thru logically several times the Bison kept winning half of em....

Let's do it again next year!

[Redbird 4th & short]

And in what is turning out to be a very hotly contested battle for 7th place, posters are jostling to improve their chances.

Only way for me to catch Bison NW MN is to pick JMU. But that will just put us in a 3 way tie for 7th if JMU wins ... and worse yet, a tie for 8th, if JMU loses. And ties are worse than taking your sister to the prom ... way worse if it is a hot step sister .. but I digress. I'd rather lock up 8th place all by myself .. so I'm staying home for prom this year and going with NDSU over JMU in what should b a very good game. NDSU run offense will be difference in an otherwise evenly matched game.

On TV, it looked like there was very little purple outside the two areas on the sideline and endzone in JMU's allotment. The rest was all green and yellow.

The "neutral sections" were definitely dominated by NDSU from what I saw being there. JMU definitely did use all their allotment though (which was close to 5500). I'd say other than that they probably had 1,000-2,000 fans speckled in the neutral sections and SRO so I'd guess that it was about 12,000 NDSU and 7,000 JMU or a little more than 60-40 in favor of NDSU.

From a non-biased source, one of our fans/alumni was at the game and said that his estimation from his perspective was about the same or a little more towards NDSU. He said ~65% to ~35%.
Here's where he was sitting, btw:

Well, the MVFC finishes the season 27-13 vs non-MVFC teams.

Imagine going to Vegas and better, straight up, and betting on the MVFC team every single time, no matter who they played and still coming out with a better than 2:1 win rate.

Clearly you'd be suffering from some kind of bias.

Oh..against the FCS the MVFC went 25-7

I can't imagine why MVFC fans would continue to pick MVFC teams to win against non-MVFC teams.

I have a sheet somewhere. Definitely didn't put 2016 in it but I have every year from 1985-2015 (I think) on it.

[clenz]

Found it.

2015 was 30-2

Haven't added 2016 to it....

How far back you wanna go?

This year was 78% vs the FCS. There are 4 seasons better than that since the start of the 2011 season (without knowing the 2016 totals


Without 2016 11 times the MVFC has had a win% of 70% of better vc the FCS
Every year since 1995 has had a winning record except 2001
19 times since 1995 has it been over 60%

Doing a quick 2016 math run quick

I checked 2016 totals in like 2 minutes...remember this is FCS only so it's leaving off like 6 FBS wins in 2016

80% of the time you're going to be wrong.

Since 2002 the MVFC is 277-99 vs FCS schools not from the MVFC - actually the counts games against current MVFC members as members of the great west even....so be it.

That is 379 games
It is a 78.9% win %

Even blind bias picking tells us you're going to be wrong 80% of the time you pick SUU.

Of those 99 losses over almost half of them belong to Missouri State, Indiana State, and South Dakota

Basically outside of those 3 schools, based on history, it's a bad bet to pick against any other MVFC member

More importantly, the really good news is ... I'm in sole possession of 8th place !!!! Which means I get to take the really hot step sister to prom instead of my chain smoking aunt !!!!!
