Rivalry week in the Big Sky and also the last weekend in conference play. The talk is how many teams will go to the playoffs. This week is make or break for many teams. Heading in to the last week I am sitting at 63-21. Even a perfect week (tough to do during rivalry week) I'll still fall short of 70 correct bur perfection would be great.

EWU at PSU---The Vikings have been playing well the second half of the season and regardless, they've usually played the Eagles tough. The Eagles regained control of the conference and do not want to risk giving that up with a loss here...EWU 38, PSU 31.

UI at Florida---The Vandals completed their conference slate last week with a ugly home loss to Montana. Their reward is to be cannon fodder for the mighty Florida team from the fearsome SEC conference. At least the weather should be great...Florida 49, UI 10.

MSU at UM---The Brawl of the Wild and both teams are playing well coming in to it. To add some mystique, the winner may be in line to receive a playoff spot. For both the Bobcats and the Grizzlies, that is remarkable considering how the season has gone...MSU 28, UM 24.

North Dakota at NAU---The Lumberjacks are reeling and beat up, have been for awhile now. But they are still rather dangerous and playing for pride. They could end North Dakota's playoff hopes with a home win. That sounds great but will it happen?...North Dakota 24, NAU 17.

SAC at UCD---Wildfires have put this game in jeopardy. The Hornets would probably want to pack it in while the Aggies would love to play. Playoff hopes on the line for the Aggies if they do play although it is assumed they are in already...UCD 48, SAC 14.

SUU at CP---The Mustangs came through with a big home win last week and have been looking better at the end of the season. The Thunderbirds, however, have been competitive but can't seem to get the win. The Mustangs are riding high and want to end on a positive note...CP 31, SUU 21.

WSU at ISU---The Bengals playoff hopes took a serious hit last weekend, to the point that they probably have to win this game to make the playoffs. The Wildcats should be in but they don't want to leave any doubt in the eyes of the committee...ISU 40, WSU 28.

Friday

EWU 38-27 Portland St. — The Viks haven't beaten Eastern at home since 2008; will Hillsboro be different?


Saturday

Suutah 28-42 Cal Poly — Joe Protheroe should get Big Sky MVP simply for making it to the end of the season alive

Sac 17-48 Davis — Hornet fans are hoping for a cancellation so the Aggies will be denied a Big Sky title

Weber 34-30 Idaho St. — The Bengals could actually make the playoffs for the first time in 35 years

NoDak 31-17 NAU — The Skydome is dangerous, but what's left of the Lumberjack QB stable isn't

Montana St. 24-26 Montana — The Griz will win because neither of these teams deserves to be in the playoffs

Idalol 7-52 Floreida French Fries — I bet Paul Petrino is regretting that contract extension right about now

EWU 38 at PSU 20---The Eagles are flying high again after thumping UC Davis. Now a road game against the upstart Vikings. I like what the Viks have done this year but this game may be a bit much to earn a W.

UI 17 at Florida 56---If UI let UM thump them at home, then what will Florida do to them?

North Dakota 28 at NAU 17 ---NAU's seasonal swoon will end after this game.

SAC 27 at UCD 35---Hopefully this game happens.

SUU 17 at CP 28---CP is finally turning the corner after the SD playoff loss from a couple years ago.

WSU 38 at ISU 35---This is a tough one to predict and could go any which way. I'll pick the BBQ with a 2OT W.

MSU 28 at UM 24---This one too is a tough one to predict and could go any which way. On paper MSU seems to have the upper hand, but this is a huge rivalry game and it is in Missoula. I'll go with my Blue and Gold colored glasses and pick MSU.

EWU beat PSU- 51-17
Florida will beat Idaho. It'll be ugly
Cal Poly will beat SUU
UC Davis over Sac State if they get to play it
North Dakota will take care of NAU
My heart wants Idaho State to win but I think Weber will beat the Bengals
Montana State will beat the Griz

That was well worth the drive from SW Portland to watch that. :-) fwiw. I prefer games at Hillsboro even though its significantly further, at least you can tailgate there.
