2024 MVFC Pick 'Em - Week 7

[RahRahRabbits]

Week 7 games, Saturday Oct 12:

Missouri State @ Illinois State
Murray State @ Indiana State
Youngstown State @ South Dakota State
Northern Iowa @ South Dakota
North Dakota State @ Southern Illinois

North Dakota vs Idle

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Big blowouts in 4 of the 5 games this week --- NDSU took care of business in the MVFC and FCS game of the week. USD, SDSU, and Illinois State all put up some big numbers and held their opponents to very little (or nothing). Indiana State made it awfully interesting though, driving down to the 12 yard line for a potential game-tying TD in the final minutes before stalling out and going backwards. 12 of 12 pickers gave the nod to YSU... so that was nearly a 'major upset'.

Seven pickers had a perfect 5-0 record this week, a few went 4-1, and a couple 3-2s. Getting a bit more separation in the standings now. The Cats --- not sure why no picks this week and only a vote... but you've lost your grip on 1st place. Hope you choose to return!

Unanimous week? Maybe a couple people with MSU over ISU? Or maybe even MSU over ISU?

Is it a good sign that I'm tied with someone who didn't submit picks last week?

Missouri State @ Illinois State
Murray State @ Indiana State
Youngstown State @ South Dakota State
Northern Iowa @ South Dakota Seems like this is the only reasonable chance for a legit upset?
North Dakota State @ Southern Illinois

Gotta respect your commitment to picking your home team every week! This is the week it could easily go either way for ya. I'm a bit surprised you're the only one of 13 to pick the Racers so far. I leaned toward the trees since it's Terra Haute, but I'd probably vote the other way if it were in Kentucky instead.

And only the 2nd unique pick of the week --- Missouri State over Illinois State. Maybe everyone leaning on the home team for these matchups, but both MSU's at ISU's are extremely close matchups on paper. A bit surprised 12 of 13 pickers agree so far for each that it'll be ISU(red/blue) on top.

I'd be shocked if the Yotes let the Panthers even hang around at all, let alone an actual upset.

No one is giving the Salukis much of a chance. Understandable. Freshman QB and to my knowledge, no healthy backup. It is Homecoming, so who knows.

xlolxI plan on coming to Carbondale in November.. might be a battle for the basement.. you guys are decimated with injuries, and the guins flat out fail in about all facets of the game..

Will still be fun. SIU fans are great hosts.

I think USD will win, but I don't think UNI will have 4 TO's and a punt return TD or whatever they had last week in about a 10 minute span.

The Salukis have more injuries than the Atlanta Braves. Makes things tough.
