Week 12 games, Saturday Nov 16th:

Northern Iowa @ Youngstown State
Illinois State @ Indiana State
South Dakota @ North Dakota
Murray State @ *Kentucky (OOC/FBS)
Southern Illinois @ South Dakota State
Missouri State @ North Dakota State

Idle vs Idle! First time since week 3 that all Valley teams are playing in a given week. That week of course featured USD losing to whooping cough.

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

Week 11 summary:

Sorry for the late posting... it's been a week...

Southern Illinois finished off an incredible 28-point comeback to take down the Penguins of Youngstown State, and SDSU handed UND just their 4th home loss since 2019, a year that they just happened to still be a member of the Big Sky. Who are those 4 teams? SDSU twice ('24 and '22), Sac State in the '23 playoffs, and NDSU in '21. 29 other teams attempted and lost in the Alerus center through that time. Oh, what The Hawks could have been without their 7-24 record on the road through that same time.... 87.9% home winning record, 22.6% away. Truly incredible splits.

Quite a bit of variety in the picks this past week too! Illinois State vs UNI tied for the most disparity of picks in a game this year (7 to 5), tying Illinois State at Southern Illinois in week 6 - also a 7-5 pick'em outcome. Illinois State won that matchup too... I guess you need to quit sleeping on the Redbirds, folks.

TrooperCoats with a major gamble on the F'ing Hawks to pull off a MAJOR upset in the shopping mall, which paid out no dividends and turned into a brutal week of picks, solidifying himself at the bottom of the full-time pickers. I would say it couldn't have happened to a better fan... but that would be abusing my position of power here in running this little challenge... so I won't be saying it! ;)

And by virtue of the 5-0 record from last week, yours truly makes a first appearance on the top of the leaderboard! I WON'T make a comment that this took so long to post because I was rigging the system or finding votes... that would get political, which is what I'm NOT doing! All picks have been certified in a public forum setting, time stamped, and sealed. The utmost security!

If the Bison are going to drop one of their last two games I would prefer it be this one, but I don’t see it happening.

Northern Iowa @ Youngstown State
Illinois State @ Indiana State
South Dakota @ North Dakota
Murray State @ *Kentucky (OOC/FBS)
Southern Illinois @ South Dakota State
Missouri State @ North Dakota State - This one is a no brainer, I am sorry to say that the best QB in the MVFC is not Cam Miller of NDSU or that Polack kid from SDSU, it is Clark from Mo State. The Bison D will get exposed early and the slow start and 3 score deficit will not be overcome. Also, the coaching staff, players and pretty much everybody in the Bison orbit are not focused on the task at hand but dwelling in the greatness and glory of the impending MWC invite. Eyes off the prize, an overwhelmed defense means a 35 -24 loss at home. #BOOKIT

UNI and UND let me down, LOL. I'll make it all up in the final two weeks - you all don't realize I've been setting you up all year...

Here is where I make my move:

Northern Iowa @ Youngstown State Playing for Farley
Illinois State @ Indiana State Going against Ill St has burned me all season - no reason to learn anything now
South Dakota @ North Dakota Yotes have gone to UND as the better team a lot of times and lost in some pretty improbable ways
Murray State @ *Kentucky (OOC/FBS)
Southern Illinois @ South Dakota State
Missouri State @ North Dakota State I don't think MSU goes 0-2 in their final two...
