MVFC - Week 6

[leatherneck177]

Sorry I had posted the incorrect week number earlier.

I haven't seen this posted yet, so I'll start.

Nicholls State @ UNI - Panthers take care of this one early, win big.
Illinois State @ Indiana State - In a battle of ISU, I go with Red over Blue by 17.
SIU @ NDSU - Despite recent struggles, tough to go against the Bison at home, NDSU by 7.
Youngstown State @ SUU - YSU wins closer than expected.
WIU @ MSU - The Necks in a high scoring affair by 14
McNeese St @ SDSU - McNeese by 10, SDSU is just banged up

[BisonBacker]

Nicholls State @ UNI - UNI bounces back after a tough loss
Illinois State @ Indiana State - Don't know why just because I guess.
SIU @ NDSU - NDSU's back is up against a wall. If they want to make the playoffs this is a must win IMHO
Youngstown State @ SUU - YSU will win but being its a road game I agree it will be closer then some think.
WIU @ MSU - WIU in a rout. Sorry MSU but I don't think you can control Donaldson on the ground.
McNeese St @ SDSU - Can't go against the Rabbits at home they are tough.

And Upset Pick of the week - Missouri State

[siuham]

Nicholls State @ UNI - No chance for Nicholls state. Shut-out watch.
Illinois State @ Indiana State - Nope, not yet, Trees.
SIU @ NDSU - Not picking. SIU has a good chance though. But it's NDSU at home, and Homecoming.
Youngstown State @ SUU - YSU proves they're not in the top 25 by barely beating SUU.
WIU@ MSU - OT win for WIU
McNeese St @ SDSU - I like SDSU at home against a relatively untested McNeese squad. This will be a huge upset.

[UNIFanSince1983]

Not picking UNI game, but thinking they should bounce back even in short week.
Illinois State - big over the Sycamores
NDSU - I think it will just be too tough for SIU in the FargoDome to stop Roehl
YSU - SUU is much improved, but Youngstown will bounce back
MSU - Don't know why, but just a guess
McNeese - I know it is hard to win in Brookings, but think the Cowboys are really tough this year

Nicholls State @ UNI
Panthers rarely lose at home.

Illinois State @ Indiana State

SIU @ NDSU
Bison get it together in the FFD

Youngstown State @ SUU
My least favorite former conference-mate, SUU is always good for a couple chippy personal fouls. YSU runs over them.

WIU @ MSU
WIU looked awfully good to me in Brookings.

McNeese St @ SDSU
Why is our non-conference slate so tough? Cal Poly in two weeks. Ugh. Have to pick the Rabbits, but we know McNeese is really good.

This is a trendy pick every year this game is played. It scares me a bit, but I'm not sure the Bears are up to the Leathernecks level...YET.

We beat you the last time you came to Springfield with one of our worst teams ever.

The only real reason I'm picking us is because Herb absolutely embarassed our defense last season. And if I remember it that much, I'm sure the players that actually played remember it about 300 times more intensely than me and they'll come out to play.

Nicholls State @ UNI (Thursday night game on ESPNU)
Ill State at Indy State (The streak goes on for the Trees)
SIU @ NDSU (Once again, I go with the homer pick)
YSU @ Southern Utah (Penguins need to beat somebody)
WIU @ Misery State (Leathernecks too much for the Bears)
McNeese State @ SDSU (Bunnies pull out another close one)

We weren't exactly a robust squad that year either.
