Jacks you could do us a big favor this week by knocking off UNI, but if you can't do it.. It will make beating them in fargo that much sweeter.

I think the ISUb vs WIU could come down to whether or not Shakir Bell is back for the Sycamores. I might hold out on my picks until I know for sure if he can play or if he will be out.

YSU (2-3 1-2) @ SIU (2-3 1-2)

Youngstown's defense needs to improve. If my beloved Rabbits were able to run against the 'Guins, I feel that Southern Illinois will run all over them.

WIU (2-3 1-1) @ ISUb (4-2 2-1)

I haven't seen WIU play yet. So I have no idea. In conclusion, since I'm uninformed, I will say Indiana State wins with a score of ISUb 2, WIU 1.

USD (4-2) @ ISUr (3-3 2-2)

The Coyotes are good. I have no problem with them being successful. I just wish they wouldn't have copied SDSU's helmet logo.

MSU (0-6 0-3) @ NDSU (5-0 2-0)

Yikes. That is all.

UNI (4-1 3-0) @ SDSU (2-4 1-2)

Is Sumner good? or did he just look good against a terrible YSU defense? We'll have that answer next week. Northern Iowa is just too much for SDSU... too much..

YSU (2-3 1-2) @ SIU (2-3 1-2)
WIU (2-3 1-1) @ ISUb (4-2 2-1)
USD (4-2) @ ISUr (3-3 2-2)
MSU (0-6 0-3) @ NDSU (5-0 2-0), this will be a close game, hopefully the Bison can get the offense moving.
UNI (4-1 3-0) @ SDSU (2-4 1-2)

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

YSU (2-3 1-2) @ SIU (2-3 1-2)

MSU (0-6 0-3) @ NDSU (5-0 2-0), this will be a close game, hopefully the Bison can get the offense moving.
UNI (4-1 3-0) @ SDSU (2-4 1-2)



Gil....I don't think this game will be close. SIU's defense is much better than MSU's.....but you never know.

[Twentysix]

The winless vs the unbeaten is kinda scary. MSU is about due for a win.

[leatherneck177]

YSU (2-3 1-2) @ SIU (2-3 1-2) - Saluki defense stifles the Penguins, SIU wins by 9 in a low scoring affair.
WIU (2-3 1-1) @ ISUb (4-2 2-1) - assuming Bell is out, Western is able to bottle up the Trees offense somewhat and win by 6. If Bell is active, Necks by 3.
USD (4-2) @ ISUr (3-3 2-2) - USD plays a complete game and gets past the Redbirds by 7.
MSU (0-6 0-3) @ NDSU (5-0 2-0) - not ugly, Bears give Bison fits, but lose by 13.
UNI (4-1 3-0) @ SDSU (2-4 1-2) - Panthers control this one from start to finish, win by 17.

YSU (2-3 1-2) @ SIU (2-3 1-2) ... The Salukis come out angry and win it by double digits.
WIU (2-3 1-1) @ ISUb (4-2 2-1) ... The Sycamores by a nose.
USD (4-2) @ ISUr (3-3 2-2) ... Coyotes are lookin' good.
MSU (0-6 0-3) @ NDSU (5-0 2-0) ... Hopefully the Bison can figure out the 3-4 defense.
UNI (4-1 3-0) @ SDSU (2-4 1-2) ... This one won't be pretty.

Feeling very contrarian this week. Hilarious upsets incoming.

[Dgreenwell3]

My picks:
WIU @ Indiana State- Homecoming for the trees and I would bet just about anything the Trees win this one. 37-14.
Youngstown @SIU- SIu gets a home W here but it's not easy. 23-17
USD@Illinois State. Illinois State wins by having a truly balanced attack. 34-14
MSU@NDSU-seems to be the game that Bears fans constantly bring up but this year the Bizon get their measure of revenge. 24-3.
UNI @Sdsu-Panthers that's all.

[joeybrownerhof]

WIU at ISUb-the team with former NCC coach as head baskeball coach
YSU at SIU- the team with former NCC head coach as head football coach
USD at ISUr- the charter member of the NCC
MSU at NDSU- the charter member of the NCC
UNI at SDSU- the former member but non charter member of the NCC

If Missouri State wins this game then the Bison.........better re-evaluate.

[Sycamore51]

YSU (2-3 1-2) @ SIU (2-3 1-2) Just becaue they are home
WIU (2-3 1-1) @ ISUb (4-2 2-1) Bell practiced on Monday, but close because our kicker left the team on Monday
USD (4-2) @ ISUr (3-3 2-2) Close game, but USD by a late TD
MSU (0-6 0-3) @ NDSU (5-0 2-0) Blow Out!
UNI (4-1 3-0) @ SDSU (2-4 1-2) Just too much talent, speed, and strength on D of a young QB

[Indianastate45]

Penguins-upset of the week...by a nose
Trees- not pretty for the leathernecks....kicks make no difference in this one. Besides we have a kicker to step in.
Birds..very close
NDSU- I agree.....ugly for Bears
UNI- UNI is top notch

Why did your kicker quit the team???????

[UNIFanSince1983]

Why did your kicker quit the team???????

I have a feeling it might have had something to do with missing two field goals and and extra point last Saturday.

[birdsflyhigh]

After a 3-1 pick 'em week last time out (which put me at 27-9 for the year), it's onto MVFC week #7:

Winners:

SIU Salukis
ISU Sycs
ISU Redbirds
NDSU Bison
UNI Panthers

The Redbirds could give the MVFC a real nice non-con win by taking down the South Dakota Coyotes. It's ISU's homecoming, and it should be a big, LOUD crowd.

Rock it MVFC!! xhighfivex

[Professor Chaos]

Youngstown St @ Southern Illinois - I think Hampton has a field day against the YSU D.
Western Illinois @ Indiana St - My picks have been way to boring lately so I figured I'd pick an upset. I think WIU is better than we all thought and without Bell at 100% (or maybe at all) I think InSU becomes pretty pedestrian.
South Dakota @ Illinois St - This is the game I'll be most interested to see other than the Bison game. Still don't know what to make of IlSU but I think they're built to control the LOS in this game and they win a grinder.
Missouri St @ North Dakota St - Jensen took a beating against SIU so I think the Bison run the ball early and often in this one and win comfortably but not a blow out.
Northern Iowa @ South Dakota St - I kinda wanted this game to be my upset special but UNI has too much speed for SDSU and the weather won't be a factor yet (the CAS grounds crew may want to leave the sprinklers on the field Friday night ;)).

I've been to ISU red's football games 3 times, and seen more on TV. I've never heard it LOUD before.

What was it, last year or 2 years ago it rained all week in Brookings and then there was a HS game on Friday night...the field was already a you know what hole...add that crappy weather and tear it was hellacious.

[UNIFanSince1983]

SIU -- They seemed to play better last week to get back on track, and YSU did not
ISUb -- Seen both teams in person and ISUb was the better of the two. If Bell plays they win going away, if not it will be a squeaker
ISUr -- Gotta go with the current MVFC member at home
NDSU -- MSU will beat someone this year it just won't be the Bison in Fargo. Blowout in the FargoHangar

[Strommer10]

YSU (2-3 1-2) @ SIU (2-3 1-2) Toss up, SIU defense holds strong for the win
WIU (2-3 1-1) @ ISUb (4-2 2-1) Bell plays= big win
USD (4-2) @ ISUr (3-3 2-2) Redbirds keep it close, but Yotes edge them out on the road.
MSU (0-6 0-3) @ NDSU (5-0 2-0) Closer than it should be. Bison by 14
UNI (4-1 3-0) @ SDSU (2-4 1-2) I want SDSU to make this into a game, UNI by 21

We know where his loyalties lie. He didn't bother to learn a Bizon song, but still knows the UNI Fight Song. :)

[Pant8her]

Most home teams win this weekend....

YSU (2-3 1-2) @ SIU (2-3 1-2) Two decent teams that find ways to win and some teams find a way to beat them. Toss up game but I will stay with the home team...

WIU (2-3 1-1) @ ISUb (4-2 2-1) WIU on the road will be tough to win at ISUb. The Syc's have proven they can play well against UNI and if Bell is healthy they will have fun with WIU.

USD (4-2) @ ISUr (3-3 2-2) Tough call since USD has been playing well, and ISUr has been sporatic. I think ISUr has the upper hand at home....

MSU (0-6 0-3) @ NDSU (5-0 2-0) MSU, what do we say. MSU has frontloaded their season with argueably the toughest FCS schedule in the division, and it doesnt stop this week on the road at Fargo. Fun in Fargo for Bison but no fun for Bear.

UNI (4-1 3-0) @ SDSU (2-4 1-2) At th e begining of the season I would have said this is a toss up game, and SDSU has been this Jekyll and Hyde thing going for them. UNI has been fairly consistant this season doing what they were supose to do. UNI will likely be looking aheadto the next couple of games, but they will start slow and finish the game. Closer than many UNI fans want to see, but a win is a win (as the Bison would tell you).....

Peace,
Don't HATE, just APPRECIATE...

YSU (2-3 1-2) @ SIU (2-3 1-2) It's Homecoming for the Dawgs.
WIU (2-3 1-1) @ ISUb (4-2 2-1) Indy State has just improved so much the last couple of years, it amazes me.
USD (4-2) @ ISUr (3-3 2-2) Deadbirds roll out the valley welcome mat.
MSU (0-6 0-3) @ NDSU (5-0 2-0) Bison are finally the real deal this year.
UNI (4-1 3-0) @ SDSU (2-4 1-2) Panthers should win.
