[WILDCAT]

North Dakota @ Northern Colorado - North Dakota leads series 16-12 and have won 5 straight.

North Dakota looked impressive in their road win @ Sam Houston State, but then lost at home to Idaho State. Northern Colorado has had a brutal schedule resulting in an 0-4 record. This Bears team might be one of the better winless teams in the nation, but they wont be winless for long.

Bears 31-20

Eastern Washington @ Montana State - Eastern leads the series 31-10 and have won 6 straight.

Montana State's QB issues seem to be working out for them but now they play their 2nd game against a top 10 foe, the last time they did they lost by 31. Eastern Washington looks incredible right now. Could it be that Eastern has finally found a defense and a run game to go along with that passing attack?

Eagles 52-30

Northern Arizona @ Idaho State - NAU leads the series 35-16-1 and have won 10 straight.

Is Cookus back yet? Is he going to return at all this year? NAU has a schedule built to win the Big Sky title, can they take advantage of it? Idaho State is riding high after their win in Grand Forks. Can they keep riding that momentum or is a let down in their future?

Lumberjacks 41-35

Portland State @ Idaho - Idaho leads the series 11-1 and have won 1 straight.

Both of these teams have looked like garbage this season. Portland State has a lot of talented players but for some reason cant seem to gel as a team. Idaho was thought to have FBS talent and would compete right away, but it seems half of the team has given up just as much as their fanbase has. But...

Idaho 28-17

Montana @ Cal Poly - Montana leads the all time series 15-5, BUT Cal Poly has won 3 straight.

It's time to find out what Montana is really made of. Are they for real or has the home friendly schedule they've played so far made them look like more than they are? Cal Poly seems like they are better than last year but their schedule has been absolutely brutal.

Grizzlies 31-20


Teams off
Weber State, Sacramento State, UC Davis and Southern Utah.

Surprised MSU was the favorite. Latest lines are UNC -3, EWU -3.5, NAU -2.5, UI -5, and UM -11.

I like UNC, EWU, ISU, UI, and UM.

Northern Colorado got smashed to fall to 0-5. They host Davis next week so they will likely be 0-6.

Eastern Washington handled Montana State today. They are the class of the conference so far. They will host winless SUU next week and hopefully keep them winless.

NAU lost to Idaho State today and it wasn’t particularly close at any point. If Weber has any intentions of hosting a playoff game then they need to go into Flagstaff and handle the Lumberjacks. They can put up points but they turn the ball over a ton and play soft defense.

Idaho State is hosting Idaho next week and they may be favored??

No question they'll be favored. The Vandals suck and the Bengals appear to be the real deal. Going to hit the fan in Moscow when high and mighty UI loses to little brother.
