Northern Colorado @ Michigan State 45 - 10

Eastern Washington @ Montana State 31 - 24

UC Davis @ Weber State 45 - 24

Northern Arizona @ Idaho State 38 - 35

Sacramento State @ Montana 41 - 20

The Sac - Montana game is a difficult one to predict. This game will either be a Montana blow out or a Sac win in the last few seconds. Since we have never beaten Montana, and they are in a must win game, I'm going with Montana big. When you look at the Montana losses it's mainly been the turnovers that have doomed them - I don't expect that at home.

I'm going to hope for the best - maybe the law of averages catch up but not expecting it.

Here are my picks for the coming week.


Northern Colorado @ Michigan State 59-3
M State in a blowout, they are finally ranked and want to make a statement.

Eastern Washington @ Montana State 38-31
The kitties put up a valiant battle, but EWU is looking to soar over the state of MT this year.

UC Davis @ Weber State 56-7
The Manure Pile takes a beating after Weber gets up for this game.

Northern Arizona @ Idaho State 49-3
Lumberjacks lay the wood on this one. ISU gets 3 pts. for showing up.

Sacramento State @ Montana 21-20 OT
This is a defensive battle, but the Griz do not have their magic bag this time, and the stadium boos the coach at the end.

It's kinda hard to have such a low-scoring OT game, HH.

I've never heard Montana referred to as Felix the Cat before. Really funny!

:lol:

Oops- forgot to delete the OT reference- cut and paste job- NO OT here just old fashioned defense and little love from the Griz base, and a They Hate Me jersey for the Griz coach next week.

Thought i would add TSN's Prediction

SACRAMENTO STATE (2-1, 1-0 BIG SKY) AT NO. 14 MONTANA (1-2, 0-1)

Kickoff: 3 p.m.

Series record: Montana leads, 15-0

What to know: Montana has fallen to a No. 14 ranking after coming into the season at No. 2 and then moving up to No. 1 for a week. Mistakes and sloppy play have plagued the Griz in losses at Cal Poly and Eastern Washington.

Sacramento State won its Big Sky opener against then-No. 21 Weber State last Saturday. Standout running back Bryan Hilliard racked up 136 rushing yards and a touchdown in the 24-17 win.

The Grizzlies were gashed by EWU running back Taiwan Jones last Saturday as he ran for 224 yards on 27 carries - both career highs. Jones utilized his elusiveness to carve up the Griz, and although Sacramento State's Hilliard is a force, Montana should be more adept at stopping his downhill, straight-ahead running style.

Scoring may be at a premium in this one. Sacramento State held dangerous Weber State quarterback Cameron Higgins in check and for Montana neither Andrew Selle nor Justin Roper has excelled at quarterback.

The sky may fall in Missoula if the Griz drop to 1-3 on the season.

Prediction: Sacramento State, 23-21


On a personal note, would love to see the wheels come off the Grizzly wagon tomorrow.

obviously hindsight is 20/20, but you honestly thought MSU would score as many points against EWU as UNC would against sparty? dude, c'mon.

SH is our token overenthusiastic homer poster. Don't put too much stock into his predictions...and good luck trying to make out any of his obscure references... :lol:
