Playoffs Week 2 BigSky 3-1

[luckyintheorder]

Big week for the BigSky. BSC should be 4 - 0 this weekend. Anything else will be a disappointment.

KSU @ Weber -- Massey has it 34 -20 Weber with an 85% confidence. Cold and snow and probable 2nd string starter for KSU won't help their cause. Watch the LB's for Kennesaw makes plays like last week. If Weber puts it on the ground could be an Owl surprise, but I doubt it.

SELA @ Montana -- Massey has it 27-38 Montana at 81%. Weather, venue and travel will be a factor. SELA surprised last week against Villanova, don't see it happening again.

Albany @ Montana St -- Massey has it 21-30 MSU with 76%. Albany didn't impress much last week, they took an early shot from CCCU and then buried them. MSU is the more physical team until they're not.

Austin Peay @ Sac St. -- Massey has it 21-35 with 85% confidence. I liked the way Austin Peay ground Furman down last week, not sure they can do the same thing to Sac's quick passing game and TT at the helm. Expect Sac St big, but Peay's got some heart, if they keep it close they've got a chance.

Monmouth @ James Madison --

Illinois St @ Central Arkansas

Nichols @ NDSU -- I like Nichols but NDSU is another level

UNI @ SD State

It'll be a great showing in all 4 big sky teams advance to the quarter finals.

Go Big Sky!

Games that could surprise:

Monmouth is far more physical than playing in the Big South would suggest. If JMU puts it on the turf and/or looks past this opponent, Monmouth could pull the upset.

Always concerned about Montana State. They've recruited well but their coaching is suspect. Think they are more physical than Albany and Albany's regular season losses include Maine, Richmond and Monmouth.

Minor upsets would be UNI over SDST and Central Arkansas over Illinois St. This latter may be a toss up anyway.

Does time heal the butt hurt? Eagles are better than 2/3rds of this whole field out the gate IMO. Hope Best learns how to deal with change better.

Weber squeaks out a win with a defensive TD... Constantine is awful. Won't make it out of the next round with play like that. KSU played very well given the conditions (cold) and second string QB.

UNI got the minor upset today. Montana hasn't put SELA away yet...WR Toure has over 300 yds and 3 TD's for Griz.

Sneed and the Montana offense impressed today. He might not get away with some of those throws against a better defensive backfield, but today... football god. WR really impressed too.

Lol... atrocious, indeed. And yet they held the same Jacksonville State team that walked up and down the field on our defense to 14 points. Just more evidence of how horrifically bad our D has become.

Austin Peay impressed. I fell asleep at half but that was more then Sac St did. Overmatched, outplayed and outcoached.

Next week Griz at Weber, Peay at MSU...

Just as we have a perpetual semifinal jinx, Montana State always shits the bed in the quarters. Montana already curbstomped Weber once, and I'd expect it again. I'll begrudgingly take Montana State to exorcise their demons.

With you on these thoughts. Know Montana is at Weber, but don't expect that to give Weber more than an additional 7 points.. Totally agree about the quixotic Cats too..
