Statistically, these two teams are pretty similar on defense... Offensively, Eagles have an edge.

Believe Eastern's D will need to get at least 2 TO's for this game to move from the coin flip column. Know when they are attacking aggressively, there is an opportunity for the Bengals to complete quick passes in the middle or bust a big run. It's not even a consideration for me, the TO's are worth it and have to believe the offense will match score for score until the hammer blow is delivered... just like last week.

Question remains for me if the OC has gotten religion and allows the weapons on this team to subjugate what looks to be a weaker opponent on the road. What if Troy Taylor or Beau still ran the offense? Would Eastern be 4-5?

Which WR is going to have a big game? Boston has all but disappeared in the offense. Would love to see him have a big game. I'm a Limu-Jones guy, he is difficult to tackle and catches in traffic, over the shoulder, in the middle and with that long stride, hard to catch in the open field. Overall the WR's have "played into shape".

I like Eastern in this one and have no way to factor in the road malaise that seems to hang over the team since the Jax St game.

Eagles 52 ISU 41

Massey has it Eag's 42 Bengals 37 at 66% likelihood....
 
I can’t get over the fact Idaho State lost at home to UNC, which was about as bad as any team I’ve seen in the Big Sky in a long while. I feel extremely confident Eastern wins this one comfortably unless the team misses the flight to Pocatello.

And frankly, if Eastern can’t win this one, than this team doesn’t deserve a winning season. But I don’t see that happening. Eastern by a bunch...

Keep in mind I’m an eternal pessimist and still saying this.

I'm with you. Eag's by a bunch. Hard to factor the road results. "misses the flight" :rofl:
 
EWU is -6.5 favorites with a 74.5 over/under.

I'm not a betting man and I don't like making predictions, but I'll take Eastern by a lot. I expect huge offensive output in this game. ISU looked decent on offense for a while but seem to have fallen apart lately. I'd probably prefer the over, but mainly because I expect 50+ from Eastern's offense.

I know Eastern has been dogshit on the road this season, but this game should be a walkover if the players come out with their head screwed on straight.
