Strictly look and feel on this one. Not sold on CAA but they got some favorable draws. MVC is tough, not sure who we want after Montana; N Iowa or Ill St.

Fordham 27 - Sacred Heart 31

E. Kentucky 17 - Indiana St. 28

SFA 3 - N. Iowa 38

San Diego 13 - Montana 42

Morgan St. 24 - Richmond 28

MSU 17 - SDST 34 (If prukop plays this could be a coin flip)

SHSU 24 - SELA 42

Liberty 17 - JMU 24

I'm unsure about the statistics behind this, but common opinion is that Northern Iowa has the #1 defense in the country paired with one of the worst offenses in the country...would be nice to play them at home and dismantle them...confidence boost before Semi's.

Fordham 27 - Sacred Heart 31 - Why? SH has a top defense against the pass, Fordham beat them last year in playoff's and expect a tough contest. Could be 6 - 9 coin flip.

E. Kentucky 17 - Indiana St. 28 Not sure what happened against Western Ill, but Ind St has a good defense and although on the road for game one, has played a much tougher schedule than E. Ky. OVC is weak.

SFA 3 - N. Iowa 38 Duh. Cold weather, tough d ... this isn't SFA of the past, just happy to be here

San Diego 13 - Montana 42 Stranger things have happened... not this week.

Morgan St. 24 - Richmond 28 This should have been NC A&T from the MEAC, they would have pounded Richmond. CAA is overrated IMO.

MSU 17 - SDST 34 (If prukop plays this could be a coin flip) WTF MSU? Don't think the Rabbits are unbeatable, but how can anyone choose MSU after last week. Ash needs to get it together.

SHSU 24 - SELA 42 Not a Keeler fan. About time his mecenaries got it together. Expect SELA to wear them down and Bennett to make one or two plays. Experience vs. youth

Liberty 17 - JMU 24 Not a Vad Lee fan, assuming he doesn't shoot himself in the foot, should be more than Liberty can handle. JMU isn't a defensive juggernaut so wouldn't be surprised with a Liberty win should Lee toss a couple picks.

Will be watching UNI game, and yes, thinking past the Griz to the qtr final against one of the remaining MVC teams.

Believe I prefer this match up instead of Ill. St. Eags will have to play at least two MVC's to win the Natty. Bring it on :lol:

These picks look good except for the Fordham one. I don't know a ton about FCS football in the northeast but I would be surprised if a team from the NEC beat the Patriot Champs.

UNI plays in a dome.
 
I wasn't all that impressed with SDSU when we played them last year. If MSU plays a solid game they should be able to win at home. Seven turnovers like they had last week makes it hard to read how the team is really playing. Change those seven turnovers to two and it should be a good game between the cats and bunnies.

The Griz should win by 17.

I have a feeling the Griz are up by 17 within a quarter. San Diego is the worst team in the playoffs this year. They'd struggle to beat Big Sky bottom feeders; I'd put them on par with Northern Colorado or UC Davis.

And it totally agree, I thought South Dakota State was very average last year. Their superstar running back was just a regular Joe who handles the ball a lot more than anyone else.

That game should be over some time in the 3nd qtr. I think Davis, UNC, or Weber St. would give San Diego a beat down. They have no business being in the FCS playoffs.

Pretty balanced O this season: 288 pass; 177 rush 26th overall. Don't know who they pass it to this season, last season it was the TE, RB's, FB and 1 WR. More of the same this year I suspect.
