Week 12

[Chex]

SUU @ Portland State
Montana State @ Northern Colorado
EWU @ Utah Tech
UC Davis @ Idaho
Idaho State @ Montana
Weber State @ NAU

My picks:

SUU—I expect Portland State to hang around for two and a half periods before being worn down.

Montana State—Coming off a 3OT thriller. I expect a solid victory by 14 or more.

Utah Tech—They are playing solid. They were driving to beat Idaho State and threw a pick. This team is coming together right in time for the Wildcats next week.

UC Davis—Idaho is playing tough and UC Davis isn’t as good on the road. I think the Aggies win a surprise close game.

Montana—I think Idaho State has a good chance, but wins are tough in Missoula

Weber State—Puts their best game together after the bye and gets some needed weapons to pull off the upset

SUU
MSU by a lot
EWU - I think Utah Tech has improved a lot but can't seem to finish a game.
Idaho - Would rather have a UC Davis win here but I think its too much on the road
Montana - 8:30 p.m. at Montana will be tough. I don't see how ISU offense keeps up
WSU - A statement road win for Kjar! Likely a one score game and looking like we have more experience in close games this year.

SUU @ Portland State
Montana State @ Northern Colorado
EWU @ Utah Tech
UC Davis @ Idaho
Idaho State @ Montana
Weber State @ NAU

SUU
MSU
UTU -- EWU is just not good and UTU is at home.
UI -- UI has been improving and UCD has not.
ISU -- ISU's defense is stout and UM's is not.
WSU -- I'm just hoping. NAU may well be the best in the BSC right now.

This is a rough one.

SUU: because they should win (I wouldn't doubt seeing SUU lose this one)
MSU: The end of the Ed Lamb era in Greeley. Good for him too. Someone else can use his coaching talents.
UTU: They are starting to put things together.
UI: Getting a win in the dome...just don't see it happening for Davis.
UM: YES...I really want the Bengals to get a W. They deserve a W with all of their close losses. Not going to happen in Missoula.
WSU: Because I'm a homer. This is going to be a really hard game to get a W in. The Jacks are really playing great ball right now. SO, are the Cats. It really is the game of the week in the Sky. I hope the dome is packed.

I wanted to put together a Bubble Watch for the weekend and keep it all in one place. The team listed first is who we should be rooting against this weekend.



Villanova (-7) at Holy Cross
UIW (-24.5) vs Nicholls
Bryant (-1) at Sacred Heart
UAlbany (-13.5) vs Maine
Princeton (+3.5) at Yale
ETSU (-4.5) at Wofford
Richmond (+12.5) vs Lehigh
Illinois State (+13.5) at Youngstown State
Idaho State (+7.5) at Montana
North Alabama (-14) at West Georgia
Abilene Christian (+7.5) at Austin Peay

The other bubble game is Davis vs Idaho. We’ve beaten both and have a stronger resume than both so I’m not sure it really matters to us who wins this game. Davis might not get a playoff bid even if they win out, so maybe it would be best for us if they knocked off Idaho but I’m not going to sweat it.

Assuming no more than one turnover by Weber, I am picking them over NAU by three, 34-31! I think that Coach Kjar has had them very ready to play each week and has improved all aspects of their play each week. Weber has been more explosive than NAU offensively. NAU has the better 'D". But Weber's D ain't to bad after a really bad beginning. I am hoping that our explosive offense will overcome NAU's good D and less explosive defense. If Weber was a plus in turnovers for the season their average points per game would be substantially greater than 36. So explode "0" and grind it out "D' and it should result in a win barring multiple turnovers.
