I know there's a website to make FCS picks, but I thought it might be fun to list the games each week and the score you predict it will be. Just for the posters on our board. Comments after the picks can explain your thought process.
SDSU vs. YSU YSU 34 SDSU 27. The score is closer than the game. The Jacks have a way to stay in games even when outplayed
Missouri State vs NDSU NDSU 52 MSU 10 Nuff said
UNI vs. SIU UNI 27 SIU 24 Overtime. Farley keeps what little flicker of light there is for them lit
Indiana State vs. Illinois State Illinois State 37 Indiana State 20 The game is close for a half
USD vs. Western Illinois USD 44 WIU 41. Game goes to OT. Western kicks a field goal and the Coyotes score a TD on 3rd play

SDSU 38 YSU 27 MSU 7 NDSU 49 UNI 31 SIU 28 INDY St 14 Illinois St 38 USD 38 WIU 31 You like the Jacks in this one...thoughts on why? I have wrestled with this one quite a bit. SDSU has historically played YSU very well the past - past two matchups SDSU won by 14 and 30 points. Three years ago SDSU lost at home by 3. I think YSU's defense is very good this year, but were even better last year. Last year SDSU scored 24 on them. SDSU was tested against MSU earlier this year and I think that road game experience will lead to them being extremely sharp this coming Saturday. SDSU can score quite a few points on anyone in the country when sharp. When it comes down to it, I do not see YSU having the firepower to keep up. Now if it is a windy rainy day and the game devolved into a slugfest on the ground. All bets are off. Should be a great game. |

I am with OBC on SDSU vs. YSU. Mobile QB's have historically given Pelini defenses fits. TC matches up well with YSU, HOWEVER if he is not able to be accurate with the ball, then YSU may house them on turnovers. YSU's offense thrives on the run. SDSU's defense is made to stop the run. I tend to think SDSU takes down YSU - possibly by two TDs. I think it is more about match-ups than I do overall talent, however.

SDSU vs YSU - State wins by a TD
Missouri State vs NDSU - Bizun win easily. I think the Bizon will be ridiculously tough again this year. Their offense looks better than in years past and their D is always good.
UNI vs SIU - No clue, haven't seen either team play yet. I know SIU's offense is good and UNI has struggled it appears. I'll go SIU by 3.
Indiana State vs Illinois State - Redbirds win by 14+.
USD vs Western Illinois - USD is 0-5 vs the Leathernecks since going D1. Last year was a heartbreaker. Will the Yotes be able to pull it out? If I am betting I'll go WIU by 3.

Weather in Macomb this week tends to favor the Bunnies... 70 with a 6 mph breeze.

Monday seems WAY to early for predictions, but I'll bite:
SDSU 20 YSU 31 - I think both teams are over-hyped at this point (I don't trust SDSU's D or YSU's O)
MSU 6 NDSU 54 - NDSU with a steady diet of home cupcakes
UNI 17 SIU 38 - UNI=not good
INDY St 10 Illinois St 27 - Ill St. getting it put together
USD 41 WIU 30 - Yotes D plays well early to match fast start by the O

Weather in Macomb this week tends to favor the Bunnies... 70 with a 6 mph breeze. I am happy to hear about that forecast especially since the Coyotes like to go long plenty and having only a breeze won't effect that much. Even though the Coyotes lines have done well I think W Illinois will be much tougher to deal with between the tackles. |

SDSU at Youngstown - I will take the Jacks 36-21 because they will pass around and over them.
Missouri State at NDSU - the conferences worst at the conferences best. 48-10 Bison, no parity this time.
Northern Iowa at S Illinois - I think the Salukis build off a good game last week and win it 28-17.
Indiana State at Illinois State - I think the Sycamores give them a scare but not quite. Red over Blue 30-24.
South Dakota at Western Illinois - I think the Necks have a 52% chance to win but the Yotes take it 44-31.

Not to be a nag, but shouldn't this thread go in the MVFC forum?
