Southern Illinois vs. SDSU SDSU 34 SIU 10 Jacks get back on track in a big way
NDSU vs. ISU (b) NDSU 38 ISU 7 Yawner
Western Illinois vs. UNI UNI 31 WIU 26 I think WIU is better team but they spent a lot of energy in a loss to usd
Illinois State vs Northern Arizona ISU 34 NAU 21 Valley vs. Small Sky...nuff said
Youngstown State vs USD USD 27 YSU 24. Defense plays super

Jacks over Salukis/ big
Bison over whatever Indiana State's mascot/ big
Red Birds over Lumberjacks/ big
Leathernecks over Panthers / playing angry
Yotes over Penguins / Pelini gets two technicals that seal the game.

SDSU over SIU 42-17
NDSU over ISUb 27-13
ISUr over N Ari 45-13
WIU over UNI 35-27 but this is a pick em
SD over YSU 37-14 I picked YSU in a 50/50 game pre season, SD has a tendency to put up big points on pretty good defenses. This is another Dakota Dome dismantling.

Southern Illinois vs. SDSU - SDSU offense gets back on track against SIU. SIU will score some points as well. SDSU wins by 10
NDSU vs. ISU (b) - NDSU didn't go off against Missouri St. as I expected, but they still have one of the best offenses and defenses in the country. NDSU by 23
Western Illinois vs. UNI - I could actually see UNI win this game, but I will go WIU by 10. Since the 3rd quarter against the Yotes WIU found their groove on offense again. McShane is a good back and is elusive.
Illinois State vs Northern Arizona - Have not watched either team play, but I will say ISUr by 17.
Youngstown State vs USD - YSU have given the Yotes fits over the years and were a team that have overpowered us. I am worried about YSU controlling the game as they did vs SDSU. If we don't make play with an uptempo offense it make make for a slow death as YSU loves to burn clock. We will have to stop the run and be able to keep making plays on 3rd down. I'll hop on the optimism train and say Yotes by 3 with a great DDays crowd.

My wild-ass guesses on this week's games:
SIU 27 SDSU 30 - SDSU is going to need to win shoot-outs this year.
NDSU 34 ISU 17 - NDSU has had the weakest freakin schedule so far...
WIU 41 UNI 27 - WIU comes in focused, UNI just not that good.
Ill St 24 NAU 20 - you got me.
USD 41 YSU 17 - details elsewhere.

FROM THE GAM
for the week of October 7:
3-2 last week. 2 upsets blemished the score card. No tie breaker this week.
4-1 this week. 1 upset brings questions about iSUr. Another team fading? The tie breaker showed a close UNC win but it also indicated potential upset and UND did just that.
SUI 26 @ SDSU 29: Home field is the difference
Actual: SDSU 49 SUI 14. The Jacks aren't going away. Not only do they win they cover the spread easily and took the score far beyond the mythical over/under of 55. SUI was a powerhouse when The XDSUs joined the league. Dale Lennon ruined the team. They havent contended for anything since he was there.
NDSU 47 @ ISUb14
Actual: NDSU 52 ISUb 0. Played out. The Bison continue to roll. They cover the huge spread of -33 but keep it under the mythical 61
WIU 34 @ UNI 25: upset watch
Actual: WIU 38 UNI 25. It looked like UNI could do it but the couldn't. They had it UNI 25 WIU 27 in the 4th. Both teams looked good to me.
ISUr 40 @ NAz 17: Not surprised MVFC meets Big Sky.
Actual: upset NAz 37 ISUr 16. Well, I was surprised. ISUr may have had a bad day or they are exposed. Run game needs work.
and of course
YSU 25 @ USD 30
Actual: YSU 28 USD 31. Played out. Coyotes couldn’t cover the spread and the defenses kept the score under the pivitable 65. Great game moving the ‘Yotes up and YSU down.

Here's a bonus game
week of 10/7:
UNC @ UND
as the tie breaker
Projected winner: UNC
Spread: UND +3
Over/under: 65
Typical score: UND 31 UNC 34
Actual: UND 48. UNC 38. Upset. I had a feeling about this one and had it on the upset watch.
I gave UND +3 for home field. Homecoming. Even with all the trouble that has been brewing at UND for the past couple years now coming to a head in Grand Forks, these are still 2 evenly matched teams. Neither stack up well with the top teams yet they have productive and balanced offenses.
What makes this exciting is the porous defenses sported by both teams. Neither of these offenses average what their defenses give up, which means, this is a wide open game between 2 decent offenses.
My advice: take UNC to cover and go over. Seeing total score in the 70's wouldn't surprise me a bit.
PS. Watch for the upset. A fired up team in front of a home crowd that may resent the fact marijuana wouldn't even be a legal problem in Colorado, just a team infraction of unknown importance.

Great call Coyotecrazy 5.
I just checked it again and the Penguins have a 60% third down conversion rate. This is very good. Keeps a lot of drives alive.
On the bright side their TOP compared to opponents is about the same as USD and they don't score as many points as the Coyotes. I'm not sure what they are doing with all those first downs?
Great day at the Dakota Dome! Hope the tailgate is under the sun!
Go Yotes!
