My final attempt at perfection. Currently I am sitting at 49-9 and need to correct predict all the Big Sky games this weekend to match my least amount of misses since starting these predictions. Tough games on the horizon highlighted by the annual Montana/Montana State game. Here are the predictions. All based on my opinion only.
ISU @ EWU---Could be interesting with the Eagles heading to the playoffs and the Bengals playing for their coach. The Eagles will not want to lose this game and risk losing a berth in the playoffs (thinking here is that they are in regardless), but this could be tight if they overlook this Bengal team wanting to send their coach off with a win...EWU 30, ISU 21.
PSU @ NAU---No chance for the playoffs for either team, which was expected for the Vikings but not for the Jacks. Now, rumblings are that Souers could be on his way out, too. Interesting sidenote for the Vikings is that a loss would mean they finish with a worst record this year than last year, Glanville's last year...NAU 28, PSU 17.
Sac State @ UC-Davis---Another big rivalry game that will move within the conference. UC-Davis would like nothing more than to ruin the Hornets great season as the Hornets' year would seem hollow without a win over their rival. Also, a win would be a good springboard for UC-Davis, making up for losses earlier in the year to Weber State and Portland State...Sac State 38, UC-Davis 30.
WSU @ Texas Tech---Interesting matchup for the Wildcats in that their last game is on the road, out of conference, out of the FCS, and in Texas against the Big 12's Texas Tech. Rather puzzling but they still have to play the game...Texas Tech 42, WSU 17.
and finally...
MSU @ UM---Bigger implications in an otherwise big game. The Bobcats get a win and they get the AQ for the playoffs. The Grizzlies win and they most likely make the playoffs. The Grizzlies lose and most likely their season is done. The Bobcats have recently played to the level of their opponent, which just means they will be up for this game. Then again, it is no problem for either team to get up for this game...UM 22, MSU 20.
