And here's the copy/paste list:

Northern Arizona (-6) @ Missouri State
North Alabama @ North Dakota State (-36.5)
Montana @ Western Illinois (-7.5)
Arkansas-Pine Bluff @ South Dakota State (-51.5)
SE Missouri State @ Southern Illinois (-14.5)
Indiana State @ Eastern Illinois (-2.5)
Northern Iowa @ Iowa (-21)
South Dakota @ Weber State (pk)
As before you feel free to just pick winners, just pick against the spread, or pick both ways but just make sure to differentiate if you pick both ways. If you didn't see the standings after week 2 you can see them here: http://www.anygivensaturday.com/show...=1#post2669619
Starting next week I'll start posting each team's record against the spread. It gets kind of interesting to see who's outdoing and underperforming based on the bookies' expectations.

No updates that I've seen on his status for this week but it sure didn't seem good last Saturday when they ruled him out pretty quickly with a throwing arm/shoulder injury.

Re: 2018 MVFC Pick 'em: Week 3
Valparaiso @ Youngstown State (-32.5) - I don't know... YSU has to get off the schneid somehow, you'd think sooner or later they would get fed up and take out their frustrations and they should be able to crush this team.
Northern Arizona (-6) @ Missouri State - Gotta get my MVFC bias going... I think MSU will put up points in this game and without Cookus NAU will come up a score or two short.
North Alabama @ North Dakota State (-36.5) - I think this NDSU team has the potential to be an all-timer... we'll see if/when they prove me wrong.
Montana @ Western Illinois (-7.5) - Macomb is a wierd place to play and the Necks are desperate for a win but it won't come easy.
Arkansas-Pine Bluff @ South Dakota State (-51.5) - Think you can keep it within 52 UAPB? I have my doubts but I think SDSU calls off the dogs before it gets too ugly.
SE Missouri State @ Southern Illinois (-14.5) - The Salukis are looking good but I have a feeling like they're due for a clunker... still going with them this week though.
Indiana State @ Eastern Illinois (-2.5) - In a matchup of two pretty bad teams I think EIU is the worse one... and I'll take the 2.5 points for the Trees too.
Northern Iowa @ Iowa (-21) - I really wanted to pick UNI here but I just didn't have enough MVFC bias left in the tank.
South Dakota @ Weber State (pk) - I'm not quite sure what to make of USD yet. This game is a toss up and will be telling about the rest of their season.

Re: 2018 MVFC Pick 'em: Week 3
Bold SU, Underline Spread
Valparaiso @ Youngstown State (-32.5) - Pelini gets the guins to pull their heads out of their a&&es
Northern Arizona (-6) @ Missouri State - If Cookus is out, there's some value here
North Alabama @ North Dakota State (-36.5) Easy cover
Montana @ Western Illinois (-7.5) - Should be a good game, I think WIU by a FG
Arkansas-Pine Bluff @ South Dakota State (-51.5) - Stig is too nice and won't want to risk injury
SE Missouri State @ Southern Illinois (-14.5) - High scoring affair, SEMO barely covers
Indiana State @ Eastern Illinois (-2.5) - Come on Trees... you have to take advantage of this opportunity
Northern Iowa @ Iowa (-21) - Iowa just doesn't have their offense clicking yet... I think UNI does enough to stay within 3 TDs
South Dakota @ Weber State (pk) - Yuck the Fotes.

Re: 2018 MVFC Pick 'em: Week 3
Yotes win on Saturday against Weber. Also, UNC QB is the real deal. One of the best I’ve seen the last two years in the FCS. IF they can protect him (big if), he will surprise some teams this year.

Re: 2018 MVFC Pick 'em: Week 3
Was the NAU and MoSt line made with the anticipation that Cookus is out?

I doubt it. FWIW the live line has moved to NAU -8.5 (although for all picks here we're still using the opening line of -6) and I haven't seen any news about Cookus' availability but it sure didn't look good with the way he exited last week, was ruled out almost immediately, and even went to the hospital after the game.

If the line was made thinking he was gonna play. Then it was made thinking MoSt is only a TD dog to a team in the top25???

Yeah, 6 seemed a little low but since it's in Springfield I'd assume it was skewed a little bit in favor of MSU. The Sagarin spread is about 7.5 and the Massey spread is about 8 so neither see MSU as a very big underdog and I'm sure neither have taken into account that NAU is likely missing their 4 year starting QB.

Right, so he thinks Western Illinois will win, but by less than 7.5, so Montana would cover the 7.5 point spread being underdogs.

For some reason I read it as Montana being favored. Got it now.
