Re: 2018 MVFC Pick 'em: Week 3
Straight Up
Valparaiso @ Youngstown State (-32.5)
Northern Arizona (-6) @ Missouri State ... tough call not knowing if Cookus is playing
North Alabama @ North Dakota State (-36.5)
Montana @ Western Illinois (-7.5) .. sorry Lawson, just doesn't seem like WIU has reloaded yet ... which means, you will this week ... you can thank me later
Arkansas-Pine Bluff @ South Dakota State (-51.5) ... unless it gets real hot, then I want to flip ... so game time decision
SE Missouri State @ Southern Illinois (-14.5)
Indiana State @ Eastern Illinois (-2.5) .. tough call, ISUb played Louisville tough for a while
Northern Iowa @ Iowa (-21)
South Dakota @ Weber State (pk) .. tough call, but Weber St struggled to beat Cal Poly
Spread
Valparaiso @ Youngstown State (-32.5) .. YSU knows they need to pour it on
Northern Arizona (-6) @ Missouri State .. tough call without knowing Cookus status
North Alabama @ North Dakota State (-36.5)
Montana @ Western Illinois (-7.5)
Arkansas-Pine Bluff @ South Dakota State (-51.5) .. tough spread, but APB has played a D-II and NAIA so far - may be in for rude awakening.
SE Missouri State @ Southern Illinois (-14.5) .. still like SIU to surprise in MVFC this year
Indiana State @ Eastern Illinois (-2.5) .. played Louisville tougher than EIU played Arkansas
Northern Iowa @ Iowa (-21) .. I picked UNI 2nd in MVFC; not sure why their QB play slipped so badly
South Dakota @ Weber State (pk)

Good strategy picking against your team .. now you know WIU will find their mojo.
How is OL coming along ??

They're coming...they're young, but they've got talent. Did a pretty good job against Illinois last weekend giving McGuire plenty of time, but had some trouble opening holes for RBs. Played better than they did against Montana State in the first weekend, I thought. Our biggest issues right now are probably trying to get McGuire and the receivers on the same page in terms of routes and timing, and special teams. We had 3 turnovers against Illinois...one was a WR that caught the ball and then was immediately crushed between two defenders, and dropped the ball. The two INTs were in the 4th quarter, down by a bit, and just trying too hard to make something happen (high-risk/high-reward). With a Lenoir or Acklin going up for the ball...they're catches...but McGuire and Acklin had been friends and roommates since they'd started here. McGuire knew exactly where he'd be nearly all the time. The new guys are pretty good, but they're just not quite as "comfortable" as it was with McGuire and Acklin. I'm fully convinced that last year's WIU team would have crushed this year's Illinois team.
Most of hte problems are things that can improve over the course of the season, so I think we'll get better. Unfortunately, difficulty level of the opponents doesn't get any easier, and if we don't win this weekend, we're pretty much going to have to go 7-1 in the MVFC to make the playoffs...which is a REALLY tough situation to be in. Pretty much means we have to beat every opponent that we have a halfway decent chance of beating.

I'm confused by this one. NAU is favored so if you're picking Missouri St to win NAU can't cover. I won't stop you though if you want to pick MSU to win straight up and NAU to beat the spread (which means they'd have to win by more than 6). Just wouldn't make much sense to have your picks contradict each other. :)

Re: 2018 MVFC Pick 'em: Week 3
NAU QB Case Cookus is a game-time decision for their game at Missouri St this Saturday with an "upper body injury".
https://azdailysun.com/news/local/na...d7b69b2de.html
The fact that he's seeing a specialist probably isn't a good sign... I get the feeling this is pure coach speak and they already know he won't be able to go Saturday.

Their backup is a dual threat transfer who is quite the runner. I’d hate to prepare for both which is what MSU will have to do. Two very different QBs.

Yeah .. you guys got a real good view of our Dr Jeckyl (1st half) and Mr Hyde (2nd half) .. we did that a few times last year. But we have OC Beathard back .. he actually has half a brain, which is almost a half more than last guy. Actually, he's not just smarter, he's also just a whole lot calmer and not prone to panic under pressure like last guy. We'll see, but were thinking the MVFC will see a lot less of Mr Hyde on offense his year from ISUr. Defense has question marks, but we think they will come around sooner than later.

Hard to go with Weber in that matchup the way they are playing. They can't score. Gonna try to watch it though, will be a good one.
