Big Sky Predictions 10-12

Post by JALMOND »

Ever since the conference part of the season began, I seem to have fallen off. That may be due to the parity that is running through the conference, or it could just be that I am not as good a picker as I once was. Either way, I am currently at 45-12 for the year. Everyone plays this weekend in the conference and I have another chance to be perfect. Here are my picks for this weekend's Big Sky Conference games.

NAU at UM...Smarting a bit from their close loss last weekend on the road, the Lumberjacks move on another tough place to play, but yet another shot at a good road win. The Grizzlies vaunted defense seems to have taken the last two weeks off, and they need it to return in a hurry. This game may be a little less scoring...UM 31, NAU 24.

PSU at ISU---How will the Vikings respond after having a sure victory slip through their fingers on the last play last weekend? The Bengals enjoyed a high scoring affair down in California last weekend in earning a hard fought win. This game may be one of those old time high scoring bouts in the Pocatello barn...PSU 48, ISU 45.

CP at UCD---The Mustangs came close to getting their second conference win last weekend while the Aggies finally eked out victory on the last play of the game last week. The Mustangs have shown this season that they will play with anyone so the Aggies do need to come ready. They should have little trouble here...UCD 35, CP 21.

UNC at WSU---The offense for the Bears seems to have gone missing in the first two games of conference play, while the Wildcats have been rolling in conference play. The Bears defense has not been able to shut anyone down and the Wildcats showed last week they can score on any defense, including this one...WSU 45, UNC 14.

EWU at SAC---The two teams that took last week off face against each other this week. The Eagles started off with a bang but their defense doesn't seem to be able to stop anyone. That bodes well for the Hornets who are trying to get back to winning after dropping their conference opener on the road...SAC 37, EWU 21.

UI at MSU---The game of the week in the conference and maybe nationally as well. Both the Vandals and the Bobcats are near the top of the polls and both have beaten the FBS Mountain West earlier this season. This game could possibly decide seedings in the playoffs later on so both will want to get a win...MSU 21, UI 17.

I'm worried about this one....

I though I was doing well picking Portland State as the lone visitor winner. Little did I know that there would be others. 3-2 this week puts me at 48-12 for the season.
