Montana State may be better on paper than Stony Brook, but the Seawolves were playing their best ball of the season while the Bobcats quite frankly aren't. Denarius McGhee has been interception prone in recent games & that doesn't bode well against a Bearkat team that is +25 on turnover margin this season.

Here's my assessment of the matchups & my pick for the game:

• • • Quarterbacks -- (push)
      
      Running Backs - Sam Houston St.
      
      Receivers/TEs - Montana St.
      
      Offensive Line - (push)
      
      
      Defensive Line - Montana St.
      
      Linebackers --- Montana St.
      
      Secondary ---- Sam Houston St.
      
      
      Kicking ------ Montana St.
      
      Punting ------ Sam Houston St.
      
      Return Teams - (push)
      
      Kickoffs ------ (push)
      
      
      
      
      
      • Montana St. 20-31 Sam Houston St.

Looks about right. I may flip flop your analysis of the LBs and Secondary.

I don't see SHSU pulling this one off - but then again, MSU has had a propensity to not show up for important games in the past - I believe they are the better team, just need to get their heads on straight and it should be at least a 1 TD win

SHSU -8.5 at 5dimes.com

This game really has the potential to be a great game regarding what teams show up Saturday. If they both play the way they did this past weekend it's going to be a penalty and mistake prone game. Both teams can score some points so this game will be decided by the O and D lines. Can either MSU or Sam get to the QB and make one team, one dimensional? Sam's secondary looked very suspect this last weekend against stony brook, but that was because they were dedicated to stopping the run. The safeties and CB bit so hard on PA plays. I think this week Sam's CB wil not be put on an island and they will have safety help over the top. Home-field advantage is key for Sam that number one seeding guarantees they won't have to leave Texas the whole playoffs, and Bowers is going to be rocking on Saturday. It's going to be a great game and very close, but I believe Sam wins 24-21.

I am ALL IN.... Eat' em up KATS!!!

Here's hoping you don't get stacked!!

Holy shit I'd be putting a boatload of money on MSU with that spread.

I think they win it outright.

Montana -1 only?
SHSU -8.5
NDSU -9.5

Those are three bets I'd take.

If I were a betting man I'd take that spread and run. I can see SHSU winning the game, but that's a lot of points to give up for a game that should be extremely even, if not tilted MSU's favor.

It all depends on which Cats team decides to show up on Saturday and if McGhee doesn't spend a half forgetting which team he plays for again. If both teams play to their capabilities I'm taking the Cats by 7.


Kats vs. Cats

MSU wins their homecoming game by 7.

The Bobcats are 2-0 this year when playing another cat (or Kat), and 1-1 against teams with a bear in the name. Bobcats win this one....It's science

Because it sounds like a home game when you hear a mountain lion sound over the PA

What does that have to do with anything I said.

Also, the Cats basketball team beat the Williamette Bearcats last night, and SHSU lost to the Aggies. Of course we used to be the Aggies. Done deal.

Lets go 'Cats and show everyone what the BSC is like this year - would love to see a rematch, even though the Griz are playing as complete and good as football gets at the right time.

Slow start for each team. SHSU throws a pick on their second possession.

Agreed. Science.

Love the avatar. Ready for another beatdown in Grizoula?

Come on CATS pick up a score here

Wow the MSU offense looks like shit so far.

For such a good offense they sure can be frustrating to watch.

Why do the Kat fans yell while on offense?

I'm thinking to myself ... "Why put #11 in at QB -- #6 is 'The Dude'"

Then, #11 tosses that TD pass

SHSU - 7
MSU -3

4:50
1st

Because they haven't had a good following and this year they have a lot of new "bandwagon" fans, including students, and they are clueless.

Was it me, or had the 30 second clock expired when SHSU busted that big run?

Bobcats appear to be winning the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball.
