4-4 also

Western Illinois @ Montana State (Very low scoring game)

Cal Poly @ North Dakota State (R.I.P POLY)

Northern Iowa @ Montana (Griz always seem to beat UNI)

Northern Colorado @ South Dakota (I think this game has the potential to be closer than we think...)

Montana State @ South Dakota State (This game was close last year, but I feel SDSU will win easily this year)

Northern Arizona @ Missouri State (NAU should win this......They really should.)

South Dakota @ Weber State (I highly doubt this game will be another 2 OT thriller, It will be low scoring this time.)

Montana @ Western Illinois (This is where I'm different. I think WIU wins at home.)

4-4 as well.

Big Sky goes 2-6, with the wins being NAU over Misery State & Weber over SoDak.

Great discussion.

I, as well, think 4-4 is a solid mark against a solid conference.

I'm going with 2-6 because I'm too lazy to really look into and and trust mvemsdj's picks.
