Wrote a few words on the championship game. Maybe a bit premature, but whatever. I had time to write.

[Gil Dobie]

Good article, except it's not time for a new champion.

[BDKJMU]

Nice write up Titleist.

[JBB]

Great write-up.

NDSU receivers are the reason The Bison are seen by the GAM, and myself, as 2 pt favorites.

Could be a low scoring game. Pass sets up Bison running game

[kalm]

Very solid work as usual, T!

[JBB]

Bison are now +2 and on the straight up +110.

JMU O/U 26.5. -110

NDSU O/U 25. -110

O/U. 51.5. -110
