Big Sky predictions 9-10
Posted: Wed Sep 07, 2022 6:17 pm
After the first week, I am sitting at 11-1 with the lone blemish due to Northern Colorado's game. The games are a bit more difficult this weekend but still non-conference, and all on Saturday. Sacramento State is sitting out this weekend but everyone else is playing.
San Diego (Pioneer) at CP---The Mustangs didn't look too bad in stepping up a level last week and now get to return to the FCS with a game against a non-scholly school who has given them problems in the past. But not this year...CP 28, San Diego 24.
ISU at San Diego State (FBS Mtn West)---The Bengals get to stay with Mountain West competition but they had two weeks to prepare for this game against one of the better Mountain West teams, and one looking to make a statement...San Diego State 45, ISU 21.
Morehead State (Pioneer) at MSU---Rolling, rolling rolling, the Bobcat team just keeps rolling along. Last week the Southland in a ho-hum game. This week the Pioneer in a ho-hum game. They need them as next week is not ho-hum...MSU 45, Morehead State 7.
South Dakota (Missouri Valley) at UM---The Grizzlies are hoping to continue their dominance on both sides of the ball as things do get more difficult with a Missouri Valley team coming to town. But nothing they can't handle...UM 34, South Dakota 10.
PSU at Washington (FBS Pac-12)---Last week was the easy FBS game for the Vikings as they controlled the game for the most part, except on the scoreboard. They may not get that luxury this weekend with their trip to the Pac-12...Washington 27, PSU 16.
UNC at Wyoming (FBS Mtn West)---After their perplexing loss to the Southland doormat, the Bears non-conference trip gets much tougher with a step up to the FBS and on the road. Not much chance to make up for their loss...Wyoming 34, UNC 10.
NAU at Sam Houston (WCA)---By the time they got to Phoenix last week, the Lumberjacks were blown out to a good Pac-12 team. A return to the FCS awaits them this week, but the outcome does not look to be any different...Sam Houston 34, NAU 14.
UCD at South Dakota State (Missouri Valley)---Fresh off their opportunity last week against one of their Pac-12 brethren, the Aggies make a much longer trip to the Midwest for a game against a hungry (and great) FCS team...South Dakota State 31, UCD 10.
WSU at Utah State (FBS Mtn West)---The Wildcats showed last week that they can quickly put away a less inferior opponent. And, based on the scores last week, the Mountain West may be a bit down. Chance for an upset? Close...Utah State 27, WSU 24.
UI at Indiana (FBS Big 10)---The Vandals put together a good showing and game plan against a Power 5 opponent last week. They get another Power 5 opponent this week, but a longer trip and an opponent with more talent...Indiana 27, UI 17.
EWU at Oregon (FBS Pac-12)---In years past, this would be a good chance for the Eagles to get a big win. But after a close win at home last week and facing a bigger school who got embarrassed nationally, things may not be good here...Oregon 45, EWU 17.
San Diego (Pioneer) at CP---The Mustangs didn't look too bad in stepping up a level last week and now get to return to the FCS with a game against a non-scholly school who has given them problems in the past. But not this year...CP 28, San Diego 24.
