MVFC Picks Week 7

[Gil Dobie]

I was 1-4 last week, so if you pick the same as me, you might be in trouble.

SDSU (1-4) @ SIU (3-3) Home field advantage here
NDSU (4-2) @ Illinois St (3-3) Homer pick
MSU (2-3) @ Indiana St (3-2) I'm on the Sycamore bandwagon this week
UNI (2-3) @ USD (3-3) UNI should win easy
YSU (3-3) @ WIU (4-2) Picking another home team hear

[clenz]

UNI is at USD, not SDSU


I'll go with

SIU
ISUR
MSU
UNI
YSU

[Gil Dobie]

UNI is at USD, not SDSU

FIFY

[ISUSycamores23]

SIU
NDSU
Indiana State
UNI
WIU

[DJH]

SIU wins at home.
NDSU wins (?) Tough one
MSU beats powerhouse Sycamores
UNI should easily beat USD
YSU gets a tough road win

[JBB]

SDSU (1-4) @ SIU (3-3) SIU salvaged a fading season last week and SDSU, a respected team just a couple weeks ago, seems to have found some footing. Big win, let down? Maybe. Im picking the Jack Rabbits.

NDSU (4-2) @ Illinois St (3-3) The BISON are figting for the season. The are banged up and on the road. This is the most significant contest of the year for The HERD. They will win on the road.

MSU (2-3) @ Indiana St (3-2) I like the MSU

UNI (2-3) @ USD (3-3) I like the Yotes.

YSU (3-3) @ WIU (4-2) These are hard hitting physical ball clubs. I like the running game of YSU even though it's the week after the BISON. Silly me for going against the "Stuffing Phenomena".

SDSU (1-4) @ SIU (3-3): SDSU looked good against WIU.. Could knock off SIU.
NDSU (4-2) @ Illinois St (3-3): NDSU looks good, but this league is f'ed up this year lol!
MSU (2-3) @ Indiana St (3-2): 72 to Murray State, 55 to Indiana State.
UNI (2-3) @ USD (3-3): UNI BIG!
YSU (3-3) @ WIU (4-2): This will be a war. YSU running game gets YSU the victory. YSU blew a 17pt lead to MSU two weeks back and a 10pt lead to NDSU last week, Wolford won't let it happen again.

[mgbison]

Timeout
Guinzone, I wouldn't say YSU blew a 10 point lead. NDSU had the lead for 3+ quarters. If you would have been up 10 points with say 3 minutes left in the game and lost, I'd buy the blew a 10 pt lead.

SIU - at home and not sold on SDSU offense
NDSU - ISUr is falling apart and they may have the worst defense in the conference.
MSU - gut feeling
YSU - gonna be a high scoring game, but the Bison need WIU to lose

[ISUSycamores23]

If you don't think that Indiana State will beat MSU, then you need to get your head checked.

[clenz]

Wow, Indiana State finally wins a D1 game and their fans come flying out of the woodwork.

[guinzone]

If you don't think that Indiana State will beat MSU, then you need to get your head checked.

I think you guys will win for the simple fact that MSU has no defense whatsoever.

[dgreenwell3]

Woah woah...if you want to blame anyone for my presence here...blame Cap'n cat...he told me DAYS before the Sycamore victory to come here...I am not one of the sycamore fans who thinks we are unbeatable...now granted I do think that ISU fans should have the belief of "WHY NOT US???" when I speak to ISU players they have that feeling...UNI is a perrenial powerhouse but WHY NOT US??? I know it's a serious longshot but give us a chance...

Anyone from NDSU making the trip to Normal this weekend?

[JayJ79]

Anyone from NDSU making the trip to Normal this weekend?

nobody from NDSU will ever be anywhere near normal.....
oh wait, you meant the town. my bad.

[mebison]

Anyone from NDSU making the trip to Normal this weekend?

Yep, I'll be coming over and meeting up with some old college friends who work in Peoria. There has been talk of a group of Chicago alumni taking the train down as well. First (and likely only) Bison game in person for me this year, so I'm looking forward to it!


I'll concede JayJ's point about being near normal, though....

Normal people are rather boring.

[siuham]

SDSU @ SIU - SDSU's record doesn't mean jack, really. Home field takes care of it I hope.
NDSU @ Illinois St - NDSU is rolling right now and ISU is struggling.
MSU @ Indiana St - Stats last week are ridiculous, this game is a push but I'll pick history.
UNI (2-3) @ USD (3-3) - Easy win.
YSU (3-3) @ WIU (4-2) - WIU didn't look bad against SDSU, they had a good chance to win - their QB just made a bad decision.

[dgreenwell3]

SIU-Salukis have too much talent to not live up to it at this point.
NDSU-I really want to pick Illinois State but after we dropped 59 on them last week I just don't see it.
ISU-In a GREAT game I just see Rick Minter the difference maker as everyone saw the Sycamore defense shut out the redbirds explosive offense in the second half.
UNI- I am just picking the MVFC team, I have never seen USD play but didnt they beat Minnesota?
WIU-This team may win the Valley...

Wow, Indiana State finally wins a D1 game and their fans come flying out of the woodwork.

And they all of a sudden cock of the walk too.

SDSU (1-4) @ SIU (3-3) I like the fact that SIU gave up 350 yds rushing to UNI.
NDSU (4-2) @ Illinois St (3-3) The Thundering Turd is on a bit of a roll, and Ill. St. just got butchered.
MSU (2-3) @ Indiana St (3-2) A team that put up 59 on a MVFC team should really go to town on a team that allowed 70 to a bad OVC team
UNI (2-3) @ USD (3-3) UNI should win easy
YSU (3-3) @ WIU (4-2) WIU is a good team, the Jacks just finally overcame their qb shortcomings and dropped passes.
