Indy St @ NDSU
Ill St @ UNI

[JBB]

WIU* @ MoSt
YSU* @ SDSU
Indy St @ NDSU* Obviously
Ill St* @ UNI If parity is the word UNI goes down.

[Thumper 76]

WIU @ MoSt MSU has struggled all year to come through in the close games.
YSU @ SDSU Super tough to beat the Jacks on Hobo Day, no matter what their record is.
Indy St @ NDSU The Trees are on a roll man.
Ill St @ UNI Tough to win in the UNI Dome

[clenz]

The following teams FTW

WIU - I would love to see Misery State pull this one out, but I don't see it.
SDSU - at home, hobo days, playing well...Jacks big
NDSU - I wanted to go ISUB here because NDSU has sucked in conference play, but I'm not sold on ISUB
UNI - UNI gets payback for last year. Homecoming for UNI, a rejuvenated team. ISUR gives up 452 ypg on defense and UNI puts up 420 yards of offense per game...Pay back is a bitch

I am not sure man... I have picked the first game both ways...
I like TA but I am gonna go with WIU...too many weapons not to win this one....
YSU-beats up on SDSU...
Sycamores- Gonna be another great game but who do you trust more with the game on the line Jose or Ronnie fouch?
UNI- this is a really close game to me because both teams are very inconsistent...

[guinzone]

I am picking YSU. We are bound to not lose a game in the last 60 seconds one of the weeks. We are hungry for a win... I am not picking the others cause I will be wrong on them all lol.

[MSUBear42]

WIU @ *MO St* Home games are nice for MSU
YSU @ *SDSU* Not sure on this one
Indy St @ *NDSU* sorry sycs, you really aren't that good, msu just had a meltdown against you
Ill St @ *UNI*

[Jacksfan29]

WIU @ MoSt - WIU
YSU @ SDSU - SDSU
Indy St @ NDSU - Ind State (Bison go 1-4)
Ill St @ UNI - UNI

The only tight game of the weekend will be in Fargo.

[Theee Catrabbit]

MoSt: Mo State keeps it's focus this week
SDSU: Hobo Day, it's just tough to beat State on Hobo Day, took McNeese State 4 OT's to finally win a few years ago.
Indy St: NDSU is collapsing on itself. Sharks are in the water.
Ill St Because they have to

Indy St @ *NDSU* sorry sycs, you really aren't that good, msu just had a meltdown against you

I remember hearing this from MSU fans last week too....

You guys have a few good players, but your team just isn't that impressive, sorry.

[dgreenwell3]

I guess we will see...I didnt know that winning back to back MVFC games one by 35 points and the other in a 4th quarter 14 point comeback was unimpressive but I just think some fans would rather Indiana State stay in the cellar because if they aren't in the cellar...that puts them in the cellar...

You played the teams with the worst defenses in the league.


I know UNI hasn't put many points up this year, but with ISUR's defense being as bad as it is I fully expect our offense to put about 40 up on them.

[dgreenwell3]

Those teams with the worst defenses also have some if not the best offenses...

[clenz]

I'll have to check the stats on that one.

What do you consider best? Putting up a lot of points or yards per game? Well, that depends on the opponents they played as to how impressive that is. something like 600 of ISUR's yards came against a D2 team, in a game where they played 7 on 7.

[dgreenwell3]

In total offense,
Illinois State is 29th in the NCAA FCS and MO state is 7th...I would say they are among the best....

[clenz]

Ok, I did some looking...

Illinois State's offense is bottom half of the league, in terms of conference play, but Misery States is at the top in terms of points scored.

However, if we want to go in terms of "total offense" Missouri State is 5th, Illinois State is 6th.

Like I suspected, Illinois State's defense is 8th in the conference, Missouri State's is 9th.

[dgreenwell3]

the best overall offensive team statistics wise is Western Illinois....O no I am not saying that either teams know's defense from their left nostril...

[clenz]

In total offense,
Illinois State is 29th in the NCAA FCS and MO state is 7th...I would say they are among the best....

Illinois State is 6th in the MVFC in total offense, so your 29th means nothing to me.
