Big Sky Pick'em Week 4

[wapiti]

This is the last week of most of the OOC games. Interesting start to the season with EWU having struggles and NC and ISU looking improved. From my view of the Big Sky, overall it looks like improved football from last year, especially with ISU and NC. NAU looking to be a bit more consistent with quality ball. Also, we will see if something is up with the BBQ's kicking game. And PSU calling in sick game may throw a kink in playoff selection come end of the season.

EWU 17 @ Nevada 35 --- EWU takes on former MSU HC Choate. EWU lost to a Pioneer team. They do not stand much of a chance against an FBS team.

Western Carolina 22 @ UM 38 --- UM moving a step up in compitition from last weekend, but should not be too challenging for the Griz.

Mercyhurst 10 @ MSU 48 --- I heard Mercyhurst may be the worst rated FCS team. MSU plays 2's and 3's in the 2nd half and that is when Mercyhurst will score

Southern Utah 32 @ ISU 21 --- ISU is starting to right the ship, but that will take some time. Southern Utah is a decent team and takes a road W.

NAU 21 @ Incarnate Word 24 --- Incarnate Word was a playoff team last season, but looks like they lost some talent. NAU showed flashes last season and looks improved this season. This could be a dandy of a game. I will give the nod to home field advantage.

Sac State 28 @ Texas A&M-Commerce 17 --- Sac State needs W's after losing 2 FBS games. Texas AMC look improved from last year, but comes up short in this one.

Weber 38 @ Northwestern State 24 --- Weber appears to have issue with the kicking game, but the rest of the team is good. Northwestern is not looking good.

Idaho 32 @ Abilene Christian 25 --- AC gave Texas Tech a close game, but also gave Northern Colorado a close game. Idaho is looking really good this year.

NC 25 @ Stephen F Austin 24 --- UNCU had a close one last weekend. Game is in Nacogdoches. This could be a close one.

Portland State 13 @ Boise State 48 --- PSU collecting a check and a big L

Utah Tech 17 @ UC Davies 35 --- Nice game for the Aggies to work on some issues they may have saw in the first few games and maybe even get the 2's and 3's some extra playing time.

Nevada over Eastern - Choate gets the elusive win over EWU
UM over Western Carolina - Catamounts will cover the 16.5, but Gris pull it out
Cats over Mercyhurst - Mercy
Idaho St over Southern Utah - Big Sky bias I guess, and the vaunted quonset
Word over NAU - I'll balance out my Big Sky bias above. NAU drops a close one
Sac St over Commerce - Stingers up
Weber St over NW St - Should be a relatively easy bounce back
Idaho over ACU - Might be close, but Vandals escape
Northern Colorado over SFA - Not picking the home team here anytime soon for biased reasons. More like Jackholes right?
Boise St over Portland St - From whooping cough to a plain whooping
UC Davis over Utah Tech - Good tune up game before next week's showdown with Idaho

I’m watching the Idaho game. The Abilene Christian stadium is pretty nice. And it’s packed!

Big Sky was garbage today. Idaho and UM were trash. I can’t believe Um didn’t smoke WC. Maybe they’re on last years plan. Idaho should’ve won by at least 20. I was thinking BSC belongs with G6 teams but not after today. Better off going D2
