Now that it's customary for MSU to make the playoffs every year AND get a bye, it's always fun to spend the Saturday after Thanksgiving watching Round 1 stress free! My picks for this weekend's games:

SEMO 34, #12 Illinois State 27. SEMO gets the (not really an) upset win playing at home.
#10 URI 42, CCSU 21
#16 UNH 31, UT-Martin 24. UNH makes their third playoff visit to Bozeman.
#9 Richmond 28, Lehigh 13. Richmond vs Idaho will be a great 2nd round game.
#11 Villanova 21, EKU 13
#13 Tarleton State 42, Drake 10. Easiest matchup of the first round on paper.
NAU 31, #15 Abilene Christian 29: Brian Wright and NAU pull off the upset.
Tennessee State 27, #14 Montana 20. The miserable season in Missoula comes to a premature end as Logan Fife exits the stadium through the transfer portal instead of the locker room.

I freaking love it! ESPN+ is the greatest thing ever.
Watched some of the UT-Martin game against Lindenwood. I don't think they're quite as good as last time we played them when they had that defensie lineman from Alabama (or some other SEC school). Their quarterback is quiet the gunslinger and runs well.
I think the griz roll by 2 or 3 touchdowns.
We'll see.
