FCS Pick ‘Em – Week 3 | BISON Media Blog

Two weeks in and I’m already needing a comeback, Kolpack has bragged about his FCS knowledge to whoever who will listen, he picked up a game on me last week with Appalachian State beating Montana to go 11-3, while I went 10-4. That sets up what should be a great slate of games here for Week 3, with some tough decisions coming! Enjoy!

Cal Poly, Dom? Oh my…
I do like the Stony Brook pick though.

Jeff, you picked every game correctly. Nice work.

Ill State
Indy State
The Jacks
Montana
UNI in an upset!
The Bobcats
Syracuse squeaks it out
Youngstown State
Wyoming
Dale Lennon gets a must win!
I’d like to pick Sam Houston but Baylor will win.
San Diego State win a close one.
Missouri State
Appy State

The Sue go toe to toe with the Aztecs and lose 41-13. After their QB ties a record with 6 TDs last week, he throws 3 (maybe 4) picks in this one.

I’m 21-4 on the year. I don’t think Dom is crazy picking Stoney Brook although I’m still going to pick Syracuse. Should be a close game. Stoney Brook finished the season almost knocking of Sam Houston in the playoffs, who was plaing well. However I am confident that UNI is going to beat Iowa. Plenty of great non conference games to help me through the bye week … SEMO @SIU, Citadel@Appy, Davis/SDSU, MSU/SFA… heck even Sam Houston @Baylor could be interesting. I think this week will see plenty of suprises.

My picks:
Illinois St
Indiana State
SDSU
Montana
UNI
Montana St (close game)
Syracuse
Youngstown St
Wyoming
So. Illinois
Baylor
San Diego St
Iowa State (closer than one would think)
Missouri State
Appalachian State (very close win)

Confident?

I like both BisonJeff and Gabe’s picks, because they are exactly the same. Are you to drinking beer at the bar together and cheating. I think you are, however, BisonJeff did not pick the Iowa State winner. I bet he did not do it, just to throw us off and think they were not cheating. Dom, you need to put a football helmet on and pound your head against the wall until you knock some sense into your brain and quit picking your east coast goofy teams. Jeff, don’t start strutting around just because you have a three game lead over Dom, I have seen leads like that diminish quicker than a Viking chance at a Super Bowl.
Love the posts, keep up the great coverage, minus the crap the competitors constantly spew.

Sorry I guess I missed the Iowa State game I will take Werstern Illinois I think Iowa and Iowa State are both bad teams this year.

  Illinois St – win (defense exposed)
  Indiana State – win
  SDSU – win
  Montana – win
  UNI – lose (respectable put up 339 yds but still a loss uni committed 7 penalties and lost turnover battle)
  Montana St (close game) win (spot on on close game)
  Syracuse
  Youngstown St – win (defense exposed)
  Wyoming (Wyoming up 15-14 half)
  So. Illinois (SIU up 21-0 in the 2nd)
  Baylor tba
  San Diego St – tba
  Iowa State (closer than one would think)
  Missouri State – tba
  Appalachian State (very close win) loss bad pick

Iowa is terrible and Iowa’s QB is terrible. I think UNI wins that game.

Now I see why Wisconsin fired their offensive line coach this week. UNI’s defensive line has done nothing against Iowa and Iowa’s offensive line is nowhere near as good as Wisconsin’s. UNI’s defense has not been good today. Iowa is without 2 more running backs and they are still running on UNI.

UNI beats Iowa, take it to the bank. Hawks should be 0-2 right now.

Tim on September 16, 2012 at 1:26 pm said:

Glad I didn’t take it to the bank.
GOHAWKS on September 16, 2012 at 11:17 pm said:

I think you need to make a deposit. Too many withdrawls.

Stonybrook over Syracuse?? Are you crazy?!?

UNI will handle Iowa, the 3rd best program in Iowa. North Dakota has already won, simply for scheduling an FBS opponent. They don’t believe in scoreboard losses.

GOHAWKS on September 16, 2012 at 11:16 pm said:

Hows that prediction working for you?

Could you tell me why Bison play South Dakota in Sioux Falls ????? Is the Dakotadome to small for this matchup ?????

Now it shows up when my comment is awaitng moderation. 7 for 7 against the bombers in ’79.

Dom must have taken Kolpack this week. Citadel completely dismantled Appy State. Wow…

SIU and Cal Poly won. Good job Dom!
