FCS Pick ‘Em – Week 9

Well Jeff is waiting for me to wave the white flag here, that’s not going to happen, although I will admit a seven-game deficit with four weeks of play left is about as dire a situation as there is. I was considering putting some New York Division 3 hockey picks on here to try and gain some sort of advantage, but I can’t do that in the spirit of competition. We have 2 ranked matchups this week, but that doesn’t mean plenty of good games, our NDSU-Southern Illinois pick will be here on the pregame show tomorrow and also in tomorrow’s Forum, good luck!

  1. EWU is in for a game at suu. Suu had MSu on the ropes at home and beat Montana on the road. Sorensen has some gunslinger in him, and they will shock #1 at home

  2. 1-E. Kentucky
    2-Wofford
    3-Indiana State
    4-I’m gonna take Western Illinois and the upset
    5-S. Utah beats EW away from home and the red turf!
    6-SDSU & Zenner(Tyler Roehl Jr.) pound Youngstown. 35-13. How bad is Pitt?
    7-Towson
    8-Montana State wins but UND gives them a game 31-30.
    9-Northern Iowa plays spoiler again this week.
    10-Ga. Southern
    11-CalPoly
    12-Yale
    13-ODU
    14-NDSU-24 Southern Illinois-17 another tough game hopefully the Bison come out with no major injuries.

    I think EWU will beat SUU handily. After watching SUU play at MT, MT did everything they could that game to make sure they didn’t win that game. The 4th and 2 late in the 4th where MT dropped the return team back 5 yards back is quite possibly the stupiedest coaching move of all time.

    As for the Bison game I will take NDSU 27-6 over SIU. Everyone is talking about the SIU defense but NDSU’s D is flat out better.

    Go Bison!

  4. ■Eastern Ill. at (18) Eastern Kentucky- Eastern Kentucky
    ■The Citadel at (8) Wofford- Wofford
    ■South Dakota at (18) Indiana State- Indiana State, but would be nice if USD wins.
    ■Western Illinois at Missouri State- Western Illinois
    ■(1) Eastern Washington at S. Utah- Eastern Washington, big game next week for Eagles against Cal Poly.
    ■(21) Youngstown St at SDSU- SDSU, how are the Penguins still ranked, and above the Jacks. Yea they beat Pitt, but have lost to about every one else, the loss to the Bison destroyed them.
    ■(25) Towson at (23) Villanova- Villanova
    ■North Dakota at (4) Montana State- Montana State. UND had no running game last week against the Griz, and to think only 659 yards passing doesn’t win the game. That type of offense will be tough to run in outdoor conditions this time of year, heard it snowed in Bozeman on Tuesday.
    ■(17) Illinois State at Northern Iowa- Northern Iowa
    ■(2) Georgia Southern at Chattanooga- Georgia Southern
    ■(11) Cal Poly at Sacramento State- Cal Poly

    ■Yale at Columbia- Yale

    Southern Illinois at NDSU- NDSU, another great matchup in the Valley. Whoever makes the least mistakes and gets the advantage in Special Teams wins this game. Looking forward to seeing this game. Go Bison.

  6. only one game that matters and I am sick to my stomach thinking about this, but it will be SIU 24 to Bison 10. Trust me, no one is a bigger Herd fan than I, but I have not had good vibes this whole week. The main reason is this just seems to be a different season and Bubba D always seems to get our goat. I want to be wrong on this pick, trust me.

    • SIU’s offense is very mediocre at best. This Bison defense will be able to handle anything SIU runs at it. As long as the Bison offense does not turn the ball over this game is a Bison win.

      Bison 31-9
