Week 4 Prediction Thread-NIL>NIU Edition

[StarkVegasSteve]

Last week was a little light on predictions, which could be expected since it was Alcorn. A slight step up in competition this week but I still think we handle our business and do it comfortably. This is not Toledo. NIU is pretty anemic offensively. Their rush defense is really the only think to write home about. They are pretty putrid everywhere else. I got us 45-6 over the Huskies.

Tiebreakers:

Blake Shapen Pass Yds-285
Thompson and Evans combined receiving yds-165
Times the announcers mention Toledo-Too many

[confucius say]

We win but don't cover.

Shapen 252 pass yards.
BT and AE combine for 143

Shapen 252 pass yards.
BT and AE combine for 143

If we do not cover it better be because they scored a garbage time TD to slide in right under the number.

NIU held Maryland to 20 points. So, I don't think it'll just be a breeze on O. In the same light, NIU has not done much at all on offense.

38-13 State.
Shapen - 313 yards
Thompson and Evans - 216 Combined yards

Lebby Lightning 30 NIU 10

[BrunswickDawg]

This is not 2024 NIU. They are scoring 14 pts a game playing FCS Holy Cross and Maryland and are 1-1.

MSU 42-9

Shapen 277

T&E - 225

Don't care how much they say "Toldeo". I'm thinking we need to adopt it as our audible signal like Manning did with "Omaha".

[MrCoachKlein]

[Pancho]

win and enjoy it. more wins this year will be few and far between

[BorneDawg]

33-17

Shapen 237
Thompson-Evans 173
Toledo .....1 to many

[BulldogBear]

45-13

2 TD passes of 35+ yards

I like these two, so I'll take a stab at it:

NIU over Notre Dame mentioned 3 times as DFO said

Toledo over MSU mentioned 6 times

Ole Miss/Kiffen mentioned 19 times outside of score updates. The score updates will get them talking about Ole Miss because that's what their orders from the Rebels in control of sports media are.

[DownwardDawg]
