The MVFC is #13 on Sagarin. The Big Sky #15. The difference isn’t much but week after week it adds up as we see in the comparative statistics of the nations 2 best teams.
it’s two very well matched top notched football teams. MSU is a deserved favorite but close examination has us unfurling the
upset alert flags.
Hedge with the favorite if you like but NDSU plus points and NDSU on the money is where we stand.
The NCC is dead. Long live The NCC.
