Current Standings
Zach: 91-16 (.850)DJ: 69-15 (.821)
Brett: 87-20 (.813)
Fri. Nov. 12 -- 7:00 pm MT -- ESPN2
ZACH: The Massacre at Kibbie. In 3D. The pathetic Vandal defense surrendered over 800 yards of total offense to Nevada. The Boise O is better. The inebriated masses in Moscow aint gonna have a good night. BOISE 52 IDAHO 14
BRETT: I can't believe the Kibbie Dome is going to be on air in 3D. The only thing worse than Kibbie in 3D would be one of those birthing videos you watch in high school health class. I have a feeling Boise State is no longer going to take the nice guy approach, or they will get stuck in the Fight Hunger Bowl. BOISE 70 IDAHO 17
DJ: BOISE 45 IDAHO 14
ROBBIE: BOISE 56 IDAHO 14
BYU (4-5) @ COLORADO ST (3-7)
Sat. Nov 13 -- 12:00 pm MT -- The MTN
ZACH: BYU has an opportunity to pick up its first road victory. Luckily for the inept BYU passing offense, the Ram secondary is atrocious. CSU is much better in Ft. Collins and BYU hasn't shown an ability to compete, let alone win, on the road. So...it may be closer than it should. BYU 31 CSU 21
BRETT: My colleagues say "could be close" but then pick BYU by 2 scores? CSU is better at home, and BYU has yet to win on the road this year ... although road losses to Florida State, Air Force, and TCU aren't exactly anything to be ashamed of. Cougars in a squeaker. BYU 34 CSU 31
DJ: Even though BYU was playing UNLV, they figured out who they are - but this could be a close game. BYU 35 CSU 20
ROBBIE: BYU 31 CSU 21
#14 UTAH (8-1) @ NOTRE DAME (4-5)
12:30 pm MT -- NBC
ZACH: The Utes look to exercise their horrific nightmare from last weekend. Thankfully for the U, the Irish aren't good. Luckily for the Utes, more people will be watching this ballgame than their last one. Thanks MTN TV contract. No, really. UTAH 33 ND 21
BRETT: Not even close. Notre Dame is reeling and Utah is absolutely embarrassed. No way a Kyle Whittingham team loses this one. They will come out firing on all cylinders and dominate like they did in Ames, Iowa. UTAH 49 ND 20
DJ: I have absolutely no idea on this game. I knew TCU would win last week and this week I want to call this game my "upset special" but I can't pick against Brother Kyle Gregory Whittingham twice in as many weeks. UTAH 34 ND 30
ROBBIE: UTAH 28 ND 24
SAN DIEGO ST (7-2) @ #3 TCU (10-0)
2:00 pm MT -- VERSUS
ZACH: It is impossible for TCU to play as well as it did last week. The country is buzzing about the Frogs and their possible national title shot. San Diego State still hasn't proven to be capable of beating a good team on the road. Not gonna happen this week. TCU 31 SDSU 10
BRETT: TCU starts slow, builds momentum, and grinds this game away. TCU 34 SDSU 20
DJ: TCU 38 SDSU 15
ROBBIE: TCU 37 SDSU 10
NEW MEXICO (1-8) @ AIR FORCE (6-4)
4:00 pm MT -- The MTN
ZACH: Fresh off their Commander-In-Chief clinching victory over Army, the Falcons are about to open a can of you-know-what on the lowly Lobos. Hey, at least the Lobos won last week, right? AFA 45 UNM 10
BRETT: Air Force is going to light it up like Navy lit up East Carolina. AFA 55 UNM 15
DJ: AFA 37 UNM 12
ROBBIE: AFA 34 UNM 14
LOUISIANA TECH (3-6) @ NEW MEXICO ST (2-7)
4:00 pm MT -- ESPN3.com
ZACH: The Bulldogs and Aggies were both handed hard-to-swallow losses last week in conference play. The Bulldogs are simply a better team. LATECH 31 NMSU 23
BRETT: LATECH 28 NMSU 14
DJ: LATECH 31 NMSU 16
ROBBIE: LATECH 24 NMSU 17
UTAH ST (3-6) @ SAN JOSE ST (1-8)
6:00 pm MT
ZACH: San Jose State's only victory is over an FCS squad. USU isn't an FCS squad. Therefore, USU 29 SJSU 13
BRETT: The Aggies struggle again but will prevail. USU 27 SJSU 21
DJ: USU 30 SJSU 13
ROBBIE: USU 28 SJSU 14
WYOMING (2-8) @ UNLV (1-8)
8:00 pm MT -- The MTN
ZACH: Both teams are coming off horrendous week. Which was worse? UNLV getting pasted by 7 TD's against an average BYU team? Or Wyoming losing to the worst team ever to don Division 1 football attire? WYO 21 UNLV 20
BRETT: Dave Christensen will have his Cowboys fired up and ready to roll. Pokes fans can hit the slots early. WYO 38 UNLV 17
DJ: I kinda want to watch this game based on the sheer horribleness factor. WYO 30 UNLV 20
ROBBIE: UNLV 28 WYO 24
#21 NEVADA (8-1) @ FRESNO ST (6-2)
8:30 pm MT -- ESPN
ZACH: The Wolfpack compiled 841 yards of total offense last week against Idaho. Fresno is much better than the Vandals, but not good enough to compete. La Pistola! NEVADA 45 FRESNO 24
BRETT: After losing at Hawaii, Nevada is locked in and determined to host Boise with only 1 loss on its resume. NEVADA 44 FRESNO 21
DJ: This should be a great game. I feel very good about Fresno St., but I think Nevada will bring just enough. NEVADA 40 FRESNO 35
ROBBIE: NEVADA 41 FRESNO 34
