Bad week for the MVFC. I think UNI could possibly upset Iowa State.
 
Nobody else going to give their predictions? Simply quote the first post and bold the teams you think are going to win. The add any comments. Some audience participation would be AWESOME here!

The fact that a Missouri state fan said that he expects they will beat Arkansas kept me laughing for days.

The most interesting game for me is the SIU - SEMO game. SEMO had a huge turnaround last year (much bigger than ours), but lost a lot. I'm hoping for a UNI upset more than thinking it will happen, but I'm going with it. The Thursday games will tell a lot about the strength of the MVFC--I'm rooting for ILS and WIU (I wish we were still playing Eastern - it would be nice to pay them back).

Sam Houston State up 13-0 over Western Illinois at the half.

EIU is up 12-2 on Illinois State with about 4 minutes left in the second quarter.
 
Illinois State scores before the half, trail 12-9 af the half.

Sam Houston State scores again, up 20-0 on WIU.
 
Kentucky is at WKU tonight after this Murray State-Louisville game, be interesting to see if WKU is any good.

Murray State looks good vs. Louisville too by the way.
