Here is the Sports Networks prediction:
No. 3 Eastern Washington (5-2, 3-0 Big Sky) at No. 10 Montana (6-1, 3-1)
Kickoff: 3:40 p.m.
What to know: In one of the biggest weekends in FCS football, this matchup between two highly touted Big Sky teams serves as one of the national spotlights, and the only contest featuring two Top 10 teams.
Eastern Washington and Montana are both balanced teams with extremely efficient and dangerous quarterbacks, with leaders on the defensive side of the football as well. The specific matchup people will be watching is Vernon Adams and the Eagles' offensive attack versus the speedy, athletic and very strong Montana defense.
Montana defensive end Zack Wagenmann is tied for second in the conference in averaging 1.6 tackles for loss per game. The Grizzlies also are tied for sixth in the FCS in averaging 1.4 turnovers forced per game.
Adams has thrown six interceptions this season, which, when you take into consideration his high number of pass attempts, isn't bad at all. But his counterpart in this contest, Jordan Johnson, flat out does not give the ball away. The only interception he's thrown this season came last weekend against Cal Poly.
The winner of this game will be the team making the fewest mistakes because both teams should be able to put up points in this one.
