The Griz are also a clear favorite to beat North Dakota on the road. That's 7 likely wins. The odds of beating Southern Utah and Cal Poly on the road are about even in my view. So lets assume that they win one of those games (I am not thrilled that the Griz may only be an even bet to beat Southern Utah but it looks like they are a pretty good team). If all of the above happens the Griz have 8 wins. The other 3 games are tough (Wyoming, NDSU and EWU) and the Griz are definite underdogs in each of those games. The Griz have a chance against Wyoming with a new coach and a QB problem but they have lots of returning starters and we are on the road. I don't give the Griz much of a chance against NDSU in their dome and they have lots of returning starters. EWU dominated the Griz last year although we made it interesting at the end. This year I think we have a decent chance but it is still an uphill battle. So I think we go 8-4, which is a solid record when considering the strength of schedule.
You have left out one key factor: Delaney and staff. You know, the guys who kick off twice in a game, that sort of thing.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry but unfortunately you hit that right on. Last season was an improvement but I still have little to no faith in this staff. Hope they prove me, or us wrong. Come on Delaney, pull your head out...
