Hero Sports' take on the game:

https://herosports.com/fcs/football-2019-predictions-12-weber-montana-bzbz

No. 3 Weber State @ No. 5 Montana

Brian: Montana 28-24​

With Dalton Sneed re-emerging for Montana last weekend in the Idaho win, I have to say this: If Sneed does what he was doing prior to being injured against Sacramento State in mid-October ... and he can lead the Griz to wins over Weber State and Montana State in the Brawl of the Wild next week? My goodness, that might just make the Walter Payton Award race turn on its ear. If Sneed is ready for Weber State's defense --- easily the toughest in the Big Sky and one of the best in the entire FCS -- this one should be interesting. Weber State is a tough out, there's no question, but I have a feeling about this one and the home team. Then the big question emerges ... what about the final week?

Sam: Montana 28-27

This is a chance for the Griz to grab a huge resume-boosting win and show how legit they are. There are a lot of matchups to watch for in this game. Montana's offensive line has improved after struggling last year, but how well does it hold up against a tremendous defensive front? How does the young Weber secondary do against one of the top passing attacks in the FCS? UND threw for nearly 300 yards last week in a near-upset at Weber. And two of Weber's top three rushers were knocked out of last week's game, including Josh Davis. If they can't go, how much success can the Wildcats have on offense? If this game is played in Ogden, I'd go with Weber. But I'll go with Montana here in an electric home atmosphere.

All makes, models and versions.
 
This "easily the toughest in the BSC" thing....not sure I'm willing to give up that moniker just yet.

In BSC play, Montana has given up 18 TD's, Weber 19. Because of a few extra FG's, the point differential is just 0.8 ppg. Rushing D Weber gives up just 82.7, but Montana isn't too shabby, giving up just 113.3, a mere 37 ypg difference. Passing, they give up 272.2 while Griz give up 277.8. Total D is just 41 yards different. They've given up 14 pass TD's to 7 INT's, while Griz have been hit by just 12 passing TD's with 6 INT's.

In fact, they give up 5.7 per play, while MSU sits atop the BSC at just 4.7 per play...

I know they're tough, and it'll be a tough out on Saturday, but crowning them as having the "toughest D in the BSC" is a bit of a stretch.

And BTW our O is way further ahead of their O than their D is against our D.
 
On Riley Corcoran's inside the den podcast Sam Herder said that when Montana is good it's good for the FCS. I think we can all agree with that.
