So, as it turns out, Daver has this picks things down pat. He was 8-2-1 last week, only getting wrong Michigan Tech\/North Dakota and one of the Alaska\/Bemidji State games. And he was almost exactly spot on with the BGSU\/Minnesota State game, getting the scores almost exactly right (he was off by one in MSU’s win Saturday). So how will we do this week? We’ve got a good mix of noconference and conference action, so let’s get right into it.<\/p>\n
Daver last week:<\/strong> 8-2-1<\/p>\n Jack last week:<\/strong> 6-4-1<\/p>\n Daver this season:<\/strong> 17-5-1<\/p>\n Jack this season:<\/strong> 29-19-4<\/p>\n St. Cloud at Northern Michigan<\/strong><\/p>\n This series was a pretty-one sided affair last year in St. Cloud, but the Wildcats — undefeated since the first game of the season — hope for a much better showing at home in Marquette.<\/p>\n Jack:<\/strong> NMU sweeps, 4-2, 5-4<\/p>\n Daver:<\/strong> SCSU Friday 3-1, NMU Saturday 4-2<\/p>\n Ferris State at\/vs. Western Michigan<\/strong><\/p>\n The Bulldogs have had a tough go of it so far but they’re actually doing pretty well in nocnonference play — they’re 2-1 with wins over Colgate and Miami. Daver and I disagree how well they’ll do this week.<\/p>\n Jack:<\/strong> WMU wins 4-2Friday, Ferris wins 3-2 Saturday<\/p>\n Daver:<\/strong> Western sweeps 4-1, 5-2<\/p>\n Arizona State at Alaska<\/strong><\/p>\n We already know that Alaska has been the pleasant surprise of the WCHA season so far. It seems like they’ll keep that success going this week.<\/p>\n Jack:<\/strong> Alaska sweeps 5-3, 3-1<\/p>\n Daver:<\/strong> ASU Friday 4-1, Alaska Saturday 3-2<\/p>\n Lake Superior at Bemidji State<\/strong><\/p>\n Of the three nonconference series this weekend, this one seems most intriguing to me. Lake Superior\/Bemidji series have been typically hard-fought, and I think this will be no different.<\/p>\n Jack:<\/strong> BSU wins 4-2 on Friday, LSSU wins 3-1 on Saturday<\/p>\n Daver:<\/strong> LSSU sweeps 4-3, 3-2<\/p>\n Alaska Anchorage at Alabama Huntsville<\/strong><\/p>\n A hard one to pick, since neither team has exactly been lighting the conference ablaze right so far. This seems like a split for both teams.<\/p>\n Jack:<\/strong> UAA wins 4-2 Friday, UAH wins 3-1 Saturday<\/p>\n Daver:<\/strong> UAH Friday 2-1, UAA Saturday 3-1<\/p>\n Minnesota State at Michigan Tech<\/strong><\/p>\n Minnesota State is coming off their first loss of the season, while Tech had a tough single game at North Dakota. This should be a well-played series.<\/p>\n Jack:<\/strong> MSU sweeps 3-1, 3-2<\/p>\n Daver:<\/strong> MSU Friday 3-0, MTU Saturday 2-1<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So, as it turns out, Daver has this picks things down pat.
