Chadron State - Long road trip, but I think Chadron wins. If they don't, it could spell a long season for the Eagles.
Eastern New Mexico - Greyhounds get the job done and are much more comfortable back in the triple
Grand Valley State - I don't bet against the Lakers as a rule of thumb though I think the spread may bite me here
South Dakota School of Mines - I want to pummel the Vikings into the ground. I grew up on the ramps watching us get destroyed by these Dakota Athletic Conference teams (except Mayville and Dakota State, they're still cool). Time for some payback. I HATE us scheduling non D2 games, but I'll allow exceptions if we can beat up Jamestown, Valley City, and Dickinson.
St. Thomas - The Pioneer League is DI in name only, but UST could be legit. Curious to see how they do against the Yotes and Harvard. BH loses respectably.
William Jewell College - The cellar dweller bowl. This game is peak sickos committee material right here. WJ is bad, but not bad enough to go with FLC.
Kingsville - Veteran team handles business on the road.
Western Colorado - Mountaineers get their revenge in the thin air.
Adams State - Lincoln has the most random schedule I've ever seen. Originally got Bishop Sycamore vibes, but I think it might be legit. Either way, Adams wins.
CSU Pueblo - Another good LSC-RMAC crossover game. I think CSUP outlasts the mustangs.

Chadron State @ Quincy University (PK) - Quincy didn't look like they did much last year. Neither did Chadron frankly. No outcome surprises me here, but the homer pick is CSC.

New Mexico Hilghlands @ Eastern New Mexico (-5.5) - Feel similarly here. ENM is at home.

Grand Valley State (-7.5) @ Colorado School of Mines I think I might take Mines straight up here. I'm curious how the defense looks with the loss of Moore pushing the buttons, but it may take a few seasons for that to become truly clear. In the meantime, Mines still has Matocha and company and will be at home, where they have been very tough.

Valley City State @ South Dakota School of Mines (PK) This one should be a breeze and SDSM wins big.

Black Hills State@ St. Thomas (PK) STC is huge, I think that alone is enough. BHSU built big momentum last year, hopefully this tough start isn't indicative of how this season will go.

Fort Lewis @ William Jewell College (-12.5) William Jewell is bad. FLC, well...

Kingsville @ Colorado Mesa (-2.5) I just don't trust Mesa after last season.

West Texas A&M @ Western Colorado (-4.5) WTAM has never lost to Western. But, I think the first game of the year at extreme altitude has got to help.

Lincoln CA @ Adams State (PK) Adams is my pick for riser of the year in the RMAC. I can see them pulling off 5-6 wins. It starts with this one.

MSU Texas @ CSU Pueblo (-6.5) If Pueblo is serious about challenging Mines in conference and the region in the PO's, they need to win these games. The did so convincingly last year and I think they do it again this year, although not as handily.
