Cats @ UC-Davis Predictions

[BleedingBLue]

Let's get this party started. Both teams have more than likely locked up a top 8 seed. The Cats top 6, Davis top 8.

Saturday is the de-facto conference championship game. The winner can have no worse than one conference loss, and everyone else has at least two. Winner gets the auto bid.

Davis is a solid team, no debating that. The big question is, are they on the same level as the Cats? I don't think they are. They have a good but not great OL. We have four RBs who could go for 100 any game, they have one. Hastings is mobile enough, but he's nothing like Tommy. Their defense has been good, but not that good. They are 47th in total defense. The Cats are definitely the better team.

This will be a game where both the pass game and run game need to compliment each other and play off each other for the offense to be successful. The Davis front 7 is good, and they stop the run well. Pounding the rock, wearing down the D and utilizing play action will help propel us to victory.

The Cats D is under appreciated this year. There isn't an offense we have faced that's been anywhere near as good as the rest of their games. The pass D has been particularly strong all year, even against some good passers. Limiting Larison on the ground and through the air will be the biggest key for the defense. I noted in a other thread, Hastings is the least explosive 3000 yard passer I have ever seen. Davis dinks and dunks down the field, and doesn't go after huge plays too often.

If this game was at home, I'd predict a 3 score win. On the road in front of a solid crowd, not 3 scores.

Cats - 38
Agricultural Academics - 23

Julius,Tommy and Scottre rush for over 100. Rohan with 2 TD’s and Brody has 3 sacks. 42-24 cats. Their kicker has 4 field goals.

[Catsrgrood]

35-21 Cats with a fairly late score to get it there. I could see this being a game where the Cats are just the better team but it’s within 7-10 points most of the game keeping it close, but never necessarily feels like the outcome is in doubt.

34-31 cats. Tommy leads a last minute drive to win it at the buzzer.

It will be a good game, but I think Cats are best team in the league. 31-20 Cats head into Cat/griz in search and destroy mode.

38-10

[Monymony]

41-17. We dominate the line of scrimmage, control Lan, and show the country how much of a gap there is between the top 3-4 and everyone else. These two games will show us if we will win a national championship or grind to make it to Frisco.

Cats 41
Agronomists. 37

I’ll then take the point difference between Idaho or Portland.

[MSU01]

Cats 31, Davis 16. I just think the Bobcats are better from watching the two teams play and also from scores against common opponents.

Cats 35
Aggies 23

Cats score 5 TDs. Aggies score 5 times but 3 are FGs.

Cats score early and Davis has to play catch up all game. (I really like the 2 and 3 play drives - maybe we get a couple).

See ya there!

31 -17 Cats!
