South Dakota State at Oklahoma State picks and predictions

Prediction

Oklahoma State 38, South Dakota State 20

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on Oklahoma State (-365) to take down the Jackrabbits (+285) on opening day.

Against the spread

BET OKLAHOMA STATE -9.5 (-120).

While South Dakota State is the top FCS school in the nation currently and is returning QB Mark Gronowski, it will be unable to compete against an Oklahoma State team that fell just 4 times last season. In front of its home crowd, expect the Cowboys to dominate on both ends of the ball. A quick start for the Cowboys is all it will take to bury the Jackrabbits.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 54.5 (-110).

While the Cowboys will be expected to dominate on Saturday and will be forced to carry a majority of the load, South Dakota State is capable of finding the end zone. Gronowski is a dual-threat QB which will open up opportunities for his squad to score. The total may come down to garbage time, but both teams are more than able to reach it.

Letter: Why do North Dakota Republican politicians fear ethics?

Ethics is a system of moral principles guiding behavior, defining what’s right, wrong, fair, and good for individuals and society, essentially asking, “What should we do?”

A commission is a group of people officially charged with a particular function.

The citizens of North Dakota voted for and passed an Ethics Commission measure. The Ethics Commission has infuriated the North Dakota Republican legislators and North Dakota government in general. (NOTE: Every elected state government official in North Dakota is Republican.) They have denied that any monitoring of ethics is needed.

North Dakota Republicans have done everything possible to make sure the Ethics Commission has virtually no teeth, no say, and remains invisible under constant attack by the Attorney General’s Office.

Why do Go. Armstrong, Attorney General Wrigley and the Republican members of the North Dakota Legislature fear ethics?

Henry Lebak lives in Bismarck.
