Best predictions for the North Dakota State vs Montana State matchup 
Cam Miller scoring anytime ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: +130 via bet365 | Estimated probability: 43.48%

Mellott won the Walter Payton Award as the best FCS player in the country, but he's not the only superstar QB taking the field in this game. Miller ranks among the best players in Bison history.

Not only does he hold the school record for passing yards, surpassing players like Easton Stick and Carson Wentz, but he also ranks fifth in rushing touchdowns for the Bison. He's also scored in four straight games, and against the Bobcats, he'll be able to do just that. 

Miller has 10 rushing wins to his credit this season and has increased his passing yards over the last four games, averaging 12.5 per game after averaging seven in the first 11 games. With his increased passing numbers and ability to make big plays - 20 passes for 10-plus yards this season, according to PFF - Miller should score points and turn a $10 bet into a $13 profit.

Scottre Humphrey, scoring anytime ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: -135 via bet365 | Estimated probability: 57.45%

While I expect Mellott to live up to his nickname and score, I think Humphrey is worth backing as well. With Adam Jones priced at -180, it's hard to justify backing him when the odds on Humphrey allow a $7.41 profit on a $10 win bet.

Humphrey leads the team in points scored (15) and is the more consistent scorer from game to game. Jones has found the end zone in 64.2 percent of his team's games, while Humphrey has scored in 71.4 percent of games.

He's also more talented when it comes to doing things on his own, and ranks in the top 40 in the FCS in yards after contact (696), forced missed tackles (41), and runs of 15+ yards (20). I'd bet on both Mellott and Humphrey to score, and if you're feeling spicy, you can bet on them both scoring at odds of +190 at bet365.
