Scared money don’t make money—and the Valley gauntlet is officially here !In this episode of the Jackrabbit Illustrated podcast, Ben, Brendan, and Alex link up with special guest Gino Leone from the Penguin Nation Fans Podcast to unpack a massive week of Missouri Valley Football Conference action. First, the guys recap the South Dakota State Jackrabbits’ dominant 57-14 blowout victory over the New Haven Chargers. Once the victory lap is handled, it’s straight to the board as the crew fires up the model and goes lock-by-lock through the Missouri Valley slate, picking winners against the spread for all the weekend’s best action. Finally, we shift our focus to Dana J. Dykhouse Stadium for the massive conference-opening showdown against the Youngstown State Penguins. It is a official WHITEOUT game in Brookings, and Gino helps break down how the Jacks stack up against YSU. Expect tactical analysis, slate-wide gambling locks, and our normal high-energy banter. Get your white gear ready, don’t play scared, and let’s cash some tickets!
