Montana Grizzlies enter the FCS matchup as heavy favorites against Drake Bulldogs, bolstered by their No. 3 national ranking, home game at Washington-Grizzly Stadium, and a 28-21 season-opening win under first-year head coach Bobby Kennedy. Running back Eli Gillman has powered the ground game, recently breaking the program’s all-time rushing touchdown record. Drake arrives 0-1 after a high-scoring 38-35 loss to Division II South Dakota Mines, where quarterback Riley Warzynski threw for 535 yards, though the Bulldogs have struggled to contain opponents consistently. The teams last met in 2018, with Montana prevailing 48-16. Trader consensus reflects Montana’s superior roster depth, recent form, and home advantage in this nonconference contest.
