Vegas Spreads & FCS Football

[nodak651]

Hey guys, I haven't seen a thread on this yet, so please point me in the right direction if I missed it.

I have been following the vegas odds for the past year or two and have enjoyed watching the spreads for select FCS matchups. I am starting this thread with the hopes that people will post which teams they think will easily cover or not cover the spread each week. Sorry I don't know the correct terminology.

This isn't a betting or gambling thread.

To start things off:

Although I think UND wins, I don't think they cover the 11 point spread VS Idaho State. UND has poor pass defense and an inconsistent offense vs. Idaho State's pass happy scheme. Idaho State could throw the ball really well last year, and I think this is a great match up for them to get the kinks out.

Wow... looks like the UND vs. ISU game opened at UND +6 and already moved up to +11. I just think that's too high.

A few that I like...

Bucknell -5 over Lehigh
Wofford +1 outright over The Citadel
Valparaiso +21 vs Drake, lose but cover
Houston Baptist +37 vs Central Arkansas. UCA with ease, but they'll call off the dogs.
Jacksonville Dolphins -28 vs Stetson. JU with ease and they won't call off the dogs.
Northern Arizona -3 vs UC Davis

A few that I like...

Bucknell -5 over Lehigh (I don't know. Bucknell has been rather disappointing thus far).
Wofford +1 outright over The Citadel (Yeah, probably)
Valparaiso +21 vs Drake, lose but cover (Probably not. Valpo lost to USD by 32 at home.)
Houston Baptist +37 vs Central Arkansas. UCA with ease, but they'll call off the dogs. (It's tough to ever pick HBU to cover. UCA beat them 70-0 last year)
Jacksonville Dolphins -28 vs Stetson. JU with ease and they won't call off the dogs. (I doubt it. JU barely beat Morehead last week & they can't win the PFL.)
Northern Arizona -3 vs UC Davis (I agree, though this game is actually in Davis.)

Agreed on Bucknell, just kinda think they're due and don't think that the Mountain Hawks will pull it off this week. No idea why I'm taking Valpo, just like to bet the underdog on large lines in conference games. Kinda the same thing with HBU/UCA. Jacksonville can't win the PFL, so they have to win out and make some of them impressive enough to catch the eye of the committee. I don't think it will work, even if they do that, but they can't let any more teams hang around with them, so Coach Bell better make his last season in Jacksonville a high scoring one.

UND 11 point dogs? Are you sure you have the signs correct?

[superman7515]

Can't check it at work, but if UND is getting 11, I'll take that for a sawbuck thank you.

He does have the signs backwards. It's currently NoDak -10.

FCS lines are usually under "College Extra" or something like that.

I've never seen a real Vegas casino offering FCS games to bet on, sadly. I believe they only do the playoffs.

I think that's right for football. But I bet a few Mercer basketball games when I was at Ceasars in February. :)

So are we setting up a team to run the tables on this puppy?

I've played on 5Dimes for years - it's 100% legit.

I'm in... FCS has been a very profitable football league for me. 10-3 this year, mostly Missouri Valley games.

I'm pretty sure there's at least a few that take action, but they usually only take it the day of the game.

Well I know Bovada doesn't do FCS games which is quite disappointing since that is where I have been betting for a while.

And you can make a mint on early season college basketball.

[tomq04]

I've only done betting via bitcoin casinos, none of which do FCS games.

I'm interested, how do we set up our pool?

Columbia a 2-point home favorite!xthumbsupx
