I think the NDSU line actually opened at -24.5 so that should say something about where the money is coming in from. Kennesaw was also a 2 point favorite earlier today so that line is moving in SHSU's favor as well.

If I was a betting man...

JMU -11
Wofford +20.5
SDSU -18
KSU +1

No way we have an offense that can open up a lead like that against Wofford. We will be blessed if we have a 7 point win.

I'd tend to think the same thing but after rewatching the San Diego game one thing that surprised me was when they pointed it out that NDSU led the FCS in point differential (now at +27.4). NDSU has the #2 scoring offense at 38.9 ppg and the #2 scoring defense at 11.5 ppg. That's pretty impressive for a team that's played a top 10 SOS in the FCS.

Yeah, I'd highly doubt we cover... 7-10 is probably way more realistic.

I say all the favorites win but only SHSU covers the spread. All close games.

They played a lot of good teams too. Like I said their SOS was among the best in the country. #12 according to Massey and #14 according to Sagarin even with those cupcakes.

Even taking away the 128 points they scored on MVSU and RMU they'd be at 33.9 ppg on the season which would be 17th in the nation.

The O/U I see online is at 64 for SHSU v. KSU. I'm still taking KSU +1 but not sure about points total.

Rule: Always take the over in a SHSU game. All offense, no defense.

That's assuming KSU's defense will allow that many points. I'm pretty sure both teams will score, just not sure how much and if TOP for KSU will heavily impact total points.

Take the over.

[footballer23]

Take the over.
5 Dimes has it up to 65 now. Buckle your seatbelts!

[Professor Chaos]

NDSU line back up to -22.5. I guess there's a lot of money coming in on the Bison... can't say I understand why given how low possession of a game it'll be and how tough it'll be to shut down Wofford's unique offense.

[footballer23]

I agree... I feel like NDSU would need a pretty fast start (quick TD + turnover) and hope the defense does their job to cover that spread.

[ST_Lawson]

Agreed, every prediction site I've seen is saying Bison win by like 25...36ish to 8ish, but my guess is much closer to 12-15 point NDSU win. My preview article will go up tomorrow, btw.
