Game Week: Youngstown State

Re: Game Week: Youngstown State

Already up to +5.5.

Sports betting for dummies alert!!! This means Vegas has YSU favored by that much? Correct?
(and yes, I feel dumb for asking this)

Correct, YSU is favored by 5.5 at this point.

And because the line is getting bigger (started at SDSU +4 and now at +5.5), means that the early money came in on YSU, right?

I don't think its takes a whole bunch of money on an FCS game to move a line, unless I'm mistaken. Cappin? You're the guy who would know.

This is true. Early money sways lines on FCS games easily, because they can't put as much time into making the lines, so they have to react to the betting quicker than FBS or especially NFL games.

I did not look before today, I show SDSU +1.5 today.

Yeah, I didn't think it would settle that high. My guess is it ends up as a pick em.

This game is difficult to predict. They claim their strength is their pass defense, so it will be strength vs. strength there. The difference may come down to special teams, and I think we have the edge there. I'm going with 31-28, jacks stay undefeated.

I knew I should have put a dime on SDSU when they were getting 5

Odds were about the same in '15 too, right?

If so, I'd be all for a repeat of that outcome as well.

It has swung all the way to SDSU being favored by 3 now. 8.5 point swing... pretty crazy. Says that people are split on this game, which I think is right.

Re: Game Week: Youngstown State

Jacks & Guins have matched up 9 times since move up. Jacks have won 8 in that time. I suspect Jacks will win. Either this is close game, or Jacks offense rolls to easy win. Likely to be won or lost on the defensive side.

I would be interested to see what kind of action a top level FCS match-up brings. I am assuming that it is pretty low so even a small bet of a couple hundred could mess up the bookmakers a bit. There must have been a ton of action on SDSU so they had to do something to try to sway money on the other side

Did our resident handicapper bet? If so maybe that was it? It wouldn't take much one would think.
