Other FCS Matchups / Betting Lines

[JacksBacker]

I am starting a new thread to discuss other relevant FCS games going on every week. I will also post the betting lines to these games, I have noticed that some people enjoy discussing the lines and giving their opinion on who will cover and whatnot. So each week for a fun discussion I will post this as long as people want. Many of these games should have a large impact on the playoff picture so hopefully it is a fun thread.

Im not shocked at all. WVU will not be that good this year. FPI projects them winning 4 to 5 games

Re: Other FCS Matchups / Betting Lines

Had a twitter discussion with a local SF radio host that promotes betting and he is pretty sure Grand Falls is going to take advantage of the new Iowa law that allows for sports books in the casinos. Meaning you should be able to place a bet within a short drive from SF in the near future. Kind of excited about that.

They are definitely taking advantage of the new Iowa law.

It will be interesting to see if they have FCS lines. Many sportsbooks don't offer them.

There are plenty of ways to bet already, if you did not know, without even getting off your couch. Obviously not legal ways but I know there are thousands of people in the area that do this.

It will be fun to see how it turns out, and what kind of lines they will offer compared to some reputable sites. My guess is there wont be any FCS lines available. Im actually going to Vegas tomorrow for the weekend, hopefully I can find one book that has some FCS futures and maybe I can put some $ down on a couple teams to win this years championship.

I agree with both. I think my favorite line in the whole list is UNI +18.5. They always seem to play Iowa and Iowa St. tough.

Re: Other FCS Matchups / Betting Lines

I would like the UNI line better if it was 28.5 instead of 18.5... Too much unknown with them at this point and Iowa State seems to be trending up with Purdy returning at QB.

That JMU line is small because WVU has a new QB and new head coach. However, the QB is a transfer from Oklahoma that is supposed to be pretty good, and their new head coach coming from Troy is going to be looking to make a statement in his first game. 5.5 is such a small line.

A line I'm interested in is UND -11.5 vs. Drake. Might be worth a look. Also NDSU -48.5, I'm guessing Entz will be looking to make a statement in his first game, plus they'll be breaking in a new QB and want him to get as much confidence as possible. Plus their defense is going to be very stout. Should be something like 63-7.

Re: Other FCS Matchups / Betting Lines

And I thought it was bad when Goedert took out the marimba and Cade almost impaled himself on the cannon. No way would I want to throw a fade into the end zone or a sprint route. Jeez, looks like arena ball.
