    Re: Other FCS Matchups / Betting Lines

    Saturday, Oct. 5th
    Valley Games
    NDSU @ ISUr +14.5 (I can see ISUr staying within 14.5, but NDSU wins)
    ISUb @ USD -3.5 (This game and the next one will go a long way in determining who will be the bottom dwellers in the MVFC, I expect USD to bounce back against a Boyle-less ISUb)
    MSU @ WIU -3.5 (see above, I'm surprised WIU is favored... they're really really bad)
    YSU @ UNI -7 (I'm interested to see how UNI looks after a rough game @ Weber St.)
    SIU @ SDSU -17.5 (This line seems about right, but imo could be up to 20 or 21, so there might be some value)

    My picks:

        Thanks for picking up the slack on this thread haha.
        My picks in the Valley this week (using updated lines)
        NDSU -14 (im buying the half point, Ive got a feeling NDSU rolls)
        USD -4.5 (I think USD will have a solid day on D-Days and as you said ISUb is without Boyle, that's a tough loss for them)
        MSU +3 (I was surprised to see WIU as the favorite this week as well, I think MSU wins outright)
        YSU +7 (this game is a toss up in my mind, give me the points)
        SDSU -18 (I keep going back and forth on this, 18 points is a lot. I think the Jacks come out hot and take care of business. Jacks 38-14)

          3-0-2 in my picks, if Vinny wouldn't have showed up playing like a drunken hobo, would have been 4-0-1. �� not too shabby. Nailed the NDSU and MSU predictions

            Back on track this week getting the match-ups out on time. These are the opening lines. It will be interesting to keep on eye on them as the week continues and see how they move.

            Saturday, October 12th
            Richmond +14.5 @ Maine
            Jacksonville St. -12.5 @ E. Illinois
            Drake -13 @ Butler
            San Diego -9 @ Davidson
            Villanova +11.5 @ James Madison
            Samford -7 @ VMI
            Delaware -3.5 @ Elon
            W. Carolina +17 @ The Citadel
            Lamar +17 @ Sam Houston St.
            Murray St. -5 @ Tenn. St.
            Charleston So. +24 @ Kennesaw St.
            SEMO -2.5 @ Austin Peay
            UND +1.5 @ Idaho St.
            Albany +11 @ Towson
            N'Western St. +23 @ Nicholls St.
            CS Sacramento +1.5 @ Montana St.
            N. Colorado +19.5 @ E. Washington
            Idaho +1.5 @ Portland St.
            McNeese +7 @ Central Arkansas
            Incarnate Word +13 @ SELA
            New Hampshire +4.5 @ Stony Brook
            Tenn. Martin -6.5 @ Tenn. Tech
            Cal Poly +13.5 @ UC Davis
            Houston Baptist +7 @ Abilene Christian


            MVFC
            UNI +19 @ NDSU
            Western Illinois +6 @ Indiana St.
            USD -7.5 @ Missouri St.
            SDSU -7 @ Youngstown St.
            Illinois St. +2.5 @ S. Illinois

            Some lines that pop out to me right away. Villanova getting 11.5 points seems a little high, I would have expected something closer to 7.5 to 9. Illinois St. getting 2.5 points vs SIU surprised me. Maybe the Redbirds aren't who we thought they were. UNI getting 19 also seemed high to me, I was expecting that to open in the 15 point range, they always play NDSU tough.

              USD -7.5 @ Missouri St.
              SDSU -7 @ Youngstown St.

UNI getting 19 also seemed high to me, I was expecting that to open in the 15 point range, they always play NDSU tough.
              I think SIU takes the Redbirds at home. ISUR looked inept against NDSU, and I thought SIU looked better than anticipated.

              I also think UNI covers, but loses. I'd also look for UNH to upset Stony Brook after their OT game with JMU last week and Sac State to upset the Bobcats in Bozeman. The USD line looks a little low to me given last week's result, but MSU isn't a complete dumpster fire, and USD doesn't play well outside typically. I still think they win by 10+.

              The Jacks spread is probably abut right, IF the team plays to their potential. If they're going to come out slow again and have difficulties moving the ball, I think that spread should be more like SDSU +4.5. I think this game is the one where it either all comes together and we win by 14+, or it continues to be a disjointed effort and we get beat.

                Already quite a bit of action already on the Villanova/JMU game, in just five hours after the lines opened, JMU has gone from -11.5 to -9.5.

                    Hope you don't have money on that...
                    Specifically, the way I see it is with the lines.
                    I think we find out that USD IS the paper tiger.
                    SIU beating YSU would be a large Upset IMO even if the line doesn't show that.

                      I get where you are coming from, but I dont take chalk. Not my style haha. If I can go 3-2 that makes me a winner, so thats what im shooting for.

                          Looks like SIU is a legit playoff contender, even at 3-4. If they can get past USD this weekend. They have a very good chance at 7-5.
