Goodbye to Romance College Football
I have flirted with a few Dll games a week, spending a few minutes to look for a some teams or odds that look intriguing. I really have no knowledge on any of these teams, other people here are more familiar with them. I like just keeping it at arms length rather than spend any real time on any teams or matchups and I don't plan to spend much time doing so in the playoffs either.
MyBookie has posted some Dll games, very limited options and very limited time available to place bets. They put them up and they take them down or lock them pretty quick. Some people talk about being limited by MB due to past success. I'm sure this is true. This is my first year on their site. I most I have ever risked there on a Dll game is $200 and the most I have ever won there on a Dll game is $270. I have not had any problem yet. It is not like they put these games up and leave them for hours up unitl kickoff, no, there might be an hour that they are up and they are not always up leading up until kickoff. Unsure if it will be any better or different for the playoffs or not. I think it is pretty awesome we can bet these games and hope they expand on their offerings or other books may list them in the future.
We have talked some of these games in the FCS thread. Thought it would be good to have a dedicated thread for the playoffs.
With that said, here is some helpful information on the Dll playoffs.

How 'bout our QB's final game?!
A redshirt senior quarterback, Zebrowski went 43-for-46 for his 569 yards of total offense. His 43 completions broke his own UCM single-game record of 40, which Zebrowski set at Washburn last season. He added three rushing touchdowns on nine carries to finish the game with 587 yards of total offense and six touchdowns.

Western State in Gunnison would be my team if I was picking one just because I want to like them. I vacation near there and have friends in the area. Plus Austin Ekeler played there which is pretty damn cool.

LMAO 5.5 years and a degree in travel/tourism that involved 3 trips to Vegas for "class" and a trip to Boulevard Brewery in KC, two wine tastings, trip to the place where they physically make Super Bowl tickets....then an internship for an airline in Phoenix. College was the official peak of my bell curve. Well outside of CTG obviously.Quite the game. And not only did you go to college, but you graduated!
Was CMSU when I was there but regardless, always a massive presence athletically in a bunch of sports. I mean Willie Fritz was there for several years....hell Phog Allen was there before KU. Great place to be a bookie until they legalize it in MO

Gonna be able to really dive on this tomorrow. But just glancing over this, Harding seems to have gotten a raw deal. Numbers wise, it's the biggest discrepancy of the 1st round games vs Pittsburg St.
Connelly has Harding as the best DII team in the country.
To me this region is by far the toughest with Harding, Ferris St, Ouachita Baptist and Grand Valley St.

Locals in a town of 15k with a school of 15k....well some of those weekends just happened. Pitt St was always that weekend, before Northwest MO St became a goliath
The stories are fun and fortunately all legal!

Jesus when you're 19 but get treated like you're 21 then run into the city council girls....well I at least asked for ID before firing up the hot tub but that's what big games in a small town entailed....for the most part. Her sister was a star stripper at a massive club in KC which led to other connections ffs
Man I'm not sure how my family still accepts me lol. There is so much shade but it was awesome!

One of the non-playoff games tonight. I have no idea just trying to keep track what they’re doing for these Dll games.
I looked at the Dlll schedule and didn’t know they do about a dozen non playoff games after the season. 40 teams make the Dlll playoffs.

MB took tonight's game down sometime in the last hour I believe. 5+ hours before kick. This is one thing I would see what they did, because they often don't leave the regular ssn Dll games up all that long. But this one was up for all of the morning atleast. Assuming they don't want to have the risk of getting caught on a bad number or mistake, which honestly, I've caught them on both this year. I'd say leave the games up and just limit the action - I'd rather be able to have something than nothing

I was encouraged with that game being up so long, tomorrow may be different. But being a stand alone game may have had something to do with it.
I'm just expecting the more of the same tomorrow how it's been the rest of the year.

Two rematches from games earlier in the season
Slippery Rock beat New Haven 22-7 back in week 1 at Slippery Rock. Massey has SR -9.5 here.
Augustana won at Mankato 34-16 Oct. 26th. This will actually be the 4th time in the last 2 years these teams have played. Augustana has won the previous 3. 28-10 and 51-24 last year and 34-16 at Mankato this year
Massey has Augustana -5.5 here

Weather looks like it should be no issue anywhere tomorrow.
Not sure if we get spreads and over unders or just MLs for these.
I think of the underdogs that can win outright, I think I like Bemidji St best. They don't really do anything great, but they have won a playoff game 3 years in a row.
Harding/Pittsburg St should be the best 1st round matchup. Harding is the defending National Champs, but will have to win 3 games on the road if they want to repeat.
This region is always a bear and is no different this year. 6 of the 7 teams are in Masseys top 10.
Pittsburg QB went down with a neck/possible concussion in their game last week. Good luck trying to find out if he'll play this week or not.

They line a Shorter Friday night game but refuse to offer any playoff games? Pretty lame, you know, all these offshores really....
How much work is it to put the games out? They have experience in the Dll market as they have offered games all year. On one hand I get that it isn't really worth it to them to spend the effort on it, but exactly how much effort does it take?

There's only 12 damn games. They put that dumb game up last night. Man I spent 3-4 hours a day since Sunday doing research and watching what I could. All for not.
But I'm guessing you know the feeling.

Nope. So pissed. I loved Bemidji outright and I'm sure they would've been a decent ML. They were +6.5 on Massey.

9 out of the 12 games were 1 score games. Equal splits between home and road as each won 6.
Harding was by far the biggest winner of the week with their dismantling of Pittsburg St. Will have a tough game at GVSU. If their is an under on this, I'd play the under.

Division ll football would be an area the offshores could grow their businesses and offer something unique that the domestics haven't yet. From what I know, MyBookie has never given the Dll thing a full run to know what their numbers could be, which no matter what, I'm sure Dll is going to be a really small market for anyone. But growth is hard to come by. It's like adding a new product line or brand for a retailer and I would hope that at some point we get some options on this. Or the risk just might not be worth the reward for them.
I'd like to pick a game or two this Saturday and follow along. Hopefully we get some lines.

Funny how Harding went from 3.5 vs Pitt St last week to 13.5 vs a better squad in GVSU. These two played a 7-6 game in the playoffs last year.
I'm not sure this total would get to 52.5 unless Harding gets it themselves. GVSU is really banged up on the o-line and starting qb did not play last Saturday. But their D might be able to replicate their performance from last year.
Think GVSU hard pressed to get to double figures.

Pretty much a regular
Ferris homer. Not sure about covering 10.5 this Saturday but if they get to play GV next week it'll be another blowout. I watched the regular season game(Anchor Bone Classic) and it wasn't close(34-7). Ferris offense is unstoppable. QB Chambliss is a dual threat stud. GLIAC player of the year.
Chambliss has accounted for 33 touchdowns, including 19 in the air and 14 on the ground this season.
He's completed 169 of 276 passes for 2,203 yards while leading the Bulldogs' rushing attack with 615 yards on 107 carries. His play has helped the Bulldogs roll up 41.7 points per game along with 477.6 yards of total offense a contest.
Go Dawgs!

I think Ferris is pretty clear cut favorite to win it all. I think Harding takes down GVSU and sets up the de facto championship next week at Ferris.
Thanks for chiming in. Always appreciate some new insight.
