Week 1 in the FCS

Lehigh pretty much has their whole team back while Richmond needs to replace quite a bit.

This is true.

I won’t call Leigh’s win last year a fluke, they played better throughout the game and RZ D is a thing, RZ O is a thing, Richmond kicked FGs from 8, 10 and 4 yard lines in the 1H. That kept Lehigh in the game. Lehigh D stopping them is football, but if those are TDs instead of FGs could’ve been 21-7 HT instead of 9-7. Last years teams, Richmond does have a different mix this year.

Probably a 50-50 who wins I think. Maybe I play Richmond as dog if line climbs, but would’ve preferred Lehigh in the dog role
 
My FD is down for "planned maintenance" Maybe just the state I'm in right now. Instead of sleep walking last night, or you hear these stories about people eating while they are sleeping in the kitchen? I was doing that but with betting, so I'm anxious to log in to my account to see what I took!

Campbell getting 17.5 is tempting

UNH I thought would be closer to +2.5 so curious to see if the +5.5 moves or not as I like central but no value in that line for me. Would probably take UNH if 7. Also over as I missed the total first time through.

TSU at single digits has my eye but need to dig a little deeper

WKU at under 4 TDs is on the short list but may wait for a team total at 44.5 or less

I took NCCU. I am down quite a bit on UNH. NCCU did get blown out at home by Elon last year, which is kind of inexcusable given the kind of teams NCCU and Elon were last year, but CAA vs MEAC and that could have something to do with it and a middle to lower tier UNH team this year would be comparable to Elon last year. I loved the NCCU OL from the Southern game. And they didn't miss Taylor one bit at RB, Mosley just as good.

I took some Campbell, not like I like their team all that much, but URI had plenty of iffy games as a favorite last year and lots of people are all over Farrell this year, but I didn't see a great QB last year. I saw one who was good, but at times was not good and pretty wild with INTs and accuracy.

Hopefully the new QB will help the UNH offense for you, unless NCCU just does all the heavy lifting. UNH D should be very different from the 2024 version which should make things easier for NCCU to move and score

Rhode Island won exactly 0 games by more than 17 pts last season.

Yeah I expect UNH to get into the low 20’s at least because they gave enough guys in the skill positions to score on Central. I’m not expecting a blow out as I see it being closer than some I guess.

I took the +17.5 so now I have two dogs on my card…Campbell and Delaware State…
 
So here are the openers as I screenshotted them last night

NDSU -31.5 / 52.5, dropped to 30.5 almost immediately
SDSU -13.5 -115/56.5, dropped to 12.5 -110 immediately and was 12.5-105 after a while
Alcorn -6.5 / 51.5
W&M -3.5 / 52.5, immediately dropped to 2.5
Jackson -12.5 / 54.5, I wasn't quite enough on this one, my squinty sleepy eyes I'm pretty sure saw 12.5 and tried to bet it, but odds changed in my bet slip to 14.5
UNH -3.5 / 49.5, went to 4.5 very quick
SUU -5.5 / 63.5
FAMU -5.5 / 48.5
UIW I think opened -4.5 / 59.5, my screen shot shows 5.5 but pretty sure I saw 4.5
TSU 12.5 / 51.5, dropped to 10.5 pretty quick
Mercer -24.5 / 50.5
San Diego -2.5 / 50.5
TxSo -1.5 / 50.5
UCD -20.5 / 54.5
SHU -8.5 / 46.5, if lines move on light action according to sleepy, I might have moved this number to 7.5 ;)
SC St - 9.5 / 49.5
WCU - 10.5 / 57.5, dropped to 9.5 pretty quick
ETSU -23.5 / 54.5
Southern -14.5 / 51.5
UNI -14.5 / 51.5
Davidson -4.5 / 54.5, another very quick mover on GT action



Note ISU QB Cooke was injured and may not play this week.

It's going to suck if we don't get a New Haven/Marist line.

I'm intrigued by the game. What you think line could be and what side you lean? Appears that New Haven would be favored by PR, but didn't their key players leave along with their head coach this spring after they announced they were going Dl?
 
I made 20 bets overnight from bed, most with my eyes barely focusing on the screen and a few I did not remember placing. But who can sleep when week 1 lines are coming out!
 
I have Stetson and UT Rio Grande my worst rated teams

Stonehill, Marist, Valpo, UAPB, New Haven and Miss Valley St all similarly ranked slightly ahead of them
 
Sorry, allow my excitement to spill over here. Anita Pointer singing about a romance ... instead think of me and college football's opening Thursday night!

 
Remember last year when MyBookie did a Houdini act with the FCS lines?

I hope that don't happen again

Don't be afraid to let people bet.

I was hoping to get Marist plus a decent number of points. Couple PRs imply could be DD line

I do. Certainly hoping for better out of them this year. But I'm not sure it will be different. They have already put games up, locked them, taken them down, etc. Just like before.

Already foiled by the dreaded padlock
 
FBS vs FCS just opened up around 30 mins ago and one of the big books offshore. UL-MONROE got hit hard went from -26.5 to -27.5 and now it's at 28.5. Limits are 3k on sides.

Surprised line is up to 6.5 as I may play Richmond if it gets to 7.5

Yeah I saw BM lines on ULM, UAB and BGSU all jump a few points with the higher limits and FD soon followed
 
Huge moves

ESTU up 7pts from open to 30.5
SDSU down 5 pts from open to 8.5
 
Will probably wait til Saturday to see BM opens on Mercer, UNI and the EWU game total as the FD numbers aren’t quite where I was want before I make a play
 
I like MyBookie. They are a little quirky. I'm a small player and did well there last year but haven't been limited in any way. carolinablue has had his limits lowered from winning

Dll at MB. Just like last year, often with no spread, just total and ML. They typically do not leave these up long.

I messaged them last year and sincerely told them that they could expand on these Dll offerings when nobody has anything close and it would really separate them and give them clout. They followed that up by not offering a single game for the Dll playoffs. I don;'t know much of anything about Dll, I just think it is cool that they would offer them.

Would they actually accept this kind of max?

That;s actually crazy. What about the close odds like the cardinals vs eagles? Limits should be much lower.
