Week 2 in the FCS

Yes. Before game 1 had we known, there was an August discounted Reddit post about Dickens being out, turned out to be true - but had anyone known before week 1 I would’ve thought his absence matters. 1H+ did not. How their o performed or didn’t perform while GW was coming back on them was an issue. But the D is always their bigger problem
 
Idaho St qb is out this week. Eck had a good record vs ISU as Idaho HC. 3rd road game in a row. Seems like a bad spot for them.

Still wouldn't want to be laying too many with UNM, however.
 
I saw ULL QB is out. Not sure he’s any better than their other guys though. Some guy named Lunch might play.

As for Idaho St, the system is the system and I wouldn’t be surprised their O still puts up numbers. It’s the D that was alarming vs SUU, which maybe isn’t a surprise but still
 
I haven’t been looking this morning so not sure when those two above games came out. I see SC St at SCarolina is up so assuming they’ll all be up today
 
I'm not seeing Monmouth - Fordham on my FD either.

I did take Bryant +14.5, UNI +13.5, Buff-33.5 among these recent releases
 
UC Davis +28.5 at Washington is interesting. UW -22.5 vs Colo State last week and CSU hung. See UW run game strong. UCD run D should be their best attribute on D. Young QB Pinnik was confused by what Utah Tech was doing vs what they gameplanned for and expected them to do. As the game went on they were able to adapt. Won't have that benefit vs UW, but Davis is quality program and that's a lot of points vs a UW team that hasn't won by this margin since week 1 vs Weber and Weber is bad and trending down. UW was -25.5 vs Weber, now favored by more vs a better FCS team?

I actually toss UW performance into the fluke week 1 category and think they will destroy either this week or next week

Hard to quantify the flukes but I'm completely sold that it was just not a well oiled machine

Good, thanks for that. By yardage, it looks like the CSU-UW game shouldn't have been that close, but I didn't look into it beyond that. UCD QB is kind of an X factor, but he's young and has done some young QB growing pains things.

Way I gamble UW are a buy low team fwiw regardless the opponent
 
Illinois State jumped from 24.8 to 28.5
Buffalo up to 36.5

I'm pretty sure SMiss opened 7.5, but immediately went 9.5 and then now sits 10.5 - edit 13.5

Utah hasn't moved since I first saw it at 42.5 / 51.5. I would think Utah and Over here

A few others out that I don't have any thoughts or opinions on.

Still waiting for SIU - Purdue. Should be 21+
 
Purdue opened a little lower 19.5 / 51.5. Wanting to take a chance on SIU who I am high on this year. Purdue roster is better than I expected, hearing who their transfers are. Obviously I respect Odum. Like SIU's potential with DJ Williams at QB

Dll early games and I did not expect Mercyhurst to be 14.5, damn!

Johnson C Smith is worth a $10 shot.

Indy has beat Findlay 7 straight! Not sure I go with anything there though.

Emory & Henry been pretty good. Is Catawba pretty bad? Last time they played in 2023 Catawba beat them. Seems like Emory & Henry is a different team now. Might lay something on them.

McKendree hung tough with Indiana State. Were good on 3rd down O and D. Had 5 sacks and 10 TFLs on D. Poor passing game. PRs agree Hillsdale small road fav, doesn't look like they are an especially good program. McKendre homedog could win.

Was hoping for 21.5 there so will see what BM opens at

Had some family stuff yesterday so missed these. I like the Utah over more than 42.5 but will see if BM opens a little lighter than FD

Most of the lines this week were outside of variance for me so slim pickings on my end although I will take that over if it happens to get posted for me
 
I messaged FD about the Monmouth - Fordham game, they said they'd get back to me. I'm not sure I bet Monmouth at FanDuel last year. I know Fordham lines have shown. So hopefully they can correct that.

It's possible, BetRivers has 20.5

Not sure anyone knows what to make of SIU, from Hammer and Rails writers:

SIU will be a worse opponent than BSU ... SIU defense will also likely be worse than the Ball State defense.

it is very likely that SIU is better than Ball State

Think right now this version of SIU certainly could beat Ball State. Looking forward to see DJ Williams again. I didn't watch last week vs the Dll opponent, they didn't run him at all until red zone. Last time I saw him he was absolutely on fire vs Incarnate Word week 3 last year.

Unfortunately no BR here in NC so hoping BM gives me something to work with on a few of these.
