Week 3 in the FCS

s--k said:
Just checked this one to see if there was news on the line move, like Dickens coming back. Supposedly Dickens is expected back next week and still out this week, unless that isn't true. No matter who plays QB for WCU, there is a difference, but the biggest difference is the D. WCU just doesn't step up at D like you would need them to in this game. I don't want to lay pts with Elon on the road vs a desperate 0-2 team, although Elon has looked good.

Yeah was thinking about the total being a better play as this could be 35-31 type game but not sure yet
 
Did anyone post any UNC numbers you were interested in, totals or whatever?
 
Totally ignorant on UTSA, preseaon the thought of getting 21.5 on UIW would be pretty appealing. Munoz was pretty bad week 0 vs what was a good Nicholls D (good until WGU ran all over them) but still pretty good Nicholls D in my mind. Would assume he struggles again vs UTSA D...off early season bye week, the UIW OL was a problem or else I might take a shot on the Word even with a shaky Munoz.
 
Significant move in that Lehigh game. Down to 6.5. Somebody asked me if I would take Lehigh and I said maybe 6, almost getting there. From the 15.5 pt open!
 
The Montana game is another one. I did take UND at 4.5 even though I hoped it would be higher. Would be a little tight, but I might do a ML Griz try to middle a close game. Not surprised the love that UND has, but am surprised maybe the home field for Griz hasn't come in to buy some of that back. Too many variables on Montana team that people are unsure of I suppose.
 
Is BOL the worse FCS book or what? They don't offer any MLs. BM and Bovada don't either (Bovada does sometimes) but atleast you can play with the spreads and buy pts. I throw BOL one bet a week, but should just close that account

BetNow is way worse

They wait until 30 minutes before kickoff to post FCS games

Why even bother?

The only thing I do these days at BOL is use their little $10 vip rewards on random stuff to see how high I can get it up to. Currently up to like 130 something and put it all on UAB ML vs Akron at 425. The road to a million dollars one step at a time haha
 
I've got some great bonuses from BOL

5k for not withdrawing any money during covid

1600 level up bonus last year

Get a weekly $10 usually and if I get my ass kicked I've gotten as high as $60

They put lines out first on a lot of things

Yes, not the best for FCS plus all FCS is -115
 
second week in a row BV has allowed a past post bet after a TD was scored
 
Duquesne's best player just drops a wide open big gainer - might've been a TD. Looks like one of those days for the Dukes. Lost players on D to injury and targeting
 
Findlay survives. Former UGA starting qb Dwan Mathis picked inside the 10 with under a minute to play to preserve a 7-3 Findlay win.

Mine and somebody else's Miss State were paid (on the 21.5 number) when the teams only played 10 minute quarters in the 2H. When I heard they were not playing the full game I thought "books are lucky to get out from all those bets on bad Miss State numbers", but they still paid it. I had something similar happen with UAPB-Tex Tech. They paid the game Over, but voided the Tex Tech side bet. All these were at Fan Duel. I figured the if the Over hits regardless if the game is shortened, then that makes sense you still pay the bet on the total. But the side, in theory, the team losing would have less time to cover and therefore they void it. Unless each house has their own rules on this. And then last week, the Minnesota bet was voided. So it's not consistent, or they somehow missed the Miss State thing.
 
I watched that entire Tennessee St game. Talk about men against boys. They could have scored 200 pts if they wanted to. Hard to believe how bad Davidson is now. That Davidson / Stetson game in two weeks is going to be some must watch TV.
 
I'm going to head out now and see if I can get that Miss St ticket bad while they are busy with NFL
 
I quickly counted FBS went 13-9 ATS vs FCS this week. Week 2 it was 21-12 and Week 1 I had it at 23-23. Week 0 was 1-0.

So that brings the season total to 57-44 for the FBS teams. I haven't looked at any P4 vs G5 or totals. It would be interesting to see if any ATS trends can be drawn from year-to-year, but I don't have any time to look into that. People always focus on wins, but the FCS wins vs FBS have become so few and far between and so unmeaningful because of the type that FBS teams that do get upset (UMass, CUSA, MAC teams) - really a better gauge would be comparing annual competitiveness to the spread. Offseason project maybe.
 
I am just now looking back on the games and box scores, likely won't have anything else until the week 4 thread. Running behind with NFL coming up now.

Yesterday was better with the TVs, I have two ESPN+ accounts now unfortunately so I can stream more than 3 games at a time. Although it's only $11.99 a month and it is necessary for what I want to do. By contrast, for YouTube NFL Sunday ticket, I can stream 6 TVs on one account. Discovered many Dll games can be streamed for free on their conference steaming platforms (PSAC and NSIC) which is nice.

My Texas Tech over was voided in Week 1 and I also placed the wager at FD
 
After seeing your post, I just checked my history and they actually corrected themselves 31 minutes after they initially voided the bet, I didn't even realize it, so thanks for the heads up!

Tried to post the visuals but it came across all weird format wise.
 
Did anyone catch the end of the Sacramento St. game? Instead of trying to run out the clock the Hornets were launching bombs to the end zone.

I had to go to bed, they were up by 14 and you could tell the way that game was going they wanted it to look as good and feel good as it could. Maybe they wanted to cover? I think probably just wanted to flex a bit and build confidence after their rough start to the season.

Week 4 thread coming up. Over/Under .5 how many times sleepy posts in the week 3 thread this week :)

Whole concept of not paying overs if they already hit is it means they'd have to declare the game as final and for people with teasers or just play some crazy parlay with crooked numbers, they'd have to honor those as well as though it's a final score. Say the total is 48.5 but a player has it teased up to under 58.5 and it finishes 31-20 but missed 10 minutes of game time...they then would have to honor that wager as well even though a full game wasn't played or even worse if you got 48.5 but it closes 50 yet the game ends 35-14. That would be a logistical nightmare.
