Villanova pretty hot right now. Beat a pretty good Elon team on the road where they had to come back from 11 down early, which they did, then overcome a 4Q Elon 1 pt lead (which they did KO ret TD) and got the game sealing INT in the EZ on the game's final play. Run D has been good since the Monmouth game. Vs W&M, UNH and Elon have not allowed more than 3.8ypc in any of those. Monmouth did run on them well, but Monmout O is a different animal. Nova O can be balanced to run for 250 or pass for 300. They are playing their best football of the season right now.
Hampton was riding high for a week after they beat Norfolk, which everyone is doing. Campbell of all teams came into their house and won 38-21 with a 426-207 yard edge (6.5-3.7)! 21 pts is the only time Hampton has scored more than 20 in regulation vs any FCS this year! And their D sucks...man everyone not named A&T gashes them for 6-7 ypp, everyone! Even Norfolk got them for 415 (6.8)! Hampton is a bad team. They were not bad last year, they were actually sneaky good. That sneaky good Hampton team led Nova 7-0, 7-3, but Nova got up on them 20-7 before winning just 20-14 as 10.5 pt road favs. Hampton just lost so much off that team they are a shell of their former self. And really, Nova O last year wasn't good. It is operating much better right now. Will be a big number I'm sure, probably paying a premium on some of the publicity Villanova has on their 3 game win streak, but laying it is the only thing that makes sense right now. Will see what oddsmakers give us.
