What the experts have to say...

[LehighFan11]

App St -18.5
JMU -11
Villanova -18
Richmond -24.5
Montana -21
UNH -3
UNI -7
Cal Poly -9

Looks like we might be in for a boring 1st round, but we all know that isn't the case, hence the name of the board.

[asucrutch23]

Is Richmond that much better than EKU??

Those all seem a little high to me (except the UNH one which is essentially calling it a toss-up).

I figured Wofford would get more love than that xconfusedx

[Appstate29]

I'll take EKU +24.5, App St -18.5 and Villanova -18

maybe it is respect for your dukes...

Is Richmond that much better than EKU??

On paper, I guess. Last year they won by 17. I don't know if the oddsmakers think UR is that much better or EKU is worse than last year....

A double-digit line seems reasonable, a 24 point line does not.

[mcveyrl]

I'll take EKU +24.5, App St -18.5 and Villanova -18

On second thought, I probably would take App minus the 18.5, but I don't think Villanova's offense lends itself to an 18 point win. They'll win, but it won't be by that much.

[appfan2008]

With those numbers here is what I would do...

App St -18.5 take scsu plus the 18.5
JMU -11 take wofford plus the 11
Villanova -18 take villanove minus the 18
Richmond -24.5 take eku plus the 24.5
Montana -21 take montana minus the 21
UNH -3 take siu plus the 3
UNI -7 take uni minus the 7
Cal Poly -9 take cal poly minus the 9

[th0m]

I think Richmond will win, but I'd take EKU with the points with this line.

[woffordgrad94]

I'm calling my bookie to say "I'd like to place $500 on Wofford, please."

[asucrutch23]

App St -18.5
JMU -11
Villanova -18
Richmond -24.5
Montana -21
UNH -3
UNI -7
Cal Poly -9

If I were a betting man, I'd take JMU -11, Colgate +18, EKU +24.5, Montana -21, UNH -3, Maine +7, and Poly -9 xthumbsupx

[mcveyrl]

I'm calling my bookie to say "I'd like to place $500 on Wofford, please."

If your bookie's smart, he will NOT give you 11 points. Anybody that knows a little bit about FCS won't do that. And if he doesn't know that, he probably shouldn't be giving lines.

Bad for him....

Good for you!! xthumbsupx

[MacThor]

I will take EKU + 24.5. That way I can financially protect my emotions. :)

[Saint3333]

Montana and the points = lock of the week. Southland members in Montana in the playoffs, it's just too cold. I'm thinking something like these:

11/25/2006 McNeese State 31-6 W
12/11/2004 Sam Houston State 34-13 W
11/27/2004 Northwestern State (LA) 56-7 W
11/30/2002 Northwestern State (LA) 45-14 W
12/08/2001 Sam Houston State 49-24 W
11/30/1996 Nicholls State 48-3 W
12/09/1995 Stephen F Austin 70-14 W

[LehighFan11]

Montana -21 and ASU -18.5 might have to be parlayed!

[asucrutch23]

Montana -21 and ASU -18.5 might have to be parlayed!

Throw EKU +24.5 in there. 3 team parlays are where it's at. xthumbsupx

[Rob Iola]

App St -18.5 ASU can name the score in the annual MEAC thumping.
JMU -11 JMU's hitting on all cylinders now, plus Wofford has shown they can be punked.
Villanova -18 Really? Intriguing match-up. Nova's good but by 18?
Richmond -24.5 Oh c'mon - Richmond's shown zero ability to win big over good teams, and EKU's a good team.
Montana -21 Montana seems to have shaken off their mid-season issues and should roll.
UNH -3 UNH's favored AT SIU? Where not even UNI could win? Good luck...
UNI -7 Maine really doesn't have a quality win, and won't be getting one at the Dome.
Cal Poly -9 What a great match-up! Montana won at Poly to start the season, can Weber do the same at the end? 9 points seems awfully high...

Looks like we might be in for a boring 1st round, but we all know that isn't the case, hence the name of the board.
My comments in red...

Just like you did before the ASU game?

[appfan2008]

Just like you did before the ASU game?

he would have lost 500 doing that...

[asucrutch23]

he would have lost 500 doing that...

Unless ASU was -46.5 xsmiley_wix

[Rob Iola]

Or maybe he said "I'd like $500 on Wofford TO place." Though I thought that only applied to horse racing...

In that case he took the exacta xlolx xlolx

[B&G]

Forget Wofford +11, take them straight up to earn some real money.

[BULLDOG8180]

With those numbers here is what I would do...

App St -18.5 take scsu plus the 18.5
JMU -11 take wofford plus the 11
Villanova -18 take villanove minus the 18
Richmond -24.5 take eku plus the 24.5
Montana -21 take montana minus the 21
UNH -3 take siu plus the 3
UNI -7 take uni minus the 7
Cal Poly -9 take cal poly minus the 9


If AE plays, the 18.5 is a lock!

[ToTheLeft]

I'll take EKU +24.5, App St -18.5 and Villanova -18

Every time I see your avatar, I brace for a stupid LU Fan comment. Then I realize it's you and can breathe easier. :)
