They're giving NM 13.5 pts against Sam Houston
They're giving UNLV .5 against So. Utah

And I'm not taking those bets! lol

Heh, cool. What's the line on NDSU/Minnesota?

One NDSU fan reported seeing a 20.5 line on Minnesota for this coming weekend. I can't find anything on any of the sites I check, but if that ends up being an actual line, start pulling your retirement funds and go all in on the Bison to cover.

That's hilarious when you also note they're only SCORING 22.3 points per game.

And: The last time Minnesota outscored an opponent by 20 or more points? September 20th, 2008, vs. Florida Atlantic, 37-3.

I see them giving NDSU 8.5 points. They must be basing that on Minn's performance against USC, but I saw that as more of a USC letdown than a strong performance by Minn

They're giving South Dakota 54.5 at Wisconsin and I can believe that!!!

The question on South Dakota is whether Bielema calls off the dogs early or late. If it's 35-0 in the first quarter, watch out...it's all back-ups the rest of the way. They won't beat 54.5 then. That's an 8-TD difference and you gotta like South Dakota to score at some point (3 or 7).

You're probably right about that.

Just wondering...where are you getting these lines from?

Amazing! Let's be friends! xnodx

How cool would a USD over Wisconsin win be, though? Tyler Starr SACKS Russell Wilson. Game OvEr!

I got those lines from the GoHen site. I've been trying to locate an online source to back them up, but haven't been successful so far. I did find forums that say 5 dimes takes bets on FCS games, but a visit to their site was unsuccessful. Still looking.

Also came across this forum where "Mike Hook" claims FCS bets are a sure thing, but I'm skeptical. I think he's selling how-to materials. Here's the link to the forum: http://pregame.com/pregame-forums/f/12/t/173721.aspx

I would probably look at UNLV seriously right now. Coming off a 20-pt win over Hawaii really took me by surprise. I'm liking them over a strongly led South. Utah tm

Yes, I watched it and it was painful. Hawaii step on their own _ _ _ _ so many times, they practically gift wrapped it for UNLV. I think UNLV was playing their best, but if wasn't for Hawaii's horrific mistakes, I don't think the Rebels would have a W.

I believe the limit on bets containing an FCS school is $50. Atleast through some books.

I was told the 20.5 line right before week 1. It has probably changed. The game is listed on 5dimes under college extra but has no lines posted atm.

Someone who bets please clarify the $50 thing.

Hell, I'd put $50 on NDSU this weekend, especially if just to cover a 20 point spread (I know, it's less than that, but still).

$50 that's dumb. Unless you are the house. Let's start the AGS CASINO.

$50 against them covering a 20 point spread they haven't managed in three years? Hell, the odds of Minnesota even scoring twenty points are even odds at best. (I still have them beating NDSU, as you can see in the Valley pick'em thread - but that is only because this is possibly the only game the Gophers can win for the rest of the entire friggin' year).
