Any interesting FBS vs FCS matchups in week 1 people are looking forward to?

Question

I know that the spreads are not out yet however there are some interesting matchups in week 1 that I like.

Missouri vs Missouri state looks juicy.

Uptempo air raid offense
SHOULD BE a much improved defense
Hoping for a spread in the high 20's-low 30's

Any other good matchups vs FCS you guys like in week 1?

Arkansas vs FAMU (hoping for -49 or less)

Sac state va Idaho (hoping for IU -12 or less)

Central Connecticut vs Syracuse (SU-37 or less) cuse might score 70

E. Wash va TTU (total might be 99.5)

JMU vs ECU ( ECU could be a pk!!)

SE mo state vs KU (would love KU -14 or less)

TD21 · Answer

If you have a 5D account, it will likely open at &#x2B;/- 2 pts of -21.5.

steponaduck · Answer

Unlikely with how bad Mo St is. Last year Memphis was -27.5. Pounded em. I say closer to -35.5

TD21 · Answer

No need to hope....  Same comment, 5D will open &#x2B;/- 2 pts from the following based on the currently available information for these games.  Find the info and get prepared.  Arkansas -49.5Syracuse -38.5 *but you&#x27;ll like the Total offered at around 60.Idaho - 30.5Texas Tech -7.5 &amp; Total 84.5Tough to say if they&#x27;ll actually follow this, but ECU will be &#x2B; pts to open.Kansas - 21.5

I believe five dimes is far more advanced than just blindly following Massey and his numbers, I know exactly where you&#x27;re getting that information from. It&#x27;s no secret, and five dimes knows that

steponaduck · Answer

I am prepared, and I&#x27;m all over Massey ratings. In the past, 5D has blindly put out Massey numbers, things have changed there.

steponaduck · Answer

I am a mistake hitter, and I have a cross referenced Massey ratings with the five dimes lines for years, and those openers have mirrored Massey very closed. But I think five dimes is tired of getting buried on these FCS lines, and I just have a feeling things are going to change. With all the information out there, and with Vegas getting FCS lines out earlier than ever before, I just have a feeling the dichotomy will be less and less

TD21 · Answer

They&#x27;ve always followed Massey (within a few points) is what&#x27;s crazy to me.  .... guess we&#x27;ll have to wait and see, but the one FCS vs. FBS game that is out now matches.  And the 3 College Extra games offered all opened per Massey.  It may continue.  I would say continue to study those predictions and at the same time, know your own # for a play ...... sounds like you&#x27;re way ahead on that part.

It all started for me, when I did preparation on a week Three matchup 3-4 yrs back between Purdue and Indiana state. Purdue lost at home to CMU, and opened at +7.5 vs Indiana state. I bet it at +7.5, 7, 6, 5.5, 4.5, 4, 3.5, 3, 2, ok, -2, -2.5 all max plays for $100 each at 5D.

Purdue wins the game 38-13.

I have another easy way that you can make money following the five dimes mistake lines, if you'd like to PM me.

*hint. It involves citadel BB

scalabrine · Answer

Louisville (FBS) vs. Purdue (Default FCS team) &#x2B;25.5.

TD21 · Answer

Yep, we had this same conversation last year when you were posting as Shua or jdn or whatever.Good find at the time on Purdue!  Can&#x27;t believe they offered that.  Good luck this year on your RSW total plays.

a1_tellem · Answer

Interested to see how close the spreads are to the Massey ratings. I'd be all over MIZZ max bet.

I like Syracuse as well but more so at the -31 to -35 range.

I'd be all over ECU as well. They have a quarterback with the transfer of Thomas Sirk & I don't think they'll be as bad as some predict. +7 in a home opener to an FCS team is an absolute gift.

MikeMed · Answer

I like Miami OH to easily cover the 4.5 points @ Marshall..

This Redhawks team is very intriguing......They were 6-1 last season when Ragland Started at QB....That one loss was by 1 point to MISS ST............The guy has 20 TDS and only 1 INT in his career.........The team also ran the ball better when he started....Their "D" finished 25th in nation last season (granted they play in the MAC) But with 8 starters returning there is nothing to suggest they wont be even better this season.

Marshall went 3-9 last season and wont be a whole lot better this year........they have a good QB in Litton but nothing special around him........they had a horrible "D" last season they may getter a little better as they have 7 guys coming back..But being 107th ranked defense there only so much better they can get.

I believe Miami is a much better team....Better "O" Much better"D" and better special teams as well........This line IMO should be 7 or better......I see Miami covering rather easily...

Good luck fellas

bigvern1013 · Answer

Eastern Washington is a serious question mark this season...no more Beau Baldwin calling plays.....could be a learning curve there.But,  EWU D will leak like a siv, no doubt about that.

bigvern1013 · Answer

For the record, I have filed divorce papers against the Purdue Boilermakers. Not wagering another dollar on them until Blough stops throwing the ball up for grabs on 1st down and the run defense posts numbers under 5ypc.

TD21 · Answer

Double, you are aware that Gordie Lockbaum has exhausted his eligibility, correct!?

...... Got to see him play once upon a time. Pretty dominant dude back then in Wuh-stah (local pronunciation of Wooster BTW). He NEVER came off the field. He might have been kicking extra points that day too for all I know.

Steponaduck - I sent you a friend request. Would be very interested in discussing mistake lines. I found something recently that has piqued my interest on this topic.
