Week 2 FCS vs FBS and FCS/FCS action

guys, here are my thoughts on this:

FCS vs FCS foes: would look Univ. of south dakota hosting St. Thomas (non schol. pioneer league fade)

montana state + south dakota state should be a thriller!! 

mercer after two butt cheecks pefrformances PERFECT time to get right against morehead state (pioneer league fade) 

gardnew webb/elon...sneaky good FCS game. 

Maine, long travel to miami and now on the bus to Fargo...eeesh good luck with that. 

Might take a shot with North alabama. they have been very impressive to say the least. 

FCS action ill be looking at this week (7-1 in FCS YTD)
Holy Cross - man o man I checked this game earlier in the summer, never thought BC would be coming off a SU loss, likely all ATS value gone, was hoping for +20, now will likely be +10

Delaware State- Army...great spot to back the black cadets in this one...and after a loss at crappy ULM we should have a favorable spread (-28ish) could see army getting a Feel good win in this spot

CMU- New Hampshire, UNH doesnt care about games against FBS foes and always gets blown out...maybe we catch the oddsman asleep at the wheel and can grab a CMU -16 type bet?

BG/EIU? what in the world. BG looked pretty horrific and turned the ball over alot, EIU pretty impressive indeed in their shutout win against the syc's BG has a history of letting these weaker FCS teams hang around and then getting caught withtheir girdle down at the end...

Navy/Wagner...navy rolls here, wagner is butt cheeks and with the week 1 bye week for navy i have to assume they have their offensive woes figureed out.

Idaho/Nevada...going to be a great game...could we possibly get a crack at the vandals as a dog? if so...I...D...A..H...O...Idaho idaho go go go!!

FAMU- south florida looked pretty decent against WKU for the 1st three quarters. kinda fell apart. would be a great spot to catch the rattlers and +30...I bet we see +18, not as apatizing.

ULM- Lamar...lay it with the warhawks in my opinion

UCD- can we possibly get enough points to make this one interesting? UCD can bring it...

Albany/Hawaii...can we get the danes at +21 and peep the first half under also. hawaii back to form of stinking it up against tree, bad peformance and they were really never in it...ugh that was rough. my 10 points of CLV gone in 20 minutes of game action. albany slower paced this year. and hawaii pace is also slower, and the are huddling almost all the 1st half bfore going uptempo 2nd half.

Give you a lot of credit man. It's hard enough to handicap the NCAAF games now you are throwing in the FCS games  YIKES!!! Good luck!!!

thank you brother. no reason not to. that money spends just as easily as money won on alabama or texas. 

SHHHHH....mercer will be a play if they are less than -28. if they dont score 55+ something is waaaay wrong there. 

I have a question about  FCS BETTING LINES where to get em

most off shore books. betonline, bookmaker, heritage, betfred...all of them actually

they are released usually day-of the game...around 10am central

@steponaduck

 Usually in the extra game section correct?

@shagilious

 Yes they either call it FCS Football or COLLEGE EXTRA

URI vs Stony Brook on Friday night should be worth a look. I had them +10 1st half and +17 vs Georgia State. I’m on URI -13.5 or less. They won on the road 35-14 last year.

shagilious

 My fault I  meant  not when FCS BETTING LINES comes out at sportsbook I meant when does  FCS Lines came out  Friday: herehttps://madduxsports.com/college-football-lines.php  ?

i use maddux and an odds updater from unabated

steponaduck maddux and an odds updater from unabated which is ? Can I get FCS college Football lines their all week ?

@sportman13

 I guess the answer is no, because offshore and Vegas casinos don’t release lines for FCs unti the day of the game. So there are no lines to track all week. 

you can go to various different websites for power rankings and create your own lines by figuring the difference in PR and factor home field and injury news. Massey ratings, Jeff sagarin ratings, Phil Steele, action network, etc. 

But there are no lines for any FCS games until day of

FCS Considerations: (low limit lines provided by 5dimes on madduxsports- so these are educated guesses)

Army -37.5
CMU-14
Navy -41.5
NIU -3
LSU + Grambling over 55.5
New Mexico -19
ULM -28
Hawaii -8.5
Incarnate Word is listed at +18.5??
Mercer -34.5/Over 58.5

Idaho +3

@steponaduck

 Thanks for pointing out that these 5D lines are up.  I didn't see them up early last week.  Must have been because it was week 1, maybe.

PSU rolls Delaware don't they?  Just how HC Franklin does things non-conf as a heavy favorite.  It wasn't apparent vs. SB, but Delaware losses were pretty heavy this offseason is my recollection.

Curious to see a Furman / SC line.  Somebody out?  Guess I should check the injury report.  

I would be very interested to see that line. tons of injuries on the SO CAR side, according to rotowire...day to day, limited in practice, all that BS. 

do we dare see the Dins +24.5??? 

@steponaduck

There is one book that has been out early the last two weeks on FCS.  Reminds me of the "old days" of another book that made small adjustments only, if that, from Massey.  This game feels like this week's Northern Iowa / Iowa State game in terms of line movement.  Massey is still over that number you mentioned.  And your preseason S&P+ power ratings convert to -21.8 with 2.8 HFA.  So slightly down from that after week 1 adjustments.  Time will tell, but I think a fair line is much less than what it could open.

Good stuff bro 

@sportman13

 They are this week from 5Dimes which is an off shore book that no longer accepts USA players. 

they are somewhat accurate but not betable
