i am taking a hard look at miami -55 against fl a&m and georgia southern -55 against savannah state.
id prefer to play the first half lines if i can get 35 or under. both these games have 70-3 written all over them.
Here is something I found in my research:
Since 2011, FBS teams are 24-2 against the spread vs. HBCUs.
Georgia vs. Southern last year was one of the two losses. The other was Cincinnati vs. Alabama A&M where Cincy missed the cover by half a point.
The thing is, 55 is such a damn high number, and Richt was the coach of one of those 2 losses. I'd feel safer with Georgia Southern, personally. UTSA -27.5 vs. Alabama State is one I'll be looking at, as well as UNLV -35.5 vs. Jackson State.
EDIT: First half lines, if they are available, will be auto plays for the HBCU games. I see Miami up 42-0 at half.

i remember that georgia game last year. Georgia was -49, and was only up 6 or 13 at half. Georgia then scored 5 td's in the third quarter and almost covered the spread.
i believe southern went on to win their conference last year. Fl A&m and Savannah state are the 2 worst teams in their conference.
I'm with you on miami up 42-0 at halftime.... the U first half will be my biggest bet first weekend.
