Oregon -45.5 against Tenn Tech is free money right? I mean really.

ETA: West Virginia -21.5 against James Madison?? Really?

They've "only" won by 23 and 17 in their first two games. When they let off the gas, they REALLY let off the gas.

This I can fricking get on board with.

I could buy into this but Arkansas State and Fresno State are teams that might go bowling. Arkansas State could even win their conference. Tennessee Tech...is Div I-AA.

I got burned week 1 by large spreads, so I tend to stay away.

Other intriguing big lines:
Miami -26 vs BCC
Clemson -31 vs Furman
Syracuse -19 vs Stony Brook

Yeah, WVU is the only one I'm actually considering of the five.

Why is that W. Virginia spread so low?

It's not at WVU. JMU is ranked #5 in FCS and won their first two games by a combined score of 97-10.

That said, I don't see how they stay within 3 TDs...

just saw that, but look at 2008 LSU vs App State. That was the worst LSU team in the past 10 years and they destroyed the number 3 time defending FCS champ. WVU will do the same to JMU

No, I agree with you. I was just trying to come up with reasons why the line is so low. This WVU team can score big numbers on anyone, much less an FCS school.

Wagers so far:

UCLA (-17) vs. Houston
WVU (-21.5) vs James Madison

I told myself I wouldn't bet on the heavy favorites.....I'm asking to lose apparently.

This is a safe bet.

Almost a sure thing I would say.

Although I thought the Saints were a sure thing last week

I locked up Tennessee at home at -2.5
