1st Round Lines

[MolivaManiac]

St Francis +13.5 @ Nova
Weber St +15 @ Chatty
Lehigh -4.5 @ UNH
Chuck South +1.5 @ Wofford
NCAT +11.5 @UR
Illinois State +2.5 @ UCA (stinky, stinky line - wow)
Samford +8.5 @ Youngstown
USD +10.5 @ Cal Poly

The Lehigh line surprises me a bit. Also thought Nova would be a larger favorite.

 

[SpiderRick]

I hate being the favorite. We were favored in all three of our loses (2 were double digit favorites if I remember right).

Mo is this the Vegas line? It just seems way too high given the circumstances.

They probably don't have a clue that we lost our QB or how important he is to our team.

I think they do. We are probably more than 3 TD favorite with Lauletta. very difficult task for the bookies on this one.

I'm honestly scratching my head tying to figure not only how we would win by 11 pts but also how we will even score 11 points in the first place.3-50 yd FG's by Rickey plus a safety would do it,and D pitches a shutout.

You forgot the defensive td unless of course you assumed it was called back for targeting.

I agree and if I were a betting man would jump all over NCA&T and the +11.5. If we win it will be 10-7

 

[paward]

For my sake can we just say when we win and not if. I believe we will win!

-13 now.Crazy.

 

[SpiderK]

Only time you can beat Vegas is with local knowledge.

 

[I-M-UR]

-13 now.Crazy.

I agree but I can never bet against UR.

 

[Hanca]

Have to take the points. UR can still win by 12. Best bet may be under. Believe this game is decided by which team does not let other play on short field; kickoff returns and coverage and turnovers. Think Spiders get early lead and eat clock as UR would have against W&M absent poor targeting call.

I expect an old fashioned grind it out game, good point about the short fields. TO's may decide the winner.

Preferably a fumble recovery by Rubin in the second half...

[SpiderRick]

Speaking of defensive scoring, has the defense scored this year?

 

[ChoppinBroccoli]

Speaking of defensive scoring, has the defense scored this year?

Yes, last week on a scoop and score off of a Cluley fumble after Rubin blew him up.

Other than that - no, just a punt return TD.

We wuz robbed!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think our horrible special teams will do more to determine poor field position. It was ok with Lauletta starting from the 17 yard line every time but not anyone else we have. NCA&T will be starting from their 40 every time.
