Pick the games straight up. The lines are just a guide in case someone has no idea what kind of a team X is fielding from *insert non-CUSA conference* this year, Vegas odds can kind of give some direction.

On a side note, Akron is 0-1, not 1-0. They got blown out 42-3 by Illinois.

And they lost only 5 home games to G5 competition during those 16 years, all by 7 points or less. Whether we agree or disagree with the line, Marshall has their work cut out for them.

Well, we are talking spread. Boise, over the last ten years, is the worst team in the MWC at covering the spread at home. This says that bettors put too much faith in Boise's dominance at home and typically push the spread too high, not that Boise isn't great at home.

My guess is you will see the spread widen this week, Boise will win, but probably not cover. Boise covers at home only about 30% of the time and Marshall covers as a road dog over 50% of the time.

Boise is excellent at home. I thought the line would have been even more. Unfortunately I think Boise is going to win decisively.

One of the other threads, a Marshall poster compare the Marshall program to Boise. Thats just not reality. Boise is the premier G5 program and if Marshall can pull off an upset it would be huge win for CUSA. Good Luck!

That Marshall green on that smurf field....ugh...

Friday, September 6, 2019.

8:00PM Wake Forest (1-0) @ Rice (0-1) Wake -18.5
MY LINE: Wake Forest 31-18 Rice has yet to show me something and I think Wake will be good this year.

9:00PM Marshall (1-0) @ Boise State (1-0) Boise -12.5
MY LINE: Boise State 35-25 Marshall might get the upset if Boise is feeling themselves too much after the road win at FSU.

Saturday, September 7, 2019

Noon UAB (1-0) @ Akron (0-1) UAB -8.5
MY LINE: UAB 27-23 UAB barely getting by last week has me spooked.


Noon Old Dominion (1-0) @ VaTech (0-1) VT -28.5
MY LINE: VT 30-21 I think VT has some issues to where there is a crack in the armor for ODU to have a shot, but I think VT gets this.

3:30PM Grambling (0-1) @ LaTech (0-1) No Line
MY LINE: La Tech 35-17 La Tech should be able to dominate.

3:30PM USM (1-0) @ Miss State (1-0) MSU -16.5
MY LINE: Miss St 34-30 USM could very well have the stones to get that road win but I always side with the SEC in these road games like this because it always seems like there is something on their side to assure the win.

3:30PM Charlotte (1-0) @ App State (1-0) App -21.5
MY LINE: App State 37-20 App State wins.

4:00PM UTSA (1-0) @ Baylor (1-0) Bay -27.0
MY LINE: Baylor 45-23 Da Bears.

7:00PM UCF (1-0) @ FAU UCF -10.0
MY LINE: UCF 45-20 I have a feeling this could get ugly.

7:00PM WKU (0-1) @ FIU (0-1) FIU -8.5
MY LINE: WKU 24-21 Neither team sold me last week....

7:00PM Tenn. State (1-0) @ MTSU (0-1) No Line
MY LINE: MTSU 35-23 MTSU should be able to get this.

7:00PM North Texas (1-0) @ SMU (1-0) SMU -4.0 GOTW
MY LINE: UNT 27-26 My view has this as a legit toss up. I took SMU in my AAC predictions and I'll take UNT here--that way I can cover myself.

8:00PM UTEP (1-0) @ Texas Tech (1-0) TTU -34.0
MY LINE: TxTech 45-10 This will get ugly I fear.

Good Luck!

That's what I think anyway.....05-stirthepot07-coffee3

RE: *****CUSA Lines In The Sand - Week 2*****
This week looks like a beat down for a lot of CUSA.

[b]Wake Forest beat Utah St, too much for Rice

Hope wrong, but Boise State beats the spread against Marshall

UAB erases some of stain from last week beats Akron

VA Tech gets big time revenge for last year over ODU

La Tech easy win over neighbor Grambling

Will be tough battle but Miss State will prevail over USM

Little chance for Charlotte, App State

UTSA beats odds, but Baylor easily wins

FAU ought to fire their schedule maker, goes down to UCF


FIU bounces back, and takes CUSA lead with trouncing of WKU

MTSU easily wins this state match with Tn St.

Felt a lot better about this game before I saw NT's defense; NT in shootout over SMU

The battle for West Texas supremacy won't be close, TT big over UTEP

RE: *****CUSA Lines In The Sand - Week 2*****
Week 2 coming up !! 02-13-banana
'
Friday, September 6, 2019.

8:00PM Wake Forest (1-0) @ Rice (0-1) - Tough call, Rice played well against Army but Wake's Newman passed for 400+ which Army doesn't do well. I think Rice makes a game of it but the Demon Deacons prevail by 10.

9:00PM Marshall (1-0) @ Boise State (1-0) - The Herd head out to the blue gridiron of BSU. Boise won at Florida State against a decent FSU team while Marshall thumped a hapless VMI team so I have to go with the Broncos by 17.

Saturday, September 7, 2019

Noon UAB (1-0) @ Akron (0-1) - The Zip were unzipped rather viciously by the Fighting Illini while UAB escaped at home over what has been a dreadful Alabama State game. Lets hope the Dragons show up in Akron. UAB by 3.

Noon Old Dominion (1-0) @ VaTech (0-1) - The Monarchs edged what is normally a fairly weak Norfolk State team while Virginia Tech lost at BC in a league battle. I imagine the Hokies want a little payback for their collapse last fall. Va Tech by 20.

3:30PM Grambling (0-1) @ LaTech (0-1) - The Fighting Tigers of Grambling lost to another in-state FBS team in ULM and this will be another one. The Bulldogs will not have much trouble with a team that is quite a step down from the Longhorns. Bulldogs by 27.

3:30PM USM (1-0) @ Miss State (1-0) MSU - Southern Miss wants to show the Bulldogs from Starksville that they can play some football too. This should be a solid battle. Look for the homeboys to eek one out by 6.

3:30PM Charlotte (1-0) @ App State (1-0) App - In a battle of Carolina teams look for the boys from Boone to pull away from the 49ers. Would love to see Charlotte put some pressure on though. App State by 13.

4:00PM UTSA (1-0) @ Baylor (1-0) Bay - The Road Runners put on a pretty solid show against ICU but this is not the Cardinals. Baylor also dispensed another Southland foe and will take care of UTSA in Waco. Bears by 20.

7:00PM UCF (1-0) @ FAU (0-1) - The Golden Knights just flat out ran over the Rattlers and the Owls lost at Columbus to The Ohio State. I just don't see FAU being able to hang with UCF for 4 quarters. UCF rolls by 24.

7:00PM WKU (0-1) @ FIU (0-1) FIU - WKU was embarrassed by the Bears of Central Arkansas at home although UCA was likely the best FCS team CUSA faced in week one while FIU drown in a series of Green Waves and absorbed a wider margin than expected. Look for the Golden Panthers to pull one out at home but it should be a close one. FIU by 3.

7:00PM Tenn. State (1-0) @ MTSU (0-1) - The Nashville Tigers head down the road to Murfreesboro to do battle with the Blue Raiders in a somewhat crosstown battle but this FCS team will not get one up on MTSU. MTSU by 21.

7:00PM North Texas (1-0) @ SMU (1-0) - The Ponies of Ft Worth went into Jonesboro and took one from the Red Wolves and now host the Mean Green from Denton. I just don't see the SMU defense stopping Fine. Look for North Texas to get a pretty valuable road win over SMU by 10.

8:00PM UTEP (1-0) @ Texas Tech (1-0) - UTEP did get a W right out of the gate but Houston Baptist is not Texas Tech. The Red Raider's latest gunslinger is Alan Bowman and he should pick apart the Miners secondary. Texas Tech should have little trouble. Texas Tech by 24.
