The Odds: FCS First Round

Hens game only one not listed, perhaps because of uncertainty at QB.

Bison favored by 30.5. Richmond favored by 5.

FYI Here is how I would have handicapped the first round games if I were running a spread pool ...

Mercer -0.5
Youngstown St. -22.5
Richmond -9.5
Southern Illinois -9.5
North Dakota -5.5
North Dakota St. -37.5
Austin Peay -8.5
Delaware -9.5

This is using my super-secret formula based on the Born Power Index with no other tweeks, for what it's worth...

Hens a 7.5-point favorite five hours before kickoff.

It's always amazed me that the oddsmakers can put out lines for FCS. You really really really have to know your stuff.

I believe the Delaware line was at -10 on DraftKings on Thursday.

Money came in on Laffy??!!

Hmmmmm, I just can't see it. I understand it, with UD starting QB3, but UD is bigger, better, and has a deeper roster. Interesting money line movement.
