Montana State +15
Montana State is receiving 79 percent of the bets against Power 5 member Oregon State. And while the majority of the bets are on the underdog, the line has moved against them. The line opened +14 and is currently at +15.
Youngstown State +31.5
Like Montana State, the majority of the bets are on the underdog (76 percent in this game), but the line is moving towards Power 5 Kentucky in this matchup. The line opened +30.5 and is currently at +31.5
A Rare FCS favorite versus an FBS team
North Dakota State -1.5
North Dakota State, the defending (and multiple time) FCS National Champions are road favorites against Power 5 Arizona Wildcats in this one. The Bison are receiving 67 percent of the bets but the line is moving against them as well. NDSU opened -3 and are currently -1.5.
Let’s see if the public can get on the right side this weekend.
