WYO 30 point Favorite vs Montana

[aranderson]

According to the collegefootballpoll.com computers and/or the Congrove computer ranking computers have Wyoming at a 30 point favorite in week One.

Wow, as much as I love Wyo, no way would I put money on us with that spread.

Those guys are on crack. Everywhere else I have seen it is 1/10 that.

I was just about to say, are you sure you read that correctly? Most have it at UW -3 / -3.5.

If we were coming off a 10 win season with Brett Smith back but with Bohl improving everything, I would be able to see us being a 30 point favorites. As it is? Yeah, 3 points sounds about right. I want the team and Bohl to prove me wrong, but until otherwise, that's what I see.

I mean, don't get me wrong...if Wyoming won by 30, we wouldn't be totally blown away. Likely would mean Bohl is everything he's been hyped up to be and more. But to have that as the expectation? I don't know about that.

Someone fat-fingered the data dump...

If Wyo was 30+ favorites, I would take Montana all day.

Will you be wearing a 1/2 and 1/2 shirt while placing the wager? :rofl:

I feel like I should bring some of those ridiculously oversized boxing gloves to the tailgate for you two :lol:

Seconded.

Now that will be fun to watch.

I agree, maybe a 10 pt spread but 30, I just don't see it, hope they can but that's a bit too high for my blood

SERIOUS FLAWS WITH THAT "COMPUTER SYSTEM"

It has every FBS team being a huge favorite over the FCS. Past years have shown that the top of the FCS is every bit as good (and usually better) than the bottom of the FBS. Some other ridiculous notables:

Maryland 36 pt favorites over James Madison
Iowa State 27 point favorites over North Dakota State
Iowa 39 point favorites over Northern Iowa
Syracuse 43 point favorites over Villanova

I will take all the FCS teams and put big money on the FCS teams with those lines.

I would be totally blown away and will then change my prediction for the year drastically. No matter how good Bohl is, we have a new starter at QB, a completely new system on both offense and defense and we are playing a damn good FCS team.

 

[BeaverPoke]

Hmm... With Oregon State's recent FCS struggles I'm surprised the line isn't reading Portland State -3.5

Lol...

But really I think there are bound to be more FCS upsets this season.

I really hope Appy. State beats Michigan again.

 

[OrediggerPoke]

I really hope Appy. State beats Michigan again.

This is FBS v. FBS.

 

[BeaverPoke]

I really hope Appy. State beats Michigan again.

This is FBS v. FBS.

Aah, so it is.

But either way, it's the rematch!
