A few comments regarding college football games involving a team from Division I versus a team from Division II.
The lines for these games are posted the same day they are scheduled at around 11 AM ET or noon.
Games that experience a big (and rapid) line move ( 2 points or more) are covering at a jaw dropping rate.
One game that stood like a sore thumb last saturday was Charleston Southern versus South Florida. The opening line was South Florida -35 and quickly swelled to -37.
Here are the plays for Week 4 that meet the criteria stated above :
1) McNeese State :
Opening line : +4.5
Closing line : +2
2) Grambling State :
Opening line : +43.5
Closing line : +40.5
3) Maine :
Opening line : +24
Closing line : +21
4) Hofstra :
Opening line : +24
Closing line : +21.5
There are 4 plays for Week 4 that meet the criteria (2 point move or better). One thing in common these plays share: they are all underdogs.
I am not touching these games yet. I am listing the plays for information purposes. I need a larger sample before I decide to jump in and try to catch a piece of the action
