Two point dogs to open, and it immediately went to 2.5!

I’m a little surprised by the line. Especially when you look at the analytical computer rankings on the teams. FAU significantly better in them.

Perhaps the line takes into account injuries (Robison, Davidson) whereas the computers do not.

Ah, NJOWL is correct…just noticed it.

"FAT-QB-Chris Robison-?"

Never seen "FAT" before for us!

Ridiculous…

Don’t have a good feeling about this game. Even if CR plays, he may not be 100% and we may be down to our 4th string RB. WKU’s offense hasn’t scored more than 25 points in a game all year I believe so maybe we’re in for a defensive slug fest.

Doubt there is much consideration for the line on the injuries. Not enough info to move it one way or the other.

Home field advantage is usually good for 2 or 3 points, so seems like the oddsmakers think this is basically even.  CR and Davidson’s injuries I am sure factor in to some degree - those guys don’t miss (or overlook) anything.
