Some playoff facts

Top offensive team. AbileneChristian. 6,230 yds
Worst offensive team Villanova. 4,237 yds. Give Nova 2nd worse just noticed Lehigh with 4,176 yds.

Top scoring team. Montana State. 488 points
Worst scoring team. Villanova. 317 points

Shortest virtual offensive field. NDSU BISON. 78 yds
Longest virtual offensive field. Rhode Island 101 yds

Shortest virtual defensive field. ACU 97 yds
Longest virtual defensive field. SDSU 154 yds

Abilene Christian can move the ball but the defense gives the yards back. On top of that the NDSU defense is very stout, long defensive field and their offense scored 465 points on a virtual 78 yd field. Tough hill to climb. Expect a big spread and long odds

Montana State has the big spread at -15 after adjustments. It’s almost all strength of schedule adjustment. Before adjustment it was MSU 28-25.

Reasons for adjustment:

Montana State has 1,000 yds more offense than UT Martin and

UT Martin gave up over 1,000 yds more on defense

The narrowest spread is Ill State @ UC Davis -2. This could be a real good game with equally matched teams. Classic Big Fluffy vs MVFC.

The Bison might be close with the -6 spread. The spread is kept close by ACUs big offense which may sputter in the Fabulous Fargo Dome.

Another close one is Lehigh -5 @ Idaho. If Lehigh defense is stout enough to get their game they will be on the road to the win.

The most interesting game to me is Montana @ SDSU. If Montana can do something about that stingy Jacks rushing D and get close to their 205 yds rushing they could pull the upset but if not it could still be a good competitive game.

The rest are bigger spreads with less promise for close games but there will be a lot of great players on the field. The replay option on ESPN+ might come in handy. I’ll use the IPad and tv.

I haven’t seen the odds yet but the rout factor is all Bison. We will see that on the money line odds. The 6,000+ yds on offense can keep ACU close in the calculations but there are clues to a much bigger Bison win.

Of course, in some cases, these are still college kids and any given Saturday anything can happen. We are conservative.

The GAM tends to keep things tight. It will do 70%-75% when using it as a guide to the spread, the O/U and the money line. 3 chances every game, 6 choices.

I have a feeling the Bison will be big favorites too, I haven’t seen the odds. It might be NDSU -26 for -115 or maybe more. Not sure about over under? It’s the toughest call. Guessing it will be close to what we are showing. the money line might be 5:1 or more for NDSU. I might take ACU if they get enough points. The GAM is telling us it’s going to be hard for The Herd to cover a big spread but they are expected to win.

Please never wager and don’t follow my advice but here it is. All odds are from FanDuel. Bold are GAM numbers

ACU @ NDSU -6; O/U 55.5; Mythical Score NDSU 31-25
NDSU -24.5/-110; ACU 24,5/-110: GAM says NDSU may have difficulty covering the spread. So what? Take NDSU to cover 24.5 for $110. Most exciting bet in football
O/U 56.5 /-110. Too close to call no bet
Money Line NDSU -2200; ACU 1100. Ridiculous. No bet.
