Point Spread for Saturday...

[MarkinPhila]

I am thinking they took us off the board do to the uncertainty of Skyler. However, does anyone remember the spread from the pre-season where all games were listed?

 

[Woody in Helvetia]

No spreads for games vs FCS teams.

 

[WVex-pat in GA]

Seem to recall -23.5 from an earlier post.

Vegas reports lists NO line at any time for the WVU-Youngstown game.
Vegas needs equal amount of money on each side of the line to make its profits. Not enough Youngstown bettors, no matter the line, to make that happen. Vegas can't handle a lopsided amount of money on one side of the line. Thus the invention of the point spread to begin with.

Well, WVU average margin of victory against FCS is 27.6 pts.

Top 15 FCS vs FBS

12. Youngstown State at West Virginia (Sept. 10)
No FCS coach likely fires up the opposing fan base quite like Youngstown State’s Bo Pelini, who was dumped after going 67-27 in eight seasons at Nebraska – yeah, right before the Cornhuskers went 6-7 last year. His Penguins, which won four FCS national titles in the 1990s under another controversial coach, Jim Tressel (now the YSU president), were competitive in a 45-37 loss at Pittsburgh on opening weekend last September.

It's not the point spread that's an issue. There are quite a few 40+ point spreads this week and our spread with YSU would not be that high.
