Official NDSU v JMU Championship 2.0 Speculation Thread

[CAS4127]

There have been enough replies in this thread and the other one I finally read it. I loved it. If somebody explains it to CAS, he will laugh too.

Well, we do play in a Dome, and weather may be a factor in this game. I’ll get you game weather conditions when onsite, since I’ll be there ....

Ouch...low blow. Killing me being at work and not going this time.

This a FCS bettor I follow. He posts his 5Dimes bets and analysis every week. Hes usually pretty good.

"Last year I took EWU and the points vs NDSU, and cashed a ticket. This year's number is a real eyebrow raiser. NDSU is fetching +105 on the ML and +1.5 around the offshores. Bookmaker is hanging in there with a $1000 max payout, so the big boys aren't yet committing to this line. The limits will go up Thursdayish as they get a feel for the handle.

The ONLY reason I can find to back JMU is the rush D discrepancy. JMU is ranked #1 and NDSU comes in at #30. If any of you guys are playing JMU with another angle, I'd love to hear the rationale.

At this point it is becoming cliche', but this may be the best NDSU team yet. At least stats wise, the offense certainly is...the big advantage for the Bizon is the O'line. JMU is undersized up front and likes to speed rush from the perimeter...I have a hunch that NDSU will be able to do what they want inside the tackles when it counts. If I'm right, this will place a tremendous amount of pressure on a JMU O that struggled mightily vs Northern Iowa and at times vs Weber St.

So, to me this is the either a layup for the Bizon or a huge Vegas trap game. Personally, I don't believe in shades or traps...makes things too difficult. Until they lose, Bizon it is.

For now, it's NDSU +105 for me. We will get into bet sizes as the week progresses."

This analysis reflects my emerging feelings on the game. We don't need to abandon our identity on offense, defense will do well if we prevent big pass plays.

I would hope there wouldnt be a defense/team in the country that would make us change our identity.

This pregame conversation is almost identical to 2017. The first sign of a "capable" program and everyone goes in their hole and starts prepping themselves for a loss.

gtfoh...that is literally the polar opposite of Bison Pride.

Is the JMU coach related to the IUP head coach the Bison defeated in 1990 DII Championship game?

Come on, buddy... just because I’m trying to realistically assess our opponent and our chances at being successful on Saturday does not mean I lack Bison Pride...

Plus, considering how close NDSU came to losing that game, I’d say Bison fans did a good job preparing themselves for a loss.

Yes this is his son I believe

Thanks
That’s a good story line. Has anyone seen any coverage on this connection in the game?
