Those aren't horrible opens imo. Let's see where they move, or if they move, but I think these numbers make sense.

Exactly which UCD team are you referencing? Certainly not the one that showed up in Hillsboro or Cedar City. That half-asleep UCD team is fully capable of losing in Missoula.

Gris haven’t beat anyone. Losses to ND and Weber look worse than ever. And a win over Cal Poly does not check the box of “firing on all cylinders”.

It’s funny to hear commentators and fans declare the gris are back, after victories over NAU (with a third-string QB), UNC, and Cal Poly. And then, in the next breath, insist the Cats either stink or are overrated because they “haven’t beaten anyone.”

Wow griz by 6.5! That seems like a lot for a team who lost to Weber at home and now has to play the #5 team in the country. Might have to throw a few bucks on Davis with the points!

Griz are playing better and Davis hasn’t played anybody.

Who have the griz played that really tested their D? Idk, I think UCD may pull off a win. Or it will be super close with the griz eeking out a 1-3 pt. win.

"Firing on all cylinders" is not the same as "playing better".

I've watched them play. I think they've been playing better than they were earlier. I'm not going off of box score stuff, I still think they're quite vulnerable, but they are playing better. I also think Davis is pretty overrated. I've said that in other threads as well. I think the Griz having the spread over Davis has more to do with home field advantage and Davis just not being as good as they're ranked.

Saying the Griz haven't beat anyone isn't that different than saying MSU hasn't beat anyone. Idaho and Missouri State are probably pretty comparable. I still think we're a fair amount better than the Griz, but I'd bet their the 2nd best team in the BSC at the end of the season.

That's my thought too. Sure they shut out UNCO and held CP to 7 pts, but neither were quality competition. Now, that said, if the D dominates UCD then I'll change my tune, but until then I just don't think they've really turned a corner.

I just feel the UCD offense will put up points and get just enough stops on D. And it'll be 7:15 PST!!

Aren’t you the same person that was taking up Lan Larrison the Davis offense? And now the Gris are the second best team in the conference after beating perennial door mats?

Yeah, I think you could arguably say Larison is the best back in the conference. UC Davis has a good offense. As a team, they’ve played nobody. Barely beat Idaho. Arguably lost to Portland State. They’re going to play in a tough environment in Missoula. It’s pretty easy to see a scenario in which they lose. Easy to see them win too.

I’ve been consistent that I think MSU is a tier above everybody else in the conference. UC Davis and UM are pretty similar overall. The conference, heck, the FCS as a whole, isn’t that strong outside of a few teams. I’m not saying I think the Griz are the 2nd best in the conference because of who they’ve beat, I’m saying it because I think they’ve looked better when I watched them. To argue we can’t judge them because of the crappy teams they’ve played and then look at our schedule and say we’re great…you can’t have it both ways! I’m going off of my eyes. Maybe I’m right, maybe I’m wrong, I’m certainly no genius, but UM is either #2, 3, or 4 right now, not a big difference between them.

Not to mention, NAU should have won in Missoula, but the Lumberjacks collapsed in the final moments of the game.

[wbtfg]

There’s a few more player props than there has been. Brody is even money to record a sack. Sac has a very good OL and only allows 1 sack a game, but I think Brody gets one this week.

[St George]

If the Weebs can beat the griz then UCD can beat them.

Also, I've watched enough BH teams to know that they will look significantly better by Cat-gris than they did against bad teams early in the season.

i am not sold on gris having it. they struggled at unco and keep starters in late in the 4th.

[rivercat]

Sports Bet MT reduced the spread from MSU -26.5 to -22.5. I'm going to take that for sure.

[Cataholic]

Griz not only don’t cover, they outright lose by two scores. Seems a number here probably made some money.

[catatac]

Cats open as 7.5 point favorites @ UCD
Griz open as 17.5 point favorites hosting PSU

[The Butcher]

If I were the betting type, I'd definitely put my money on the griz not covering that!

[kmax]

Cats open as 7.5 point favorites @ UCD
Griz open as 17.5 point favorites hosting PSU

Man, 7.5 is a lot for a game like this. O/U initially at 60.5 so an implied score of around 34-27

Ya, I thought so too. Figured it would be closer to a pick em, especially after they went into WAGriz and not only beat the spread but beat the Griz, somewhat handily.
