Bison Forum

Is he hurt? He played last week against the Racers and has played in every game I think. No news at their official site.

The game is getting some action. Spread is still NDSU -4.5. But instead of -110 either way it’s now -115 NDSU and -103 SDSU. The Bison are emerging as the favorite with the money too.

Just saw that the game is scheduled on pud ESPNU. Bastards!

Yea, the espn+ package did it for years, now the expanded package is needed to see all the games.

Whats the matter with ESPNU?????

Fan Duel checks in, all lines open. Compared to DraftKings 4.5 jump on this one.
Their odds are very tricky.

Bison should cover 3.5. GAM says they can cover 7. Points cost either team 113 to win 213. Straight forward

GAM says total score 51. We pick over. It’s expensive, put down 120 to get back 220. Under is approaching even money. This is where the Mason/Marble situation can cause dissonance. Two great offenses make the obvious over expensive. We are paying the price and picking over, just like the GAM formulas say.

The money line, GAM says Bison win but we have to pay 178 to win 278. Pay 100 On The Jacks and you get back 238. Is it worth an extra 78 to win 40 more? That’s the problem, especially in evenly matched games like this. An SDSU upset is in a universe very close to us.

Not much out of the ordinary has to change to move us into a Bison lose universe, but to take the favorite is expensive. It’s cheaper to take a flyer and choose SDSU in the minor upset. It can act as a hedge saving the position with the upset and purchased with their money from the other 2 positions paying off with a Bison win.

We cleared our head and went with the heart: BISON on the money.

Nothing, really, but I have gotten by without it for years. Now I have to buy espnu too and it’s extra. It’s not as widely available so it’s a step down for the game too.

Two FCS powers, No. 1 North Dakota State and No. 2 South Dakota State, meet for the 116th time on Saturday. The two will play in the 21st edition of the Dakota Marker rivalry (dating back to 2004).

Here's how you can watch the exciting game:

Time: 8 p.m. ET
Date: Saturday, Oct. 25
TV channel: ESPNU
Streaming: WatchESPN
Location: Dana J. Dykhouse Stadium in Brookings, SD
Live Stats: Follow live here

If it goes SDSUs way it could be 34-15 Jacks, total 49 and a cover

If it’s all Bison 44-10, total 54 and a cover

We are seeing the betting lines come in Bison -4.5, Total 49.5 and Bison to win.

The GAM is reading 29-22 Bison covering the 4.5 pt spread, there are 2 strong and 1 weak over 49.5 signals and Bison are the favorites everywhere.

Don’t forget Watertown! If you have time good food and drink (out of the ordinary) at Dempsys (truly world famous pizza) and the Main St cafe (real fries, local beef from Goodwin Dakota prime beef) Both downtown.

Above all be careful, don’t speed and be on guard Brookings county is communist territory. Dont misgender!

I think there are many ways to get a free trial of ESPNU....just do a free trial through a streaming provider that carries and, and then cancel the trial after the game.

YouTube TV, Hulu, Fubo, etc....they all carry it and offer free trials of their platform
