Bison Forum

There is a lot of information provided by The Game Analyser Mechanism not always revealed. You see our final outcome. That’s the most basic. Its fun to guess. If it’s for money it’s best to have a system based on reality.

The over under is the trickiest. We have 3 indicators: final score, offenses only, defenses only. Using them has really improved our over/under analysis and results. We present final score total we wager looking at all three.

The money line is all odds

The odds are the invisible hand.

It’s fun to use it to predict games against a future reality, like next Sat, but that’s not its real purpose in life. It’s designed to oppose the Las Vegas computers: are they right or wrong. The odds can be uses as a measure of their conviction.

Bison game is a good example

Fanduel: NDSU -29.5/-113; Total 60.5/-113; Score 45-15.
GAM: NDSU -13; Total 57; Score Bison 35-22,

Everything is $113. $13, the std vig this week. They aren’t trying to encourage money. They have constructed the spread around the 43-10 possibility we both see, in Every scenario the GAM shows under 60.5. We are very confident of the Bison covering 13, less so about 29.5 but they are able to win by 33. So the indicator is cover. It will be tight. Whos putting $100,000 to win $100? Fanduel is certain of a Bison win. easy money for their customers is not their game.

Back east football sure isn’t what it used to be but Harvard, after only 7 games has a very efficient offense and stingy D. Fargo could be in their future.

By the odds: Contenders or pretenders?

DRAFTKINGS DOLLAR CROWD SOURCING
My money is with the Montanas as top contenders. Ten Tech reigns supreme as huge question mark. Their game against UKentucky will tell us if they are real.

Sagarin top FCS

Some similarities and lots of differences to the various rankings. At Draft Kings Bison 28:1 favorites, next best Tarleton 1:9 underdog.

Owning the FCS is the best publicity bargin in sports today. If the other schools want to give it away let them. If the FBS wants to expand let them make an offer, they better make it good.

NDSU is no FBS power house, the Bison are 0-2 FBS in modern times. So what’s the hurry? There’s room for a new FBS conference in the Dakotas, Montana and Idaho. The great west infrastructure is there. When the time is right it should happen. The fact that it hasn’t tells us the time is not right.

Give us the scholarships and the budgets and we’re more than competitive in the FBS.
