1. Murray State at Toledo (Under 70)

The spread on this game is Toledo -40 which means that Vegas is expecting this game to be a runaway which is bad for the over. The more a team gets ahead the more they start to run the football which keeps the clock moving. Even if Toledo wins 56-10 that will give you the under.

I fully expect the Rockets to put up a lot of points, but with an over being that high you can’t afford the too much time to come off the clock in between scores.

Murray State and Toledo are both teams that like to put points on the board, but Toledo tends to stay balanced and run the ball more. If it were not for a 35-point quarter by Georgia last week against the Racers, the total stays way down.

dark. Next. Ranking college football's top 50 fanbases

This bet is something I would throw some money on, but it is hard to predict how many of the FCS teams will play, but 70 points is a lot of points and taking a shot on this could net a halfway decent return.
