We open -3 1/2 against Sam Houston

About what I expected, given the home field.

Basically and even game.......the book has to establish a betting line to get the ball rolling; it will adjust as the $$$ starts coming in. But, can't see FCS playoffs generating much action nationally.

I think the opening line is primarily based on predictors, like the Sagarin. Sam Houston is slightly ahead of us there, but the home field gives us a small boost. The $ will of course, as you say, dictate the fluctuations.

Last week we opened at -6 and it rose to -9 game day - due I expect to Liberty alums and faithful not being the betting type, and few bettors finding the game interesting.
