1:30 PM Citadel @ Army (CBSN) -31½ | 50½...roughly, 41-10 Black Knights score projection
3:00 PM Mercer @ Jacksonville State (ESPN+) -6½ | 59½...roughly, 33-27 Gamecocks score projection
Will be surprised if the bellhops can keep it this close. Army is FAST. Not sure CIT has the Team Speed on D to keep up & their O has been rather pedestrian, if that “pedestrian” is a 90 year old blind lady in a wheelchair crossing I-26. Maybe Army will throttle down against their kinda, sorta military brethren.
Also surprised that the Mercer @ JaxSt line is this close. After JaxSt showed they can get up by 14 over a P5 ACC Team last week and no one really knows what Mercer has - btw, QB Robert Riddle is being held out until Spring - FUBeAR would have thought this line would be between 28 - 35, favoring the Cocks, of course. Maybe the 90% chance of rain forecast is holding the line down, figuring it may slow down JSU’s stellar QB (transferred from Clemson, a few years ago)
Also...only 1other FCS game...
3:30 PM Central Arkansas @ Arkansas State (ESPN+) -13
If UCA doesn’t have an emotional letdown following their near upset of the bizuns in the FargoDome, they might have a chance at getting the 1st (and maybe, only) FBS scalp this Fall.
