Sports Chat Place previews the UMass-Duquesne game. They have UMass as -23.  Usually there is no line on FBS-FCS matchups. Vegas Insider has no line on the Minutemen-Dukes game.

If I could find a line. I think UMass will be playing "plain vanilla" on both offense and defense against the Dukes, so the Minutemen brain trust would be shooting for a 14 point or so win and lots of playing time for the new players.

The Dukes RB A. J. Hines gathers another preseason All-American award.
