UMass is an 18-point underdog to Mississippi State. Other interesting lines are Liberty is only a 1-point favorite over Jacksonville State and Oregon is a 15-point favorite over Michigan. When was the last time Michigan was a 15-point underdog? Liberty is not overwhelming opponents this year.
I watched the first half of the Arkansas-Mississippi State game on the treadmill yesterday. The Bulldogs moved the ball on Arkansas, but missed field goals and were twice stopped (once inside the Arkansas five yard line) on fourth down.
However, the Razorbacks threw the ball and ran at will against Mississippi State. In passing the Hogs went 23-29-1 and 5 TD's. Taisun Phommachanh under-threw the ball two or three times in the Wagner game missing several big completions. UMass could have the chance to score some points on the Bulldogs if he is on target.
