I think that the home teams will win in both of these games, but I would have guessed the spreads to be half of what they are.
I'm not too shocked by the LT vs Charlotte line. Charlotte is a dumpster fire (no offense to anyone) and I'm still convinced LT is a much better team than their record.
UAB by 10 over UNT feels strong though.
ODU is favored by 6 at USM. They haven't lost at home yet, but their home opponents are, as I copy/paste from Aggie:
OOC
11/10/17 vs. SUNO (RPI 240)
11/20/17 vs. Blue Mountain (????)
12/03/17 vs. Rust (????)
12/10/17 vs. Troy (RPI 223)
12/16/17 vs. William Carey (????)
CUSA
01/04/18 vs. UTEP (RPI 305)
01/06/18 vs. UTSA (RPI 200)
01/18/18 vs. Rice (RPI 333)
01/20/18 vs. North Texas (RPI 210)
So the -6 feels pretty low. But then again I don't bet on ODU otherwise I would have a mild heart attack followed by medium-rare depression. Plus there's no way for me to watch, which would make it even worse. Sorry to make this all about me. Look at me.
