Wofford (1-1) vs Samford (1-2) Game Preview

What’s Going To Happen

Samford has the talent and upside to be a bit of a factor in the SoCon, but it’s 1-2 after strong performance in a loss to Furman in overtime (okay) and opening up with a loss to East Tennessee State (NOT okay). The offense has been fine, but the run defense hasn’t been anything special and the five turnovers – three against Furman – all seemed to hurt.

Speaking of disappointment, Wofford is right there with Furman as one of the stars of the SoCon, but a 24-13 loss to Chattanooga last week hurt. The offense stalled, the two turnovers hurt, and the team couldn’t control the clock like it needs to.

This is when the Wofford O line takes over.

Furman was able to rumble on the Bulldogs for 248 yards and kept the ball for close to 37 minutes, Wofford might be struggling a bit so far, but it’ll get the O going with the ground attack finally doing what it’s supposed to.

Valparaiso (0-0) vs Butler (0-0) Game Preview

For latest lines and to bet on the FCS, go to BetMGM

What’s Going To Happen

It’s the first game of the year for both teams expected to finish somewhere in the middle of the Pioneer pack – the loser of this will have an uphill climb ahead.

Both teams need to find some semblance of an offense after a rough 2019, but Valparaiso brings more defense. The Crusaders have the returning players up front to get into the backfield a bit more, but Butler has the stronger offensive line.

Both teams get back their starting quarterbacks, but neither team’s passing game was anything to get fired up over.

The two are relatively even – Butler won 24-21 a few years ago. – but Valpo should be slightly stronger defensively, will be stronger on third downs. At home, though, the Bulldogs will grind their way through in an entertaining game despite the lack of fireworks.

Not to make any excuses before getting going, but if you so choose to invest in the FCS spring session, do so very, very lightly until there’s more information to go on deeper into the season.

1) Teams are super-flaky right now – and for good reason. There’s still that pesky global pandemic thing that’s making teams battle just to get on the field. 2) Even in normal times FCS games are tricky, so multiply that by a gajillion for a strange February campaign, and 3) …

Go for it. What else is there to do?

Take the same attitude and advice thrown out there as the 2020 FBS season got started. With everything off and everything weird, there are two ways to go – either like the underdogs since the lines are likely way off, or steer through the skid and go with what’s supposed to happen if everything was normal. Basically, pick a philosophy and go with it.

So with all that in mind, here are five games and lines this weekend that seem like the best plays of the bunch.

Click on each game for the game preview and fearless prediction.

5. Furman at VMI

LINE: Furman -21
ATS PICK: Furman
Bet on this, BetMGM latest line

Here’s an early theory that’s getting tested out in this weird, weird FCS spring season, and it’s hardly anything groundbreaking or novel.

Go with the team that has a little more experience.

Also, go with the team with the more known parts. All of the teams are still trying to put the pieces together and all of them are scrambling a bit. The easy call is the favorite with a reasonable spread with a game under its belt, and that’s Furman.

This might not be a national title-good Paladin team, but it has the offense to roll up a big early lead and then control the game with RB Devin Wynn and the ground attack. The 35-7 win over Western Carolina was easy, but it was also against a team that’s probably going to be the worst in the SoCon.

VMI is playing its first game of the year, and it has the offense – and the quarterback in Reece Udinski – to keep up, but the attack will be more dink and dunk than high-octane firepower.

Think 2020 Mississippi State when the O only sort of worked.

The 21 won’t be a breeze for Furman, but it should slowly and steadily get there.

NEXT: South Dakota at Illinois State
