5dimes has set EWU as 21 pt underdogs with the over/under at 54.5....seems low, I'll be taking the over!!!

I got action at Eags +20.5 and bet with both hands on the over. I even put some down on a straight W which I feel pretty good about.

Can't wait!

While being a 21 point underdog is a bit discouraging, think about this...

Eastern is playing a team almost universally ranked between 9-15 in the various polls on the road. A 21 point line actually shows a pretty good amount of respect for an FCS team in this situation. Outside of NDSU, James Madison, and probably South Dakota State, any other FCS would be 40+ on the line.
 
I don`t see us losing by 20 points so a Benjie is safe there.
The Eagles will score more than 50 alone so another Benjie there, and I think there is a possibility we win so I`ll risk the 200 I just won.

UW hasn't given up more than 35 since 2014. Good luck with that.
 
UW led the PAC 12 in TOP last year. I think this game plays out a lot like the Natty last year with the Eags winning 35-31 if they win the turnover battle and losing 24-31 if they do not. So, im taking the spread and the over as well.

IMO if it is not a 50 point game for both teams we lose. A shootout will be to our advantage. My biggest concern is our receivers ability to catch the ball. Dropped third down ball is the same as a turnover, it is a drive stopper.

We have seen a lot of those, dropped balls, this fall practice by 2 deep receivers. Not use to seeing dropped balls on the Eags.

Well said, and certainly a fair point, but Eastern scored 7 passing TDs the last time at Husky Stadium and put 52 up. I definitely think this is a better UW team than Eastern faced the last two times out, though. Two Eastern guys are coaching the defense, so you know that'll be the best D in the Pac-12 again.

The thing that has cost Eastern a chance at two wins in the games prior was turnovers. Eastern is -6 in turnovers in our two Husky Stadium games while losing by a combined 10 points. If Eastern can't keep turnovers to 1 or less, then we probably have no realistic shot. You can't keep giving ball-control teams like UW possessions because they just grind you into oblivion.
