Interesting Week 2 Lines

[whaler11]

You've got a BCS team getting 5.5 at home from a MAC Team - Kansas/Northern Ill.
The 'defending' champs getting 6 from Mississippi St at home.
TCU only laying 2.5 to the Air Force
Mighty BCU is getting 6.5 from a CUSA team
A CUSA team getting 14 at home from a Sun Belt team - Ark St/Memphis
A Big East team at home is only laying 4 to a Sun Belt team - 'Ville/FIU
A CUSA team is favored over a Big Ten team - Rice over Purdue by 1.5

A Big East is also favored in an SEC stadium - UConn is -1.

I am shocked that Rice is favored, even though I think they'll win (Purdue is awful on the road).

Mississipp State-Auburn is interesting. I have no idea what will happen there. I have a feeling that one team will blow out the other for some reason.

Some of those don't sound too off. Auburn squeaked out a W last week against Utah St. while Miss St. handled business. 6 is a lot though.
The TCU line might be an over reaction to last weeks game, but I admittedly know very little about Air force. Same thing with 'Ville.
I know nothing about Ark St./Memphis.
Purdue eeked by Middle Tennessee St., but it's not like Rice is a powerhouse, that's weird.

Ville/FIU is one of those lines that surprises me so much that I refuse to bet it. I'm obviously missing something - likely the talent FIU has.

Betus.com currently has UConn listed at +2.5. I know I see through blue tinted glasses, but come on!

It's pretty much Vandy -2 everywhere now. Over/Under is only 44.

I like the under, but not going to bet it because I would hate to be dreading UConn points for any reason...
