I think G5 games played on saturdays have the "loosest lines" out there.

There are so many good games played on saturday and "who the hell wants to bet on a game played by 2 small schools that probably isnt on tv. And if its on tv, there will probably be no HD or the production is going to stink.

However when you lump G5 of these games on a saturday with a bunch of powerhouse P5 games, 1) there isnt much action on these games and 2) many lines will be WAY off

Just dont bet the Tuesday nite and WEdnesday nite MAC games or the friday nite espn game (of if u want to bet on them, just throw a dart and play for half a unit)

The group of 5 is forced to play a lot of "weeknight" games to get any exposure at all. It is hard to find a Power 5 team that does not have their games on Saturday televised by someone.

Never good to bet a nationally televised G5 weeknight unless you really like the game.

ESPN and CBS Sports will broadcast many AAC and Mountain West games

Many may be a stretch, but they do broadcast some of the games, though normally a Power 5 team will be involved in the game, like Arizona @ Houston

Actually every UCF game is usually televised (other than when they are playing 1aa teams).

Usually for AAC games.

ESPN News usually shows a game at noon and 7 or 730
CBS Sports usually shows a game at 330 and 7

The other games are usually played on a Thursday or Friday

I actually enjoying watching my team play on a weeknight as it gives the school some national exposure.

Plus it frees up my Saturdays!!

I love those week night games myself.

I remember when they just had a Thursday night MAC game.

Busy weeknights.

Should be fun

Anyone able to easily gather and post how the Dogs did last year on those weeknight games?

Seems blindly playing Dogs was the way to go.

Are those ESPN and CBS Sports games regionally televised? If so, very few people actually watch them because they are out of their region.

Good question and not sure. I guess you get AAC games on saturdays like i get Mountain West games on Saturday.

I know i usually get a 1030 est MWC game on tv which i usually dont care about

You can usually get a few games on the ESPN App (all the ESPN 3 channels)

ESPN3/ESPN Plus has the MAC games.
