SC State over Furman - 52% (20-19 avg. score)
Coastal over BCU - 58% (33-31)
UNH over Lafayette - 94% (35-19)
SHSU over Suutah - 88% (30-17)
SDSU over NAU - 62% (24-21)
Samford over Jax St. - 56% (29-28)
Fordham over SHU - 94% (36-22)
TSU over Butler - 86% (28-20)
I'm surprised to see SCSU/Furman that close, since recent trends don't seem to be given extra weight by this site. That would also explain why SHSU/SUU is that lopsided. I also figure Fordham/Sacred Heart will be much uglier than the expected average. The computers are likely underestimating NAU's home-field advantage, as well.
