Vegas Play of the Day: North Dakota State at Montana

We've reset the Play of the Day with fresh bankrolls and turned it into a yearly competition. Our three sports writers have restarted with $10,000 bankrolls to continue using on odds from the South Point.

North Dakota State minus-14.5 at Montana: $330 to win $300

College football season is here, and it kicks off this afternoon on ESPN with a matchup between the No. 1 and No. 13 ranked teams in Division I-AA.

North Dakota State has won the last four national championships while Montana is breaking in new coach Bob Stitt, who spent the last 15 years at Division II Colorado School of Mines. Still, the Grizzlies could win the Big Sky Conference and NDSU’s defense isn’t as loaded as it has been during this run, so the Bison could be a little vulnerable.

While I don’t like laying that much on the road, ultimately I just don’t want to step in front of the Bison train right now. They rarely play close games, so I’m hoping that if they don’t cover they at least have the decency to lose outright since as a fan I despise them.

Current Standings (as of July 1): Brewer (11-8, $10,740), Bern (6-7, $9,950), Keefer (7-14, $6,261)

Lifetime Records: 2014-15 champion Bern (89-81-1), Keefer (91-97-2), Brewer (81-95-2)
