What to Know
The Fordham Rams will hit the road to start this year's campaign against the Bowling Green Falcons. Kickoff is scheduled at 7:00 p.m. ET on Thursday at Doyt L. Perry Stadium.
One of the more interesting stats to watch in this game could be passing yards, as these two produced some pretty different results last year. Fordham finished last season ranked 23rd in the nation, having averaged 259.1 per game. Bowling Green, on the other hand, didn't do so hot: they were ranked 106th with 170 per game.
Looking back to last season, Fordham finished on the right side of .500 (6-5), and they're hoping to kick off an even more successful campaign this year. Similarly, Bowling Green also assembled a winning record last year, finishing the season 7-5.
Fordham is hoping to beat the odds on Thursday, as the experts think they're headed for a loss.
The disadvantage in the odds might be especially worrying for Fordham considering the team was a sub-par 1-3 as the underdog last season. Betting on them to win was the most profitable play last year, as bettors who put $100 on that outcome in every game walked away with $603.06. Bowling Green will open their season as the favorite, and the team was 5-0 as such last season.
