The North Dakota State Bison come into the FBS ranks with plenty of confidence, as the program went 9-4 against FBS opponents - including several wins against power conference teams - during its time in the FCS. They've been absolutely dominant at home, even against solid competition, going 38-2 in FCS playoff games. Arguably, this first game isn't even a step up in competition. While the Jacksonville State Gamecocks have been highly successful in Conference USA play, some power rankings (such as Sagarin) have rated that league below the Missouri Valley Conference - where NDSU played in FCS - in the last couple seasons.

Jacksonville State lost the nation's leading rusher, Cam Cook, and now plays a North Dakota State team making its FBS debut. As an FCS program, the Bison beat plenty of FBS teams, including several P4 programs. With multiple starters back on the O-line and D-line, NDSU should bully its way to a victory at the Fargo Dome.

Along with taking North Dakota State to cover, I'm also backing the Under in this season opener. The Bison are bringing back a number of key starters on defense, including safeties Jaylin Crumby and Darius Givance. That'll help prevent any unexpected variety from a relatively one-dimensional Gamecocks offense, which lost running back Cam Cook - who led all FBS backs with 1,659 rushing yards last year - to West Virginia in the offseason. The Bison lost both quarterback Cole Payton and receiver Bryce Lance to the NFL Draft. Meanwhile, Jacksonville State forces a lot of turnovers, getting 24 takeaways for the second year in a row in 2025. The lack of offensive continuity will limit the scoring on both sides, making the Under an excellent SGP pick.
