As someone who doesn’t pay attention to stuff like this, is there a points factor assumed for the game being played at WaGriz? I would assume there to be, but again, wouldn’t know.

Generally for a place like WaGriz they’d give at least 7 points for home field, implying a neutral field line would be at 10.5 points. I’m not a big gambler though, so others can correct me if I’m wrong.
 
The higher ranked team is a home dog? Don't see that very often.

Implied score is 30-26.5.

I'm not trying to force a sort of "nobody believes in us" narrative here, but it's hard not to when it still seems like the FCS world doesn't think we're legit, which honestly is fine with me.

If we win this weekend, no one will be able to deny it anymore.

The poll voters have the Griz ranked higher, so someone believes in them. Just not the oddsmakers.

Right, but for some reason a lot of those voters have said they think we're going to lose this weekend in write-ups, tweets and prognostications.

Which we definitely might! I just get the sentiment that many of them voted us ahead because of our record, but still think the cats are the better team (more power to them, though).

Has ZERO to do with who they think will win the game. They establish the line so that 50% of the money goes to either side of it. That's why the line moves when the money is uneven.

Exactly why I am zero surprised with the initial line.
