No, not surprising. It's at LSU, in college football vegas tends to stick with preseason rankings and LSU was ranked higher preseason and it's in Baton Rouge.
Yes in principle he is, but it isn't the steadfast law. My point is they can't lay a number without a prediction of how many pts one team is better than another. Geez you know this Fred, don't be difficult.
I just feel like our offense is lighting in a bottle... It's just waiting to explode and I think it might be this week vs. South Carolina. I feel good about this season we just need someone to step up.. I think losing the honey badger may have hurt us more than what most people might have though. This team is soo talented...
i like the optimism because im that type of person, but the chances are slim that Miles really makes the changes necessary.
I'm glad that you agree that the spread's main purpose is to drive the betting. I didn't suggest that books don't pick winners or don't care about them. I'm just saying that they can still make money on a loss if the spread is right. They care about that point spread, not the game winner.
Don't go off trying to claim another victory amigo, you slick rascal. They are greedy just like everyone else, they don't care about juice and only juice, they want to win as much as they can. If all they cared about was "vigorish" for you old goats, they would all be out of business by now.
Yes there is a baseline for each team. Like a power rating. Then it's adjusted. I think that's what you are getting at. so it's basically a prediction; just not really. This is why it's hard to explain.
Believe me I have seen stranger things in college football. Just look at the 2007 team who lost two game in OT.. Everyone thought after that Arkansas game we were out of it. I get where you are coming from and it is hard to ignore the way we have been playing the last couple of weeks.
