The odds makers don't play games with this stuff. I think this says that they saw LSU's offensive potential (minus rain, penalties) and VT's overrated D. Like you - I wouldn't bet on this game with such a wide spread - hell, App State/Michigan ---- nuff said. But I'm diggin' the fact that we're getting some respect. ________________ lsutigerbait.blogspot.com

Even betting for them can backfire cause if you take LSU with points (In any given game) and we win but don't cover, it's bittersweet. I never bet on LSU and only include them in our Pic 'em cause it's head up.......no point spread.
Until it's time to cash in! Seriously though, it's amazing how they pinpoint the point differential on these games, especially as the season wears on.
oddsmakers dont set the line as a prediction of the score. they put it where they think the public and smarts will even it out.
Well, I'm not a professional gambler, so I'll take your word on that. But I can't imagine that they're not setting the spread close to where they think the score will break. Otherwise, what's the point? For them, I mean.
