Put me down for Oklahoma. I think 3 points is a gift.

Hmmm, are the bookies trying to tell us something with the LSU/GA line, I thought it would have at least been a 15-18 point spread.

J, I think it's probably because it's being played in the Georgia Dome, not that it helped Georgia any against Boise.

Look for that to move off the opening line. I'll venture they are reasoning LSU to take the foot off the gas, not risking their 2 deep any more than they must,--but LSU -10 would've been a great pick. Home field (state in this case) only accounts for a point or two.

Yeah, those oil rich cajuns should drive the line up on this one, it just looks pretty low to me but I learned some years back, never try to outguess the bookies, they are very good at what they do.

Without getting too detailed, sometimes they'll open up with a "soft line" to get money flowing, then as you alluded, money drives the move. Also along the same line, is regional differences in the spread, in what is called the spot (local) line. So the line in Georgia may be several points off the line in Louisiana. The spots lines, AND your friendly neighborhood bookie are being replaced nowadays, by the internet.

I can't see anyway Georgia holds LSU to under 50. LSU def. will hold Georgia to 17 or less. Murray is a great passer but: You Can Not Throw From Your Backside! RTR!
