Kurt, you are so right. The Gators need TN to get beaten to have a chance to go to the SEC Championship. That and winning the rest of our conference games.

Tulane vs SMU -- so epic! Pass the Scotch!

OMG...I was thinking about staying on the bus!!!!

I'm going to wait until Thursday to start smack talking.

Saving up are you?

Hee Hee. Not me. ;-)

That's my Darlene!

WTF. When is the weekend going to be here?

Can you survive another weekend of college football?

Yes. Pledging sobriety until 4PM on Saturday. So I should be ok.;-) And NO jaeger bombs.

And your point?

The line on a game has nothing to do with who oddsmakers think will win. It's all about money and which way it goes.

Oddsmakers automatically award a team three points for playing at home. So if UA and UT were playing on a neutral field, UT would be a 2-point favorite.

It not only has something to do with the spread, but when someone bets on a certain team, they are betting on them obviously because that is who they think will win. Makes sense to me, that is my point.

I wish I could pledge sobriety until 4pm on Saturday, but we play THAT team at 11:34. FTLOG I have to start at 11:00, (well....it will be 12:00 somewhere) and be tanked probably by 4pm....I HATE these early games. Two weeks in a row.

Good question.

Where do I start?:angry:

At the top.

Oh dear Lord- did you go home with a Kentucky fan?

:funn:

If you are talking hardcore fans of a given school, you are correct. But from a professional gambling standpoint, you are incorrect.

In any given game, someone with no ties to either school looks at the game objectively. They may think team A will actually win the game. Said team A is a 10-point favorite. They don't feel the team is good enough to win by THAT much, so they actually bet on team B.

So more times than not, it's NOT about who a bettor thinks will win straight up.

Class dismissed.
