Vegas likes Alabama and they usually have high spreads in their games. I'd expect it to be around 9.5 when game rolls around

9.5? No way, line will go down to about 5 @ game time. Bama doesn't have the same juice it used to especially after LSU and A&M.

WVU was a 12.5 point dog in the 06 Sugar Bowl 38-35 couchburners...just sayin.

in the 05 SECCG, we were 12 point dogs against LSU
34-14 good guys

Spread sounds about right to me. We have a chance but, I think because of coaching, we only win this game 3-10 times its played. Of course, we only need 1.

WTF does the '06 Sugar Bowl have to do with anything? Dawgs are 8-4 vs spread THIS YEAR btw. 4-0 vs spread vs their last 4 FBS teams.FWIW.

Was simply to illustrate that Vegas has made significant miscalculations in the past and that no one should get too bent out of shape about the spread. Didnt have anything to do with any game or any spread in particular. Just to take the spread with a grain of salt and move on.

Yes at times, they can miscalculate in the worst way, other times, spot on. If you are into gambling "trends" the Dawgs are trending pretty well for this Saturday.

Everyone loves an underdog. I'd put it at Bama -4.

It'll be interesting to see how it develops. I'd guess you'll see alot of money flow Bama's way because of their track record,Saban, etc. It wouldn't surprise me if it stays pretty high.

My guess is UGA isn't going to get alot of respect up to kickoff. Which is fine...disrespect will get them fired up even more.

Who care's what the line is. If we can stop their running game...we will win this game. I'm so ready to see Corn have his break out game. Because our D-line will be key to us pulling the upset. I agree with what rambo said about this game will come down to has the better defense. I hope Rambo will back his words up about us having more talent at every position. Anyway's I think we are destiney's darlings and we beat bama 21-17

I was guessing it'd be a touchdown or so. I'm sure it'll go higher before game time.

If our o-line can protect Murray and we can establish a balanced attack, I think we can pull it out. Our defense has finally gelled, and our offensive playmakers have been...making plays.

Understand that the purpose of the line is to get an equal amount of money on each side of the bet and go from there.

UGA at +14 against Tech meant nothing. It was just the number that the bookies felt would create a betting equilibrium.

Find out who Chef is betting the house on and then bet it all the other way.

Murray doesn't have to be great in this game for us to win. He just needs to play mistake free football. My Gawd I really cant believe we are one win away from the BCSCG...If we lose i will be devastated...But if we win...I will be on top of the world...Just like last years SECCG...we need to jump on bama...but this time we need to keep the foot on the gas pedal

If we start off with Murray making a bunch of wild overthrows and locking down on double or triple-covered receivers, beware....

How original that you would try and explain something your own dumb arse doesn't understand

Games are initially handicapped using myriad factors. Home field, injuries, road/home records,playing conditions,sos, public sentiment at times, etc etc. Its not some arbitrary number solely intended to draw action from both sides

Once theyre set and released, then theyre moved until they settle to draw dollars from both sides.

But stick with your corny arse "bet the house" joke. Far be it for you and a few others on here to ride a lame attempt at humor into the ground. betting the house against me will cost you money in the long run. a lot of it

And in your infinite wisdom you think you are better at determining spreads than the guys that do it for a living using a "myriad" of high tech statistical computer models.

That is called delusion, dude. But just for the sake of it, who ya betting the house on this week?
