This. Vegas really doesn't give a shite who wins, they just want equal money more or less bet on each side. They try to set the spread where they think they can get that equilibrium, which results in a larger amount being bet by bettors.

They do have to have some knowledge to get the initial line close, then adjust it as the money coming in dictates.

I would suggest you bet your house on the game but you probably live with your mother.

The line is 7 for a reason. I'm an Arkansas fan fully expecting an arse kicking but this looks like a trap game.

People talk about it being a trap game, but it does not fit that mold. AU is not looking ahead to TN, they are not coming off an emotional win last week (FIU)and ARK has been outscored by over 100 points the last two games. The only advantage Ark has they are coming off a bye week.

Thank you, and they could be coming off of 3 bye weeks and it isn't going to help them tonight. This is not a trap game at all.

Is it any different when the opposing fans say the opposite. You can only go off the interviews the players give and each one of them say they are only looking to the Arky game. Why would Tenn be a game to overlook Arky for?

Why would AU be pointing toward a 4-4 TN ? I do not think AU has a player from TN ?

Oh I don't think it is. I just love when fans act like the know the psyche of the team in general and state it as fact.

It's not just that specific poster but all of us. I'm guilty of it at times as well.

I know we all are guilty of it. You hope that what they say in interviews is true. Truly all you can say is I HOPE they are focused on (insert team).

There's no way they are looking ahead after going 3-9 last season. It's not like they have blown out any sec team yet.

When I say trap game I don't mean there is some sort of profile it fits. I mean the opposite. There's no reason to think auburn won't win by 4 touchdowns and they're a 7.5 point favorite.

This game would probably have been different if Ark's backup hadn't come in throwing picks in the redzone and then fumbling it on the next drive to setup Auburn on Ark's 30. Auburn ain't shite.

Lol you're a fool. I wouldn't touch this game. This is Bert's Super Bowl and he has had a bye week to prepare.
