This has nothing to do with who's better and everything to do with Vegas making money off of betting. Lines move up and down based off of which team people are betting on. If you think the line is skewed, put everything on Bama.


A lot of people have a hard time understanding this. It’s all about soliciting the most bets.

I think most people understand this just fine, but if a team opens as the favorite, it's because Vegas thinks the betting dollars are leaning that way. So, most people (or at least most dollars) think UGA will win.
