It means the oddsmakers believe that with the line at LSU -12.5, half of the nation's money will be put on LSU, and the other half on Arkansas.


Honestly think it will settle closer to 10. Didn't it open at 14?

Yes and it's 13 or 12.5 now, which is about right.

I don't see it moving 2.5 points in the next 24 hours. Either way, I was merely pointing out that the pointspread is not the oddsmakers' prediction of how much we will win by, but rather the oddsmakers' prediction/anticipation/reaction regarding how much the betting public thinks we will win by.
