re: Why is the Auburn line so low?

Bettors must be betting the other side or Vegas wouldn't keep making AU's lines so low,

Agree with *Aman* above. Betting lines are 25% reality (experts' best guesses on the teams' quality), and 75% perception (Vegas moves the lines to increase betting on both sides).

Vegas doesn't care about picking winners. That's why they tolerate idiots like Danny Sheridan and Mel Kiper. They just need there to be A LOT of betting on both sides, and they make their money on the vig.

They constantly adjust the lines to achieve that result.
