It's going to be a close low scoring game that is basically a pick um?

What do you mean what is going on?

What's going on is the book trying to balance both sides. The same thing that's always going on.

Which was a ridiculous number based on all the metrics and was immediately beat down.

If Alabama opened at -7.5, that means a lot of money has come in on the A&M side and they are trying to shift it.

I mean Bama should be able to own Minimum Johnson. All you have to do is blitz him and he folds like a house of cards under a 45 pound dumbbell

Money is coming in on A&M. Vegas adjusting to make sure they kill it either way.

just need to run. There is not a spy in existence that's gonna keep up with him. Spread out the receivers, have the rb lead block, and let milroe get some speed going. They squeeze in to stop that the wrs should be so open even milroe can hit them. And most importantly, throw the ball away if it's a bad play

People realized Milroe was our QB, I'd guess.

It means the betting public started putting way more $$$ on A&M so they keep adjusting the spread down so that they have their traditional 50/50 allocation so that they always make the house rake and never lose money.

Note that works great for small bets but a whale like Mattress Mack can always come in and jump on a line and make the house lose money regardless if the outcome goes his way.

Listening to the talking heads on radio and tv, A&M should be favored. I haven’t heard one person pick Bama in this game.

Simply put, Vegas doesn't believe in Bamas offense at this
Point.

I can’t remember the last time I heard so many talking heads picking someone to beat Bama. Yeah a lot said Texas would win but the majority still said Bama. I’ve seen almost everyone say A&M will win
