The public is hammering Tennessee and dropping the line. Always fade the public.

Not really...line has been pretty stable since late Sunday.

Once again, there's a difference between what the "public" is doing and where the real money is going.

Because it would be moronic based on where the line started at 2 TDs. You could double dip and they’d be out even more if UGA won by 7-10ish.



It started between 8 and 9 buddy.

Line has dropped 4 points. Anything more than that is silly.

Draftkings is at 7.5, a 5 point drop since opening. Are UGA fans still feeling it? I suspect it will go to 5.5 at the lowest.

Your own link shows several books starting at 9 and dropping to 8. A full point drop is substantial but Vegas doesn't have to drop the line to sway the public in the era of intertubez and social media. When they release info like this and publicize it that is with the intent is to sway bettors to UGA the same as a line drop.

Georgia will win unless the victory goes to the better team. Tennessee is a solid touchdown better. The sucker bet is based on betting the history, not this year.

There's zero chance of that happening.

Same thing with the LSU and Bama lines. Maybe Vegas will be right this time.

Still at 7.5 with the over at 65. Today is the day for big money right?

The line has dropped from +12 to +8.

87% of the money is on Tennessee at Caesars.

Given they're the best handicappers on earth - Tennessee loses by 10 or more.


The built in expectation is that UGA will be -1 in turnovers (given that UT is +1 per game on the season and UGA is even in turnover margin).

The reality is the final score will be based on turnover margin.

If UGA is in the positive in turnover margin, UGA wins very big.

If UGA is even... UGA wins by 14-21.
If UGA is -1... UGA wins by 3-14
If UGA is -2... the game is mostly a toss up.
If UGA is -3... UT wins by 7-14.
More than that, UT rolls.

Turnovers are UT's way to win. Otherwise it's UGA.

Lines, yes.

Making money off of betting trends, no.

Last week favorites went 20-26 against the spread. The side with the highest percent of bets went 22-24. The side with the highest percent of money went 22-24. Vegas lives off those margins.
