The opening lines are available at the Wynn, and other Vegas shops. Here are a few interesting lines:
Va. Tech -14 vs Tulsa in the Independence Bowl and Arkansas -13 over Kansas State in the Liberty Bowl are the two biggest spreads. Independence and Liberty. Perfect for an election year.
There are 10 Pac 12 teams playing in games. Oregon and TCU are a pick. The other 9 Pac 12 teams are all favored.
Florida is the only SEC team that is a dog. +4 vs Michigan.
14 games have a line of 3 or less, and two more have lines of 3 1/2.
They may as well rename the Royal Purple Bowl the Mormon Bowl. BYU vs Utah.
If Baylor can find a healthy QB, will the Total be over 80? 90? They play North Carolina.
Kansas State is a shitty football team. If they played Arkansas this week it would be a 4 TD beat down. But, with so much time between the games, who the hell knows what/where these teams will be. Kids thinking about the NFL, other kids looking to transfer, coaches moving. It's a damn crapshoot trying to figure out who's focused and who's not. You have to give the coaching edge to Snyder. His last game will be huge, while Big Bert is more concerned what's on the menu.
Historically, the Pac12 plays lessor opponents which means they are usually favored in most matches. While the B10 is usually playing up against better competition. So the Pac12 goes 6 - 2 and the B10 goes 3-5 and the narrative is that the B10 sucks while the Pac12 is great.
