    Arkansas hasn't won a conference game in nearly two years. That home field can't be worth anything. Give me the Hat

    Gotta admit I can't understand how a team that is 0-13 in conference with their current coach (and 2-19 over the past 3 years) is essentially a pick 'em against LSU. I know the game is in Arkansas and LSU isn't as dominant as past years, but they are still the better team.

    Also, FSU simply has too much talent for overmatched Miami. Can't say I understand that line either.

    Records means nothing, Arkansas should have 2 SEC wins this year but fate is a cruel mistress. Bama/A@M/Miss ST games they were a play or two away from winning. Arky is the play.

    7-2 ATS (4-1 at home)

    If you guys aren't beating up these cantor openers, you're missing out. It's like a sharpfest, it's better than when the Wynn was first to open, they take bigger bets.

    Oh ya, miss st falls next week. Says me and a bunch of other bettors (could be a sharp 'juke' at lower limits setting up state for a big play later in the week)

    not sure, sometimes they do that. Bama is just a more complete team. State's suspect D and lack of an adequate passing game are the difference.

    2 wins would still make the Hogs the bottom of the SEC West. Or the worst team. 2-6 or 0-8 is not a big difference in conference play. I can see Arky getting a few points, but no way should they be favored over a battle tested team like LSU

    I liked miami before the game but expected the line in double digits at least. Miami has been improving every week though, gonna be a good ACC game. Miami has the last shot to take FSU out.

    Point isn't so much their conference record but they have played competitively even in losses. SEC west the toughest division in football this year and basically every year. I think hogs will roll especially after LSU coming outta that Bama game. Either way we don't see this the same so I'll be rooting against ya on Saturday.


    I was thinking around 5 or so here but you may be right sneaker, this could be FSU's week to go down.

    JUMP on Duke at that line. VT pulls out weird wins when you don't expect it, but the odds will say they'll still be shitty under-performing VTech.

    That might be true for out of conference games but I am looking purely at their respective conference records, which most certainly do not "mean nothing."

    Well if you want to play that game, then LSU is 2 plays away from being 9-1 and the #2 team in the nation.

    I'll need more info before I make my pick; need to find out where Jameis' money is being bet then I'll make my decision.

    Only one of those I would call "weird" is FSU. I expected Bama close to -7, LSU and Auburn both saw their seasons basically end last week so some "demoralization" (especially LSU) is built into those lines and none of the rest are nonsensical.

    Two ways to play you take all the good teams at the low number or take all the secondary teams

    Briguy you got it all figured out man, I see no way Arkansas wins that game thanks. Oddsmakers way off here, hogs are terrible.

    LSU will win.
    Auburn will win.
    Wisconsin will cover.

    I just cannot believe that Miami will be the team to beat the Seminoles...

    A lot of really weird lines right now though. Couple of these might be must-bets.

    My contribution for the night!
    Clemson is getting back QB Watson, there starting center Guillermo, and a starting receiver Peake for there game against Georgia Tech.
    As of right now this game stands out to me more so than any other.

    Good luck to all of you in Week #11

    The odds makers should really be in charge of the playoffs.

    The Seminoles have played a lot of games where a few bounces here, or a different call there, would have altered the outcome. They really aren't that far away from being a team with multiple losses. To their credit, they found a way to win those games, but that doesn't mean Vegas is going to overvalue them on a weekly basis. The books see the teams for what they are, and not their shiny public perception or lofty rankings in the polls.

    That being said, I though FSU would still be favored a bit more... about 7 points.

    But given some of the struggles the Noles have had, combined with an improving Canes squad with a gutsy and talented freshman quarterback, and an extra week to prepare, and I don't think it's shocking that this game opened at such a small number.
