OU the only real value here and yeah...you should take the ML instead.
Why can't the line be adjusted for the underdogs? Those who wanted the underdogs are getting the short end of the stick.

If they did what you are suggesting, wouldn't everyone just scalp out the same game risk free?
Pretty sure they offer these because John likes a side and is looking to gamble as, obviously, they can't offer overlays on both sides of the same game...

SOONERS to the quick 7-0 lead.........
TEXAS defense is not TOP 20 material.......and their offense may be worse.

You're right. Didn't think of that. Probably could make it so you could only take one side and not middle it, or make the juice a little better for the underdog. Nice to have these though...not bitching, just suggesting.

After looking at the teams records, ranking of NC State, and the fact that they are playing at NC State...I am having a hard time figuring out why Virginia Tech was the favorite.
After noticing all that at first I though the line at SBR was a mistake...but I guess not.
Can somebody explain why the 4-0 ranked team at home was a 3.5 point underdog?

Why would you bet that? These specials are meant to be one-sided.

Major reverse line movement on the ISU game and New Mexico State ranks dead last in every defensive category.

Only because they're SBR points
Also I believed Colorado would cover the 3.5 (so far I'm right, it's 24-22 Bulldogs in the 3rd).
