Not too early > LSU @ BAMA : Opening Line??

[suicidekings]

Alabama -5.5

Followed by a million people on here talking about value and "taking the points", and saying "No WAY LSU loses by more than 3", resulting in an LSU frenzy that will deflate the line temporarily, to be followed by Alabama money coming in throughout the week, driving the line back up to near where it opens for gameday, along with a lot of Alabama ML action from those scared to lay the points.

Then on gameday, the Tide will win by 10+ making the whole exercise pointless. LSU enjoys a pretty big divide between them and most of their competition, however Alabama is several steps above LSU here...

Texas A&M
Oklahoma -7.5
LSU
Alabama -9
No way should the line be this high
South Carolina
Arkansas -4

No, -9 is exactly where it should be if you only consider the two teams and not the other factors related to the market itself.

Ah. Apologies.

[The Seer]

BTW in case you are wondering what all the other Games of the year are currently, here they are, and YES you can bet on them currently as they have been adjusted week to week. They may take them down at the beginning of the week and put them back up after the games that week are played but if you click on the line you can see how they have been moved from week to week. Not every book has them but they are out there.

[Zuus]

anyone else just think this is a no play?

these are juggernaut teams, equally matched. Might be a good game just to pass on and look elsewhere.

[kickenchicken]

i think bama has a better offense and they are at home

[ZBOIZ]

Bama has a better offense ?!?!?!?!?!?

Are you serious ?!??!?

[Stompin_Tom]

Best play is to not bet it at all and just enjoy watching a great football game loaded with amazing talent.

[grizzlies1]

Stanford currently -1.5 at home to Oregon!? Bearing in mind that I don't live in Vegas (or even in the USA) is there anywhere I can bet this? It might be time to remortgage the house! Stanford by 10+

I'll take Oregon...could I get +3???

[grizzlies1]

If you gave me Stanford -3 @ +100 I'd take it.

[LT Profits]

Bama best team in the country. Can beat anyone by 2 TDs except Wiscy. Only beat them by 1 TD.

Wiscy is NOT better than LSU (at full strength without the current suspensions). LSU and Bama are clearly the two best teams and this game will be the National Championship. IF the LSU suspensions are lifted before this game, I think line opens Alabama -3.5

Actually, that is exactly why LSU at +3.5 or more is a great play.

[ZBOIZ]

LT I personally know some of the players at LSU and one player told me this is just a 1 game suspension.

[SBR_John]

If you gave me Stanford -3 @ +100 I'd take it.

OK. I'll give you Stanford -3 +100. Now the only problem is how will you transfer your stake if you are a non Pro?

[stevenash]

Bama minus 4.5
Game is a stone cold pick on a neutral field, give Bam 4.5 home field points.

LSU at Alabama
Sat 11/5 10853 LSU +4½ -110 +160
8:00PM 10854 Alabama -4½ -110 -185

[AZ*SUN*iBET4FUN]

Lsu +6 cash it!!!! Im on lsu all day!!!!!

[AZ*SUN*iBET4FUN]

OK. I'll give you Stanford -3 +100. Now the only problem is how will you transfer your stake if you are a non Pro?

Ill take Stanford -3 +100 !!!!

[AZ*SUN*iBET4FUN]

Its only 1 game suspension and LSU will mop the Tide.. LSU wins by 10+

[stevenash]
