Guess Vegas hasn't read the rant.

Lines out for:
@Florida (LSU -3.5)
Auburn (LSU -5)
@BAMA (Bama -13.5)
@Tenn (LSU -6.5)
A&M (LSU -12.5

I don't see lines for Ole Miss & Ark, but I assume LSU would be favored in those as well.



That's not how spreads work.

For example, LSU being the favorite by 3.5 over Florida means that the book thinks LSU has a 60.63% chance of winning that game.

Percent chance of winning the other games based on the spreads:
Auburn - 64.14%
Alabama - 16.5%
Tennessee - 67.71%
A&M - 82.56%

Add those % together and you'll see that the current spreads indicate Vegas thinks we will win 2.92 out of those 5 games--they think we'll go 3-2.

Convert spread to %

Why not have a TD poll where posters can pick what they think the record will be at the end of the season.

They aren't posting lines to say who wins.
