re: Early line for bama??

According to the ODDSMAKER formula...

Alabama has a Rating (R) of -11
LSU has a Rating (R) of -4

Since this is a home game for LSU, LSU's current Home Field Vantage (HFV) is 3

You take -11 (Alabama's R) and subtract from -4 (LSU's R) to get 7 (Neutral Field Line)

You take 7 (Neutral Field Line) and subtract from 3 (LSU's HFV) to get 4

Right now Bama would be a -4 favorite
