#8 being the heavy favorite over #25/unranked is shocking?

Good, Vegas makes its money off people getting it wrong. General public is stupid so that works to our favor if thats where the money is being laid down!

I agree it's shocking.

I wouldn't put money on this game. It's too close to call IMO.

I do think LSU will win, but I think it'll be a close game.

I don’t know if those percentages are correct, but they aren’t telling the story you think they are.

Good. Keep it up and maybe I can get +3.5 by kickoff.

If 55% of the bets and 82% of the total money is actually on Miami and the line hasn't moved, then that makes me think Vegas believes LSU will win. You would think with that much of a Miami lean, the line would have moved considerably by now, but I feel like it's been stagnant as -3 since it opened. My guess is that those numbers aren't accurate.

If he is saying what he is implying then 55% are betting on Miami -2.5 ATS.

82% of the money being wagered is being put on the Miami side of the line.

Smart money usually comes in late. It sounds like the early bets from these stats if correct are being laid down on Miami.

As it stands now though sportsbooks stands to win more - like I said - if LSU wins this game or even just wins ATS.

I doubt those % are correct, otherwise you would have seen the line move higher in miami's direction. It has held steady.

That actually favors LSU. If 82% of money is on LSU but line went from +3.5 to +3, smart money on LSU.
