Florida at best should be a 3 point favorite but 6 points suggest a Florida cover which means a big Florida victory. The line makes me very nervous.

we should be nervous...Florida is a stellar team....and we have not faced a strong team yet this year, so we don't really know how good we are....

The line has absolutely nothing to do with what the outcome will be on the field. The line is there to move money. It will change again by gametime.

I put no faith in their line. They only thing they are concerned with is money...they don't research anything other than big spenders putting money on FLorida.

Not at all... I like our chances. I put little interest into what Vegas predicts. In fact I am thinking about betting that game. 6 points is a sizable amount, and I think our team is quite underrated.

You would understand more if you knew more about gambling on games.

Anyone know a reliable/safe site where you can place college football bets?

Well I'm terrified since the guys in Vegas that make the line play the game as well!

What does the line have anything to do with the actual game?

Yes. To the original poster. It says that guys who look at this stuff for a living think the mean of the bell curve is such that Florida should beat LSU by 6 on Saturday. That is troubling.

I'd feel better if someone emailed Ricky and Tyson and Charles Scott and made sure they understood that Vegas thinks they are a shittier team than Ole Miss. I would not want to play a team with those three with a lil extra fire in their belly.

THE LINE SPREAD IS A F#CKING INSULT TO EVERY PLAYER ON THE LSU FOOTBALL TEAM AND IT'S HIGH TIME THE GET A BIG arse CHIP ON THEIR SHOULDER.

i'm pretty sure you get 6 points for it being in the swamp. if it were on a neutral site, i think it would be a pick 'em

LSU is a lock +6 points...easiest $$ to be made all year. Look at every expert'e pick on the game...either a Tiger victory or a 3 point loss.

...of course I think LSU wins 27-17
