Did you see the first half of the SECCG? I'm supprised it isn't more than that.

I saw both halves and I didn't see Alabama in either one of them.

LOL Good point , Bma will put that pressure on for 60 Minutes. I will say Bama will not need to kicj a FG this time . LSU will need to score more than 3 TD's in ths game to win . Bama will be favored by 7 before the game Vegas

So when Bama was a favorite at home by 2.5 or whatever it ended up being, that meant Vegas thought LSU was better and was correct?
interesting

Go rewatch all the carries of TR in that game...he was totally held in check

Hopefully with Bama tears in the background!

Colin Cowherd just said Bama was 2 1/2 pt favorite.

LSU is favored by 2 1/2. But idiots will respond to the OP as if it is correct.

A betting line is designed to induce betting. Its not Vegas' literal idea of how the game will be played out.
Its Vegas' idea of what will make you bet your money on one team or the other.
According to Feldman on Twitter this morning, 75% of the early money is coming in worldwide on LSU at this point. But unless you see a huge early move in the line this early money is from non-wise guys.
The "Sharps" as Colin calls them always move late after all the public's money has moved the line one way or the other. They never beat early because injuries happen & they already have a great idea about what they think of the game & the line, so an early line means nothing to them.
The early lines are nothing more than a way to get you emotional enough to put your money where your mouth is for Vegas. That's it.
People who have not grasped this fact about betting are typically people who do not bet on sports.

did you forget about how well he played against Arkansas?
Come on, Apex. You should know by now that it doesn't matter how well Jefferson plays in one game, it's how bad he looks in another game that's important.
