who in gods name were you talking to? lsu has been pretty notorious for not covering like a motherfricker when favored.

Wow so the first Vegas lines have us losing 3 games.

You are missing the point. Professionals love this day because there is a lot of value in early season lines. Many pros will bet on a number of games in September before Vegas has figured out teams. I know I will bet on LSU in the Oregon and Moo St game where they are basically pick em games. I won't bet on the Bama game because there is way to much time between now and November.

Some lines that have already moved:
Boise @ UGA. Was -6 now -1.5
Michigan @ ND. Was -3 now +2

They bet on LSU as a road dog, off a loss, and in bowl games..They bet against LSU as home chalk, home chalk vs SEC West foes not named MSU, and in reg season OOC games..yes..LSU and SEC games one way or the other are heavy action games.

That list he gave you makes no sense, without situational and season circumstances. It is totally arbitrary at best, depending upon which wiseguys, crews, and sharpies he knows.

Of the "bet on list", only NW would be a habitual dog offering value, thus a wiseguy magnet, especially in the Barnett era. When NW was an absolute ATS covering machine, they were a sharpie favorite and Computer Group regular play.

Fellow Chicagoland alumni team ND, usually heavy chalk until recent era, and usually an auto-play against ATS. Same slightly goes for SEC teams LSU & UGA, and Tenn until very recent.

That "wiseguy" sounds a wannabe or a runner for a crew out with a shopping list, at best..the real operational brains(boss, cappers, clerks,etc..) are back in the office with a load of tvs, computers, and phones.

Most of the biggest wiseguys and crews have bigger fish to fry daily than shopping these low-limits numbers months in advance(as some lines will be stealing in value..yet some others a total bust/sucker bet by actual game week).

But, him out shopping some Nugget futures may make him a decent soloist/grinder, I applaud his hustle. Most industry giants let these numbers slide past without hustling to grab them vs the younger hustlers out there shopping.

The Golden Nugget limits on these futures are a dime(1K), and three bets max, before returning to the end of the betting line.

That game offers limited major value at +1, depending on how LSU comes out the gates, it was probably going to be in that ballpark come gameday, and is largely a team that wins SU also covers the spread type tilt. Now has moved to LSU -3.

The one worth value, should LSU truly be what they project to possibly be, regardless of Bama with new QB being all that and a bag of chips, is the fat spread +9 at Bama, a major BCS title playoff tilt, revenge game for Tide, and Miles-Saban Part V(all four major tight tussles), it still available.

P.S. Fla plus the now +7.5 at LSU..awfully tempting.

If these lines are on bodog I'll bet the house on LSU over Oregon, LSU over Miss St, LSU over bama, and fla over LSU. All good bets to win IMO.
