Am I missing something? It opened at 4.5 and moved to below a FG.

Take the money and run.

Two things happened. UCLA smoked Hawaii and Hurricane Ida happened. The former created false confidence and the latter could potentially have a big impact. That team that scraped by Arizona St in 2005 was a lot better than the Sun Devils.

I meant to put Sun Devils but had Sparky in my head. Not sure how I ended up typing Spartans.

It will be even closer to a pick'em at game time.

All of the public action is on the home dog. Vegas will make a lot of money on this game.

Pretty much all the intangibles favor UCLA. But that is all they have.

I’m not sure why our fans think this will be a blowout. Is on paper talent making everyone so confident? I fully expect this to be a dog fight.

that's not the way Vegas makes money.

Vegas doesn't pick winners and losers. They try to get equal money on both sides of the bet and they pocket the vig.

2 first time coordinators, O is still an unknown, new QB. Best receiver is a soph, no proven RB, no proven LB, or safety. UCLA looked good against a crap team.

We are displaced and then traveling a long damn way

shite, I may not even watch

If the talent gap wasn't so wide, I'd be really worried about Jones calling his first game as a coordinator against Chip Kelly.

LSU 15-3 alltime vs Pac-10 in Football. Lost to Oregon in 1932 first game, lost an alleged no-show effort vs Stanford in 1977 NYE bowl game, and 1979 classic with phantom Thibodeaux holding call vs #1 USC(for a while the arguable GOAT). Otherwise ran the table. Currently on a 10 game win streak.

Rookie gamblers take advantage of it then all the experienced bookers will bet on it right before kickoff amd the line will move. Easiest winning bet of the first week

it wasn't a phantom holding call on Thibodeaux, it was grabbing the facemask which he did, but it was a "gaze"...what was bullshite on that play is the guard and tackle both moved for USC before the snap and the play should have been whistled dead...the play is on youtube for everyone to watch...

I might put five figures on this. This is the easiest money I’ve ever made. LSU is easily three touchdowns better
