I'd be willing to bet that there was a helluva lot more money bet on USC -41 than on Stanford +41..

Actually, I believe the line opened @ USC -43. That means the money came in pretty heavy on Stanford for the line to move two whole points. That is a big move here in Vegas. The line adjusts based on the betting, so there is seldom a game where there is that great a disparity on betting a point spread.

LSU +3 vs South Carolina looks very TRAPPY... as you guys have shown, WHO WOULDNT TAKE LSU and the POINTS?

Considering I predict LSU to lose that game, classic trap game in the same exact mold as Kentucky last year, I'd have to tease it to bet that one. LSU +9 is attractive though.

I'd buy LSU +10 at UF

I wouldn't concern myself to much with spreads. The Auburn and South Carolina games are being considered toss-ups. The 3 points are being given for playing at home. The books aren't saying that those teams are better, they are just factoring in home field. Conversely, the books are saying the UGA will be almost a TD better than LSU and UF is a TD better. These lines will surely move once our QB establishes himself and the rest of the team lives up to expectations. No sense to bet these games now.
