Why don’t people ever understand that’s not how lines work? Vegas is not the one betting. They are enticing you to bet. They are not saying they think Ohio State will win by 11.5 points, they are saying they think this will make us the most money

Indiana is 8-2 against the spread this year

They average beating the spread by 14 pts…..Which is the most in the nation by a lot

So if they keep their average that means they win by 3 points here….

It's in Columbus. OSU will likely boatrace the fugazi known as Indiana.

The good news is they’ll play on the field and we’ll get to see

Playing Ohio State in Indy is not going to be a “neutral” site game.

If Ohio state doesn’t win it all this year, Day needs to be fired.

This is the best chance in years for them.

Indiana's schedule has been a joke

This is true but OSU kind of cruises late in games while up a lot and IU has just kept pouring it on.

Nebraska is the outlier here of course

There are a lot of cranes in Vegas right now from making bad spreads


Ohio St will blow them out

Indiana is being projected as our first round playoff opponent. TCU deliverance raping part 2.

This quote doesn’t make sense. They’re not trying to “be right on a spread”

The goal for Vegas is to collect even money on both sides and get 10% on the game.

106th strength of schedule

Indiana gonna get hammered I think. If they were flying under the radar they may catch OSU sleeping with Michigan on deck but I think they're going to be a victim of their own success.

Georgia isn’t nearly as good as you seem to believe.

This years UGA isn’t as good as one that had a top 10 pick playing TE. 2 WR taken in the second round. The current starting RB for the buffalo bills and a 2nd round LT. Wow brother you’re really breaking news

That shouldn’t be impossible for a team on Georgia’s level to replace

UGA isn’t and as far as I’ve been alive been known to put out consistent 2,3,4,5 top 3- round offensive talent on a yearly basis. Especially not like we sort of began to do around the time of 2020ish. For UGA to put our bowers whose basically the best receiver in that draft as well at 8, Ladd and AD in the second round, James cook who is crushing it for the bills this year; Stetson in the later rounds, and I know at least one O line in the 2nd round was something that wasn’t ever going to be a possibility to replace. Even Bama under dark sabans offense arc would struggle to.

These threads are every week about Vegas making a ridiculous mistake. Do we ever follow up after they win?

Just like Tenn +10 was ridiculous and BYU only -1.5 at home against Kansas

I posted already Indiana has made a fool of Vegas lines this year already. They average beating the spread by 14 points. It’s irrelevant at this point as it relates to them
