Which side you taking there? I could see that going to 7.

Should be a good game. I would bet the under. It will probably be in the low 80s

Initial number only, I like Bama

I feel like people are going to drive that number down though, betting on tOSU.

Also interested to see what comes out on Fields.

It’s going back and forth between 6.5 and 7 now. More action money wise on Bama it looks like.

Line seems perfect. Lean Bama just bc they are a bit more trustworthy, but Ohio State has the firepower to win.

76 right now. That’s dicey. I like Bama, but will wait til kickoff. -6.5 looks great. I doubt you get that at kickoff.

How can you bet under with these two? It’s either over or nothing.

Taking Bama at -6.5 is the perfect bet.

Other lines had -7.5...that's too much.

You can do alternate points on DK. Sometimes you have to eat some vig, but it’s nice to get the number you want.

It’s sitting right at 7. I think it stays there and moves up by game time.

6 point teaser
Buckeye +13
Over 70
That’s teasing me at the moment.

I’m skeptical OSU can duplicate that offensive performance against a quality team, but more than anything they won’t push the Bama OL around like they did Clemson’s. I’d take Bama up to 10.5 or so.

Vegas knows what they're doing. -6.5 and all the money would be on Bama.

I saw -7.5 but the consensus is -7.0.

I think it goes back to -7.5 by game time.

Ohio State has a massive following. They’ll drop it down even more. I’ll wait until the day of the game to see how low it gets.

Yeah, lines move because of emotion...but those are a lot of small bets.

I just can't see it going down to -6.5 because the sharps would be all over that.

Under a TD is going to seem like total free money to a lot of people.

And tons of people would bet the logical push at -7.0...so it has to go up to at least -7.5.

Vegas is feeling out the public with this initial line and it will probably already be different tomorrow.
