As far as Vegas being spot on.....
Michigan was around a 36-38 point favorite against UCF. Michigan won by 37.
Alabama was a 28.5 favorite over Western KY. Bama won by 28.
Notre Dame was a 29.5 favorite over Nevada. Notre Dame won by 30.
Of course they aren't always right and I am pointing out their best lines from last week but they are usually more right than wrong.
If I recall, UT, a supposed top ten team to open the season, was only an eleven point favorite over App State. That was at Tenneesee. With us on the road against them, 3.5 doesn't surprise me one bit. As some said, I will just be happy to come out with a W.
Georgia - 55 v. Nichols
OKST - 18 v. Central Michigan
TCU -10.5 v. Arkansas
UL -17 v. Syracuse
Wisc -21.5 v. Akron
Sometimes they're right, sometimes they're wrong. Their goal is get 50% of the bets on one side and 50% on the other. Sometimes they hit the spread dead-on and sometimes they don't.
This dude picks out 4 games to prove his goofy *** theory that Vegas is somehow prescient and can pick final margins of victory. I'm glad someone took the time to shove that dumb **** back in his cornhole where it belongs.
These dingbats think Vegas is about picking the score. They're about getting action on both sides, and they know everyone is all jizzed up on App Store because they beat Michigan a hundred years ago and fought like Rudy against the incredible Tennessee of the unbeatable SEC.
This is free money for anyone not brainwashed by the media. It's the cool thing to pick App Store to beat us. That's why the line is what it is. Vegas knows people are retarded.
Free money right here.
All they want is 50/50 money. They don't care about predicting the final result and if they're close it is an unintended result.
I think the Simpsons said it best.
