The Line Is Out...

We're a 2.5 point dog against Wisconsin. Not bad.

That can't be right -- we'll be 10 point dogs at the very least.

Perhaps someone let them in on AT as our secret weapon.

Really? I find that somewhat hard to believe....then again, Wisky has a total of 3 starters back on their offense, 8 on defense.

I figured we would be at least a 12-14 dog to start. Hmmm....

59 days....

Hey that's the ticket -- let's just put Winovich's jersey on him. Nobody will ever know

Seriously, is this your personal line? Do you have a link that show any college football game lines yet?

It was on ESPN radio this morning. Not sure what their source was. Perhaps if you search online for lines it'll be available. There was several other games mentioned.

He's not making it up. I heard it on espn radio as well. Of course after the BG/Wisconsin line was given who ever was talking followed it up by saying something to the effect ..."[thats a game I don't want to watch]".

It was John Kincade, who is in for Colin Cowherd this week, that said BG was 2.5 dogs to Wisconsin. The context where Kincade (from Atlanta) mentioned the BG-UW game was as a game that's NOT a must see in his mind, unlike Florida St. - Miami, which was a must see for him. I think he was speaking in terms of his "normal" local audience not really caring about BG-UW, no matter what the spread.

No, he was being a dick when he was talking about SEC football.

Why is there a line two months before the game?

that's amazing, maybe the line makers think we still hvae steve and chuck, lol. As far as a game not wanting to watch, that's a little hard to believe considering the game last year was probally the most exciting game I've ever been too. And I tivo'd it and watched it when we got back. lol

Good question, perhaps the Vegas odds makers released the college football line so early to compete with the rush of hurricane betters ( http://www.usatoday.com/weather/hurrica ... ting_x.htm ).

The line is already out for this game because it's a match of national importance and has far reaching title implications.
