Does anyone know what the spread is for Saturday's game? I've looked many places on-line and can't find it. I would bet that it is at least 39...am I wrong? Please help. Thanks.

I saw, in today's paper, that there was- No Line - on the Ball State vs B.G. game.Could this possibly have something to do with the Ball State suspension situation? I don't know.

Yeah, anytime "key" players are suspended or missing in any form, the bookies generally take games off the board until they can get a handle on how the team will perform.
I would agree in most cases that 39 would be a reasonable number, but how much money is Vegas going to make on a team that gave up 56 the previous week?

Plenty if you make the line high enough to attract an equal amount of money to both sides of the bet.

I've been looking for that one too -- no matter the numbers I planned to take the Falcons minus the points and the under, based on the simple idea the defense wants to/needs to/ will pitch a shutout and the offense will be resting early.

not to mention some team when you pull your starters out can turn around and cover a spread in the O/U etc...
