Vegasinsider consensus line has moved out to -8...

They must believe we're a good bit more to be reckoned with then preseason.

Just means more money has come in on us. Smart or dumb money who knows?

 

[Yellowbob]

Smart money. i'm a blind optimist but I believe we've got the makings of a good team. Everyone commenting about O line but Jackie Sherill said that they were the last group to come together on a team. All that coordinated rhythm, according him, peaks the third game. This is also a new group. They don't know yet exactly what to expect from each other.

 

[ShrubDog]

If they are betting on this game it ain't smart money. Plenty of other ponds for the whales to play in....

Wrong. Dumb money plays the marquee matchups. Smart money wins games. I'm not saying ours in particular, but smart money often times bets obscure games.

 

[Yellowbob]

After last week with Tenn. and UCLA I don't think there is such a thing as smart money. Just sucker money. I used to take a flier years ago and could never enjoy the game for worrying about the line. Never again.

You have no idea what you're talking about. What am I wrong about boss? You really think a whale will lay more than a TD on the road at LaTech? Maybe if they got it at -6. They very well could but I bet there are better odds out there to lay 6 figures on instead of MSU. Old Dominion and UMass is obscure. MSU vs LaTech is not obscure.

Tell us how much more has come in on MSU? I would like to know.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but if you're not smart money, how do you know that the MSU game isn't one they've identified as a game to go heavy?

It seems like it would potentially be one. It's a power 5 school and a group of 5 school, so enough recognition to draw some dumb money, but not a marquee matchup where a lot of people know about both teams. You've also got a good bit of change, with a new coordinator for MSU and just one performance against a FCS school, so a lot of people may not be discounting our prior defensive struggles enough.

 

[ShrubDog]

You really don't know for sure but if you are close to the business you see things. The problem is MSU is on the road and LaTech can score. Way to many unknowns but MSU should win the game and have a good shot at covering.

If you had 100K would you be confident in MSU covering on the road or find a better number or ML elsewhere? My point is there are better numbers out there...notice I didn't say matchups.

Look at Old Dominions game, that has moved past 2 key numbers by Wednesday. There is an obscure game.

Just FYI it WAS -6. And a lot of people bet it. That's why it moved to -8.

I know pessimism is the vogue thing here, but we will cover comfortably.

They can score on our defense, but they will never keep our DL and LBs out of their backfield all day.

We have enough weapons to possibly score over 40 on their defense I watched Saturday... maybe even more.

Our special teams are better.

We have more depth. They may put up a fight in the first half but will wear out in the second.

Fitz will not allow us to lose to La Tech even if he has to make more carries.

Read above.

Im sure they did but who?Steam or sharp??

Most shops opened at -7 not -6. The Wynn was -4.

We know la Tech can score against northwestern state. Yeah that doesn't tell me anything Fam. Only way this game is anywhere near 8 points is if Mullen ***** foots around and takes his foot off the gas way too early like he's known to do.

enough to move the line that's how much.

 

[ShrubDog]

Have you ruled out reverse line movement? Im asking for a friend...

^^^ Now we are getting somewhere. Its moose season and LSU is on deck.

I've ruled in Vegas wanting equal action. Especially around a key number. But your overthinking it is impressive.
