we are ranked below Georgia, we are on the road and the line opened up as UT being a 3 point fav?? It is down to 2 1/2 now and in Vegas a half a point equals a half of million $$.......?? HOW??


Umm, whos is betting on what games this week........gimme all ur thoughts on this weeks lines!!

Maybe because...The lines are set on how people are betting and the polls aren't effected by the lines.

Spread = betting
Polls = poll voters.

For whatever reason, Georgia is ranked higher, but it is almost 100% consensus that we have the better team on paper.

the rule of thumb is 3 points for home field advantage....just wondering if you guys agree with a -6 line if it were in Knoxville

If it were UT -6, I wouldn't bet it. It's a good line at -6, but I love UT at -2.5.

In reality, applying 3 points for every home team is a bit illogical. Georgia has a better home field advantage than Memphis. Therefore, apply 4 points to Georgia's HFA.

UGA started out ranked higher, and they're undefeated, so they haven't dropped that much even with unimpressive wins.
