So a 9-2 ranked GT vs a 9-2 ranked UGA gets the most lopsided line of the CPJ era? Seems like easy money.Courtesy goldsheet.com, last seven years of betting lines:
2007 Georgia was a 3-point fav. UGA won by 14.
2008 Georgia was an 8 point fav. TECH won by 3.
2009 Georgia Tech was an 8 point fav. UGA won by 6.
2010 Georgia was a 13-point fav. UGA won by 8.
2011 Georgia was a 5-point fav. UGA won by 14.
2012 Georgia was a 13.5 point fav. UGA won by 32.
2013 Georgia was a 3-point fav. UGA won by 7 (OT)
UGA 5-2 vs. line for last seven years.
OT counts for bets, lines are not just for regular time.Counting an OT win as covering the spread is kinda dumb, especially if you are using it to make the point that UGA exceeded expectations. In reality UGA is 4-3 which is basically a wash.
It's about where I thought it would be, not necessarily where I thought it should be.I don't get the spread and I don't get you ööögots saying its "about right". Sure , Georgie should be favored, but we're a 9-2 Tech team who just demolished a (still) ranked opponent, walking into our biggest game with the most we've ever had to play for
Yeah, sure, 14.5
I hate UGA, but I like money way more.Missouri - Arkansas early line finally posted: PK
Man I hope Missouri wins that game.
Yeah, sure, 14.5
I get that it counts for actual bets, but he wasn't referring to a bet. He was using the spread to make a point that UGA usually performs better than what was expected against Georgia Tech. If a favored team has to go to OT to win, they did not exceed expectations. Thereby they exceeded expectations 4 of 7 times, which is not a big deal.OT counts for bets, lines are not just for regular time.
It's 5-2, because we couldn't force a FG in OT or stop them in 4th Q...
Life savingsSo how much are you wagering on GT +14.5?
Looks like not many will get that opportunity.So how much are you wagering on GT +14.5?
9-2 vs. 6-5. Hard to justify picking the team that just became bowl eligible a few days ago.I hate UGA, but I like money way more.
I'd hit the Arkansas side hard, that's an awful line.
Point taken. I've never really considered OT games and lines, but it's true that the game should basically be considered a tie in terms of point spread.Counting an OT win as covering the spread is kinda dumb, especially if you are using it to make the point that UGA exceeded expectations. In reality UGA is 4-3 which is basically a wash.
This---their OL vs our DL.This line looks about right to me. This is not a good matchup for us. We're going to have to play perfect on offense. No turnovers. I don't see how we stop their running game. We're going to have to get a few turnovers and turn them into TD's.
