If Iowa beat OSU that is a possibility. Clairborne is nasty.

That Boise State line is tempting ... I think if they run the table again they may indeed get their shot.

And get beat handedly. While they may run the table(other than VT they play no one) they will get curb stomped against any of the top teams.

Couldn't you put $100 on each of them, and if someone other than Texas or Alabama wins it, you make some cash? Forgive me for not knowing, I'm not a gambler.

I don't understand why Texas is up there, Colt McCoy is leaving.

You'd beating $1300 if you bet on all the teams listed there. You'd only make money on the teams from Boise on down.

Not sure I agree with you ... they looked as impressive against Oregon as the Buckeyes did, and they took down TCU, who many felt deserved a shot at the title this year.

Nope, if you bet $100 on the 11 teams listed (not including Alabama or Texas), that would cost you $1,100. If Ohio State won at 13-2 odds, you would only get $650 back (actually a little less, you would have to pay the house).

I was thinking the same thing. With McCoy leaving I don't think they have much of a shot (although the Big XII South doesn't look terribly difficult next year either). Maybe the positives that the backup showed in the title game is enough to move the line for them to where it is.

I also don't understand USC being so high. I think they are probably a 2-3 loss football team next year.

^^what?

I think he was saying that the 25:1 odds make them a good choice to make some money.

Go drink up Tebow's tears somewhere else.

I always love the people that talk about how awful Vegas lines are. Please place some bets and make some easy money then.

Try educating Cavalier fans on how odds work. Last year, the Cavs were 6-1 favorites to beat the Magic. Yet people somehow think that the Magic were a better team than the Cavs.

On paper the Cavs were better..period. Sometimes upsets happen.

6-1 favorites doesn't make any sense. I would check your numbers again.

It is called easy money. There are plenty of USC fans who will think their team will win the NC next year so entice them with some odds and bingo easy money.

USC and Texas arent coming close. I wouldnt of made them 50/1. PSU will have 2 loses so they might as well be 1,000/1.


Oregon and Boise should be at the top with odds like 3/1 or 4/1 because both of them are going to be undefeated.
I think that's the point. Big names like Texas and USC seem to always be in the title hunt, therefore, odds makers make odds to make it seem as if they are favorites. People put money on said teams and said teams don't come close. The house wins.

This is probably why the house has been making money for a long time. I think they know what they are doing.
