bartshan-83 Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 5 BCS games, 1 spread within a TD. Louisville -9.5 Wake Oklahoma -8.5 Boise State LSU -9 ND Michigan -1.5 USC Ohio State -8 Florida They seem about right though...I could have seen LSU by 10 or 11, but that would have moved real quick. Also could have seen UL by 10+. I like Ohio State giving 8 and possibly Louisville. REALLY, REALLY like Arkansas -1 v. Wisconsin. And while this pains me, Rutgers -7 K State is tempting. K State basically made their season in one game...they lost every other shot they had at a decent school. 4-4 in the Big XII JV/North? Loss to Baylor? Guess Vegas hates on the Big East too...

BuffOrange Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Looks pretty solid; not enough of a college guru to pull the trigger I guess. ND seems to be overvalued a lot in Bowl games, right? I thought that line would be lower. Would probably take the points w/ Fla if I had to - championship lines seem to be inflated as well. But who knows, it so much a crapshoot when the teams have 2 months off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see thousands of ND fans jumping the line if it was at 10-12 though. So I think it's about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olivier in france Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 That Michigan line is a joke, i'd still play Michigan if the line was -14! (and i hate the wolverines!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinandjokin Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 5 BCS games, 1 spread within a TD. Louisville -9.5 Wake Oklahoma -8.5 Boise State LSU -9 ND Michigan -1.5 USC Ohio State -8 Florida 857467[/snapback] I was going to post the same thing when I saw the paper this morning. Crazy. I love the UM-USC classic Rose Bowl. Also, I should quit my job and go work in Vegas as a bookmaker. In Bart's "Road to Glendale" thread, I had my morning line for OSU-UF at 8.5: That said, I throw some completely random guesses out there as to what the point spreads would be if each of these teams made it. Ohio State is the favorite in all games: Michigan +4 - Played OSU close in Columbus, but were the Bucks ever really in jeopardy? USC +5.5 - I can't remember the last time the Trojans got points Arkansas +7- If they're there, that means they were impressive vs. LSU and Florida. Best team in best conference Notre Dame +8- Like in the Michigan game, stopping OSU would be the problem. Irish couldn't do it in the Fiesta Bowl Florida +8.5- I can't see their offense putting up enough points to run with Troy and the boys. 844758[/snapback] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
