Game of the Year
The opening line on LSU/Alabama is ‘Bama -4.5. I made a somewhat vague promise to myself that if I was more than a point off in either direction on this line I would bet the game so it looks like I am taking LSU. Couple of boring points about the line…
- It is a night game which definitely adds some value to the home team (‘Bama)
- There are ongoing questions for LSU as to who exactly will be playing/suspended
- LSU’s QB situation cannot be considered fully locked-down
- Vegas is not run by idiots. They know an awful lot of casual sport fans will bet this line thinking, “how the hell do you make the #1 team in the nation more than a field goal ‘dog ever?” Knowing this, they have still made the line 4.5, something that definitely gives one pause
With all that said, I’ll be taking the points…
Pick : LSU +4.5
