I think you have a right to come in here and talk shit, and I think you do it elegantly, with just a touch of troll.Wasn't the last game 9? Shaving a TD off of a line, with nothing really changing, is a HUUUUUGE swing from an odds making perspective.
Vegas probably took an absolute bath on ML wagers, that could have been had for as high as 3 to 1 in the last contest. That -2.5 will shift and settle around 3.5-4 but the big thing being they probably don't want another game where the ML is such a huge anchor on the sportsbook's bottom line.
When you look at the future bets, Michigan and OSU are generally viewed similarly from a betting perspective. Georgia is a tier above, Michigan and OSU settle in roughly the same 2A / 2B futures tier and then TCU is a massive long shot. I have seen them in multiple places at +2000 for TCU to win the title. That is such a wildly high number as one of the last 4 teams.
I think the surprising one, to me, is that the Georgia line vs. Michigan wouldn't be higher than the original OSU line from week 12. I know their styles are very similar but I would have guessed Georgia to be something like a 6-7 point favorite against OSU and a 10-11 point favorite against Michigan.
If tOSU wants to have TTUN fans stfu, they need to win the damn games. Michigan is rolling right now.
My issue with Ohio State is that Stroud seems allergic to contact and therefore the option never works since he almost never keeps the ball. I do think he is an incredible thrower, and maybe the best, but I question his toughness. Fields was a truck and there was that game he got injured and STILL came back and delivered a touchdown.
Our defense obviously let us down. I am hoping that our extra week off is just the medicine that we need for polishing the details and getting healthy at the RB position. I do think we have a nice chance against Georgia. I like that they are rolling too. Feeling themselves.
We can play with anyone so we will see how it shakes out. We aren’t coming in hot at all, but we certainly are a dangerous 4th seed, and we backed into a spot that we barely if at all deserve.
Who do you all think are the best 4 teams?
UGA
TTUN
OSU
Clemson?
I would think TTUN would rather play TCU than Clemson, at the very least. Any other sleeper teams? I don’t buy Bama this year, but great coach of course.
Looking at the top 25, you can see just by the sheer number of losses how hard it is to go undefeated. Many ranked teams have 3-4 losses.
