lines are set so as to bring in even money on both sides

Yes, at the close of betting, the net of all bets on a game should be even on both sides of the line. In order to do that, the line is continually set to generate bets on the side that is ‘behind’ in total money collected.

So, the Utah line opened with Utah getting points, bets came in on…[Read more]

What a relief, knowing you don’t have to be denied your tasty beverage of choice! Sounds like a good time – wish I could be there.

Cheers!

That’s what I thought – which is why I thought it odd to be tailgating on campus.

Maybe the lack of alcohol isn’t as concerning to some as it apparently is to me!

You described exactly how i feel – don’t care enough to get angry with them anymore.

I’m curious: can you bring alcohol to a tailgate in a BYU parking lot? Or will you get shut down?

Not that I’m going (don’t live in Utah), just wondering.

Your profile pic is icky

I just noticed a huge typo/error in my post

I meant to say that Utah typically doesn’t cover a large spread in its favor (giving 10+ points), but almost always covers a large spread as an underdog (getting 10+ points).

I make this clear in my discussion, but I was ambiguous in my wording at the beginning of my post.

TLDR, take Utah and the…[Read more]

I wouldn’t worry too much about what someone paid Forbes to say about BYU.

Not sure about all disciplines, but to say Utah’s scientific research is ahead of anything happening at BYU is like saying P5 conferences attract better athletes than DII schools.

Science at BYU is not in the same league as the U. Hell, they’re not even the same sport.…[Read more]

I think they were just trying to generate action on the line – if they opened with Utah giving points, there wouldn’t have been that big push you saw to move the line in Utah’s favor.

Vegas almost always gets it wrong with the Utes, IMHO, because of a multitude of factors. First, Utah (in the past – hopefully this is changing) will never cover a…[Read more]

Hi @UM4G – welcome!

So, so true

Haha! Now I’m getting downvoted – awesome

BYU’s offense may be the worst I ever remember from a BYU team.

But, Ty Detmer? Heisman?

Kinda off topic, buuuut . . .

I find the ‘downvote’ concept to be fascinating. Two people ‘downvoted’ this comment – what on earth could they possibly see here that would warrant a ‘thumbs down?’ Unless, they have some really strange personal dislike for the poster, so they ‘downvote’ every post made by this individual? Or, they’re trolling?…[Read more]

this

I agree with you – I just like the optimism of preseason!
