[QUOTE="GTRX7, post: 191825, member: 1045"] Good post, and I agree with most everything you said. A lot of it sounds like what I posted above : ) The only exception I would take is to your conclusion that "the line is not usually very accurate." I think there is truth that it is not terribly accurate when compared to actual results. Sports are wild and unpredictable. But I think the opening lines are generally extraordinarily accurate at predicting the most likely outcome of a game. That is what most betters place their money on, the most expected outcome of the game. If we all knew the actual outcome before games started, this would all be moot. That has been my point from the beginning. I think Vegas picking us by around 3 indicates that they truly believe that the most likely outcome of the game is that Georgia Tech wins a close one, not some arbitrary number pulled from the air or disassociated with what they think the most likely result of the game will be. Personally, I wouldn't take Georgia Tech as a 3 point favorite, but I sure hope I am wrong! [/QUOTE]
