[QUOTE="boger2337, post: 743784, member: 4089"] I can only guess 3 issues. All are unlikely but have happened. 1. This is an old line from a previous years supposed match up. 2. Someone crunched the wrong numbers on either side and its giving a false spread. 3. This is the correct spread for vegas, but the 7.5 is the public given spread. (Lets dive deeper into this for the uninformed). Vegas will have their true spread for a game. So the number they think really happens. Then they have the number they know the public will "buy". Essentially a number that will cause interest. GT being -3 may scare some UCF bettors off by thinking vegas knows something and GT bettors will say thats way too much for GT. Setting GT at 7.5 gives UCF bettors confidence that UCF is superior due to their ranking and past records, and gives GT bettors confidence that a 7.5 spread is achievable. You never see the VEGAS number, but sometimes its exposed on accident on some websites due to error. Could this be it? Who knows. [/QUOTE]
