Some interesting Lines and Odds on Bama and others this season on www.Sportsbook.com.

Bama is a double digit favorite over every team except ARK & LSU. LSU has 3 games that are 3 pts or less. Auburn is a big underdog in a ton of home games.

Overall, Bama's getting a lot of respect for a team trying to repeat and win 3 of 4 which has only been done once ever. No doubt we're fighting some long odds, but everyone's acknowledging we have a legitimate chance to pull it off...ROLL TIDE!

I am surprised that USC is a 2.5 to 1 favorite to win the NC. Usually the odds makers have the most unbiased oppinions on sports. Maybe they are trying to sucker in all of that west coast money on a lossing cause. USC isn't going to win the NC, probably not even the PAC-12. I like Bama's or LSU's chances this year.

If Vegas has USC at 2.5 to 1 it's because they believe it. I feel like those numbers are right where they need to be considering each respective teams conference schedule. I know none of us want USC to be back in "big boy" status, but they have a lot of firepower and two maybe three tough games to win.

^^ This, Vegas has a history of playing up to ,favorites, and west coast love. I remember a couple of years ago this gave them major butt hurt when the Pack went all the way, huge losses in sin city that day.

That's probably going to change significantly with Rogers probably done and Hunter not fully recovered.

From what I have heard the line has moved up to 13 for Bama Michigan. Not that a point matters but I just thought I would inform everyone.

Vegas sets the line to begin with but the betting line moves based upon the number of people placing bets for one team or the other. Bookies want the bets to be 50% for one team and 50% for the other team. They make their 10% and minimize their losses. The odds on USC winning will be 10 to 1 before the half way point of the season.

Especially after they play Oregon.
 
Also, odds on Bama and LSU would be higher because as someone said "I like LSU or Alabama's chances better". Exactly, if you could take those two teams against the field, you would get prob even money odds. But when you take one, thats why you get worse odds than USC. Don't know if that makes sense the way I worded it, but it makes sense in my head lol.

Soooo many SEC haters want USC to win the title.

Vegas knows this and panders to it. Jmo.
