Yeah. I heard that on ESPN this morning. Wonder what happened to have the spread bumped up. Maybe the amount of betting?  Not really an expert in this area.

Vegas likes to keep the betting from getting too heavy on one side or the other to limit thier exposure. In order for the line to move up with us as the favorite tells me everyone is betting us and they are trying to draw some LSU bets.

Zactley! Noticing the over/under at almost 3 times the actual score of the first game.
