I think it must mean that UT has a lot of money bet for them all the time. I know out here in CA, where everyone gambles, everyone was picking UT over UCLA, who was a 10 point dog. I thought that was unusual. It appears most of the nation still doesn't understand how bad UT has fallen and that has swung a lot of points UT's way, except for the UF game, where it was opposite and everyone bet against us. If I had a lot of money, I'd drove 3 hours to Vegas and put $1,000 on Georgia. I'm not one of these fans who can't bet against his own team, betting is for winning and what team would you know more about than your own.

Exactly, most people don't know jackshit about the business of gambling. I actually heard one of the idiots on the News-Sentinel show today talking about how muchmoney the casinos lost making us the favorite in the Auburn game.

Earth to Dave Hooker, the casinos don't lose money usually, the people that bet on the losing side lose money. I agree with an earlier poster, who in their right mind would bet on us against Georgia and give 1.5 points? We are still in the eyes of most, a national team, so you could have made a lot of money betting against us last week and against UCLA.

Curious. I do think Monte will have some success scheming against UGA, but it is really hard to understand making UT the favorite.

I feel dirty about it, but I went ahead and bet Georgia straight up without the points. I see no conceivable way that we can beat a top tier SEC team with Crompton at quarterback. Martinez will be fired as DC at the press conference immediately after the game if he lets Wormy beat him.

Makes no sense, but I'll take anything we can get.

I like the under at 46.5.

Might be the "Lock of the Year" in betting circles. Uga has AJ Green and.... and we have Montario Hardesty and.....

I think we are so uni-dimensional on offense that we will run the ball up and down the field and eat up clock and kick FGs. On D, I think we put Eric Berry on AJ Green and that pushes UGAs point total down too. That's why I like the under. I have no idea who wins.

how people, in the year of our lord 2009, don't understand that the reason why the line moves up until kickoff is because ACTION MOVES THE LINE

jesus this isn't rocket science
