Interesting article at Bleacher Report on how Vegas builds the spread.
Our questions at QB and RB will give the odds makers some real challenges in the early part of the season.
Building a spread

Re: Building a spread
i thought i saw in the early golden nugget spreads that we were a like 24 1/2 point underdog to oregon.
i was going to put the ua/asu records here...but i forgot what they were.
i'll just go with fuck asu.

The title to this thread has so many meanings. Of all of them, I would not have put my money on Vegas.

If these predictions happen you can bet the 2015 and '16 classes are going to be full of "OKGs" and we'll be sold on hopes that those "underrated" guys are going to turn out like Scooby Wright or Antoine Cason; because clearly that happens to every 2 star player and not once every other class.

Re: Building a spread
Wow. 25 points at Oregon. Total disrespect at Autzen. That's a lot of points and zero credit to RR for what he can do with the talent he has. I'm sure he wants to go back there and make a better showing than his first trip too.

So we're favored in two games? Oh ye of little faith! Where's Winger anyway?
