Anyone got an opinion on the total?

44. Opened at 51.5

how much of it is rising and how much is simply a normal line adjustment. 7.5 for a quarterback seems like a lot.

even with what are suppose to be good/improved defense there is still a lot of offensive talent on the field tonight?

curious peoples thoughts

Utah game?

I’m on the Under 44. Pretty much for the reasons mentioned above.

I expect the defenses to be better- and I don’t expect either offense to be operating at full speed. I expect both to try and establish the run and the clock to tick

I took the first half under 21, without Rising utes O won’t be as effective, utes d will be ready for mertz. With it being first game both teams will probably work on running game and the clock change will limit possessions per half

If I recall correctly last years game was low scoring until a 4th quarter run of points. Might be wrong on that though

Total opened 48 1/2 at MGM. From what I see the books are taking more money on the over 44 but they have no preference either way due to no significant action tilted to one side. I do see the Utes pounding the ball on the ground with the superior line but you can also score and move the ball running.

This Utah OL is the deepest it's been in a long time. Utah has the ability to run through the Gators D. Jaquinden Jackson is 10x the back that Tavion Thomas was. Utah will probably pound, pound, pound then use play action to take advantage of a stacked box.

There comes a point with the line dropped such as this where you see value. I think the total is too low at this point but just my opinion. With that being said I'll take a 7-0 Utah win to cover the line lol.

That’s basically what I see in terms of the line. Can’t say I agree with the entire side take.

but from a total standpoint, everything screams under but at 44 it’s almost to the point where there is value on the over. I’d like to see it drop just a touch more though.. lol

lean over but stronger lean to utah. dont trust the fla qb and think a turnover or 2 gives a short field to utah. new rule changes are big on these totals with the running clock but i still think thats too low.
