Georgia -15, this will be a rout from the start.

 

[MajorGCG]

Vandy plays UGA tough. Beat them 2 years ago and damn near beat them last year. That 15 is no gimme at all.

 

[homedawg]

Loving BYU

Ohio State -3. MSU can't stand prosperity.

While OSU's defense is not up to recent great standards, IMO, they are very good and match up very well with MSU's offense.

Ohio State will move the ball on the ground and make life much easier for Terrell Pryor.

Will be big play.

 

[Moneyline_Monster]

LSU is a definite big-play for me....

Are we absolutely sure these are the openers?

I know lots of people have their place to go to find them, and donbest differs on about 5 or so of these.

Rutgers -3.5, Maryland +1.5, Clemson -4, Cal -1, and FAU pk differ. And, yes this really matters to me, so anyone with a definite answer please help me out. Thanks in advance.

I take the openers directly from Bookmaker/Cris. Normally there is not an issue with the lines but the site was a little crazy for about 30-45 seconds where lines didn't display. If something is off, I will note it on the thread. Thanks

Nice, appreciate the quick reply.

 

[EveryGamblersDream]

You're welcome. I don't use Don Best or any of those line services. Never cared for them to be honest.

Seeing you are from Columbus, what do you think of OSU vs PSU.

Hopefully others will chime in if they find some info on incorrect lines.

I count at least 3 lines which differ from Don Best. One of which (Arizona) differs by 1 point. I may have missed a couple of them as well.

Makes you wonder, doesn't it.

 

[jbragg10]

yea ... BYU and Ohio St. look good.

Not sure I understand the makes you wonder statement.

DonBest offers the openers for free which is nice.

When it comes to PSU/OSU, I really not too convinced of anything right now. Although, I really think there could be value w/ taking the Buckeyes. They WIN their games. It may not be pretty, but they do what it takes. PSU wins too, but they just look more convincing. It won't matter when they visit the Shoe.

So, I guess as of now I like their chances.

 

[BillyWaltersJr+]

Not sure I understand the makes you wonder statement.

Considering that CRIS owns a significant stake in Don Best, would it not benefit them if they posted a couple of incorrect openers for the public to see. Perhaps just to screw with them, perhaps to screw up what some people to decide what they will bet, basing it off of line movement between the opening and the closing numbers.

It would be a tactic which would not effect the average bettor, because they would not know any better.

Myself, I don't think that is out of the realm of possibility.

Ahh I get it now. A very interesting observation which I feel could easily be reality.

If Pk or - + 1 is SO important to you, maybe you should skip the gm. Ever dawn on you?
