ESPN really embracing point spreads on their Game Day broadcast this morning

[sendacash]

Anyone else a little surprised by this? They are talking about line movements, putting 100 dollar bills on boards, talking about the totals, etc. I think its great, too bad the NFL does not follow suit. Latest advice is that Okla is biggest public home fav, be careful! lol

Quite remarkable how acceptable it is on Gameday while those NFL stiffs never mention a spread.

I think Bear forgot to mention Okla's new O-coordinator Riley with his up-temo offense. I imagine they will want to get some of the kinks worked out of that system today and might be a bit angry after taking it up the arse to Clempson in that bowl game.

I think they are trying to drum up better ratings by attracting the gambling community. It's just a matter of time before the NFL does the same.

80% of the ratings IS the gambling community. You think 7 million non-gamblers really cared about a game between Colorado and Hawaii at 5am eastern time?

I don't think they even watched that game here in Colorado, hardly any mention in the local sports they were more concerned if the Broncos were gonna keep 3 QBs on their roster and how they were gonna make it down to the final 53.

LOLOL Touché, my friend.

Without gambling; Why would anyone watch half these games???

Yeah, my friend text me last night saying his ESPN alerts give him the spread & score of each game......sports betting is definitely being pushed to be legalized.

One of the things that would help immensely is to have a new NFL commish, because Roger isn't someone favoring legalized betting.
