OLY first with line for Arenabowl

[scottw]

Opens with GA -3, total 106.

Kinda figured it'd be something like that. Georgia a small favorite and the o/u... I thought the o/u would be a few points lower than that... but a solid line nonetheless. Still going to wait for Pinnacle's answer and props. Props were ridiculously easy last year, and since this game has a lot of exposure, a lot of "Joe Publics" will take the sucker props and give us much better odds on them.

Back tomorrow afternoon.

I had it GA -4.5/5 and the total at 99/99.5. I will probably not bet the AB simply because weird things happen. I will just be rooting for GA since I have 1/2 unit at +750 on them.

Personally feel like there is some good value on the under 106.

Colorado's D, particularly their downfield coverage, has improved steadily the past few weeks. I think this line is a reaction to Colorado's high powered offense, their low ranked defense (statistically anyways), the 60-58 game Georgia played on Saturday and the fact that this game will be heavily bet by the public and we all know which way they will be going (especially an arena game that many have not paid attention to all year). Scott, I do agree with you in the fact that past Arena Bowls have been, well, lets just say "goofy" in terms of how they play out.

Best of luck to everyone no matter which way you play.

I also agree on the under. First ever AB for each side. Has to be some jitters.

 

[AFLGuru]

Definitely not going to disagree with the under in this one... but the way that these WRs get up and down the field, the jitters could very easily come in the form of a missed tackle, not a dropped pass... so under the "jitters" logic, I don't think there is a solid basis within... However... things do seem like they want to play under in this game, and at least for now, I believe that is a proper play in the game.

I strongly believe the offenses will be a wash but the difference will be on Defense and this is where Georgia will take this game, probably going to hit the Georgia ML, going to predict that Gaines will be the difference. Going to the game so should be a great weekend, GL fellas. Anyone know if there were any significant injuries that came out of last weekend?

 

[AFLGuru]

Georgia had a lineman go down late in the 4th quarter, but I couldn't see what the number was... I know it wasn't Jermaine Smith, so it's probably not much of anything, but it might be something to look for on Thursday's injury report.
