Vegas opens FSU as 3 point favorite

[Gismo]

Apparently Cuse has a better offense than FSU and USF has a better defense than UL.  Therefore  USF wins by 30.

I'm actually looking forward to this

We shall see what Vegas and gamblers thinks of USF by Friday. Assuming no changes to USF or FSU I think the point spread will be around 14 to lure more bets on USF to beat the spread.

but FSU's offense is much better than Cuse's.

But is it though? Facing Francois as a true freshman delights me at this point.

I wish they would give FSU 2 touchdowns. FSU is already pissed, now they have even more motivation to try to stomp us. We better be ready, the stacks have changed now. We are facing a desperate  FSU now.

Some of you need my annual tutorial on what the line means. It's not a prediction. It was -3 because if it was -10 after last week, people would have dumped a ******** on USF thinking, "FSU sucks. Louisville destroyed them." You want a number that gives you even money on BOTH teams. 

Well said.

Betting lines are not predictions themselves... they are actually predictions of predictions.  The line is set that says "we predict that half of bettors will predict one or the other"

Exactly. Every year, we get the "Vegas doesn't respect us..." whine. Vegas doesn't care enough about us to have an opinion either way. This line was set on name alone.

Or . . . FSU is a broken team. 

USF is expecting to win.

Their Achilles heel last year on defense was tackling. It reared its ugly head again yesterday. If they don't tackle better especially in the secondary it could be a very long day. Poor tackling kept Syracuse on the field Way more than should they should've been.

So what you're saying is ... Vegas loves the Bulls?
