    what am I missing? is OSU that bad? is NIU that good? shouldn't OSU beat them by at least 30?

    if that really is the line, then looks like you've got some free money there.

    The Notre Dame/Georgia Tech line looks a little low too...anyone know anything?

    NIU has a good RB named Garrett Wolfe who people think will contend for a Heisman (not win because he's from such a small conference). I'm guessing the linesmakers think he'll keep it relatively close?

    OSU usually starts out the season pretty conservative. They also put in their backups relatively early in their "cupcake games".

    I still don't see it at -20.5. I logged onto pinnacle and I only see the -18 moved from -105 to -110.

    also, I saw notre dame is only a 7 point favorite against georgia tech. am I losing my mind? I've looked at it like 20 times and it still said the same thing. I am more confused on that than the OSU game. isn't GT only a .500 team at best?

    it's -112 to bet ND -7 and +102 to bet -8. jesus I want to make it -18 and see what kind of line I could get with that.

    I was a North Carolina win away from winning $300 today. Not sure why I felt that was a 'safe' bet.

    I had Ohio State, Indiana, UAB, Notre Dame, but lost on the Rutgers game. And I almost took Tennessee for the win.

    Damnit. I was only down a couple bucks after I won on Notre Dame...plus I found a $20 on the ground earlier today.
