A week and a half ago, the Golden Nugget released lines on a number of games. You gotta love the spirit, taking the opportunity to get the cash flowing two and a half months early. The early birds lined up to put their money down, and they moved some lines around in a big way. The object of greatest show of affection was the University of Georgia. The love starts in Week 1.
The Week 1 matchup of Boise State @ Georgia came out of the box at Boise -6. The smarts said no, and bet it all the way down to -1 1/2. Week 2 features the South Carolina Gamecocks @ Georgia, and SC came out at -3 and went to -2 1/2.
The next time Georgia is featured is Week 5 when they host Mississippi State. This one moved from -3 1/2 to -5 1/2. There's another big 'Dawg move in Week 9 when Georgia visits Florida. They started at +3 and moved to -1, a big, big swing. Week 11, Auburn @ Georgia, went from -4 1/2 to -9. Huge!
Georgia is featured in two other games, -3 1/2 @ Tennessee in Week 6 and - 6 1/2 @ Georgia Tech in Week 13, neither of which moved.
Notre Dame got show of financial support, too. In Week 2 @ Michigan, they went from -2 to -3. Week 4 @ Pitt, ND went from -4 to -5. They picked up a point in Week 6 hosting Air Force, and a point again hosting USC in Week 8, and once again@ Maryland in Week 11. Week 13, ND @ Stanford, ND went from a 6 1/2 point dog to 4 1/2.
Clemson hosts Auburn in Week 3. Clemson opened at -1 and soared to -6. In Week 4 FSU goes to Clemson. Clemson went from a 7 point dog to 5 1/2.
My Wildcats showed up in a few games, too. NU @ Michigan, Week 6, opened at Michigan -4 and went to pick 'em. The 'Cats are unchanged as a PK in Week 8 hosting Penn State. NU is a 12 point dog when they visit new Big 10'ers Nebraska in Week 10.
Fun stuff. We'll wait until it's a little closer to kick off to put out any cash.
