    I believe that line was closer to 40, but close enough.

    Disagree strongly with this. This spread probably should have opened closer to PK or Miami +1/+1.5 but there was an added point or two toward Miami b/c it was their final game in the OB.

    No way, Virginia would be favored -4 or higher with that team against anyone in the ACC not named Duke.

    Very early in the season, one that jumped out at me.

    Georgia +16 at Alabama. You give me 2 TDs on a SEC game and most of the time I'll take it. That usually stands true from the beginning of the season to the end.

    Georgia won 26-23.

    I think you are severely mistaken. I can't recall the spread off hand but there is no way in the world that Alabama would be a 16 pt favorite against Georgia's 2nd string. I mean ALA is -24 against a Sun Belt school this week at home and money is pouring in on the Sun Belt school. I would say this line may have been closer Alabama -3/-3.5.

    The line was never higher than 3.5 or lower than 3. Never close to 16.

    The point is that the team that was getting points won by 48. If you had the courage to take UM you were out of it after the first score. The line was way out of whack.

    not really. The line was slightly high due to Miami playing their final home game. Ignore the final score of the games for a moment. Basically what I am asking is if these games were to be played again today at the same location they would be totally different in terms of the line like 10-20 pts different.

    Miami would not be anymore than a +3 dog at home to Virginia. Virginia has won 5 of thier 9 games by less than 3 pts. UVA winning 48-0 is a major anomaly.

    You really think Miami would be 7-10 pt favorites on the road to Miami?
