You think this makes State the sharp play? I am not
being sarcastic just curious about your view point.

That is actualy how I bet but I don't even look at lines until about 15 mins. before game time... I think only the last few minutes of line movement really matters...

Yes I know that MSU looks like the sharp play here, but I am passing on this game totally as I just don't know how the Bulldogs are going to score.

MSU is far from a sharp play (with all due respect to Vanzack who I know is on the game)...they may very well cover, but most the sharp guys I know are on LSU...

and I would be very careful to use pinnacle as a gauge of what sharp players are playing...they are taking far less action on college football this year, I'd look to books like bookmaker and the greek...

bookmaker has had this at 19.5 for a little while now, with many places still sitting at 18.5. That would suggest they don't want any more action on LSU.
