Someone explain this to me, because I’m completely lost.

ASU not as good as AZ?

Oct 6, 5:24pm

ASU is that much worse than Arizona?

CycloneCoug

Oct 6, 5:26pm

Arizona St is bad, for what it's worth. Not sure why Vegas hates BYU so much

RGGeemer

Oct 6, 5:24pm

Arizona State is bad? Since when?

BYUFootballisBack

Like the last decade? They beat Texas st by 3 and Kansas by 4 this year.

RGGeemer

Oct 6, 5:44pm

ASU is good this year

Oct 6, 5:44pm

Based on what?

RGGeemer

Being 4-1

2FarGone

Oct 6, 6:31pm

Sure. Barely snuck past kansas and Texas state. I don't think they are that good

RGGeemer

Oct 6, 6:43pm

They are better than Arizona

2FarGone

I'd take the Wildcats

Disrespect. Love it. Use it Kalani.

Oct 6, 5:25pm

Bettors think Arizona > ASU. They also continue to doubt BYU, despite BYU being

And apparently Utah is better than BYU

The lines don't mean that's what the betting experts think will happen. The lines mean that the betting experts expect

This! Lines are set to draw bets first and foremost.

No, not really. Lines are set to make money for the sports book. You can't

Agree with your first part. Disagree with your last line. If BYU fans not

Because that’s what it takes to get even money on each side of the bet.

Who’s playing qb for Utah?

Makes sense to me.

Rankings mean nothing to Vegas. And BYU is probably not as talented as

Counterpoint: the line opened at BYU +1 so moving 4.5 points shows whatever

Arizona has star power. People are willing to bet on that. Simple as that

No worries. We can settle all of that on Saturday.

Oct 6, 6:12pm

Arizona’s record is deceiving. It is a talented team that can beat us if we aren’t playing at our best

runningryan

Oct 6, 6:22pm

Betting lines are to encourage betting. BYU bettors probably need encouragement

WVU_Prof

Oct 6, 6:25pm

This is what I was thinking. BYU fans probably bet less than other fan bases, so the books have to put the line lower

vegasnative

Oct 6, 8:46pm

This is why the playoff will be a huge improvement to past systems. Likely

Oct 6, 6:28pm

The sooner you realize UU is the most over-hyped team in America, the better...

COACHdrn

Oct 6, 6:28pm

We have no proven run game.

Boring

Oct 6, 6:36pm

Vegas has undervalued BYU by about 14 points per game this year.

CasualFan

Oct 6, 6:40pm

Lines that you feel disrespected with are very fortuitous to you as a bettor

archie

Oct 6, 7:32pm

Utah is the BEST.

You're overlooking the obvious, however. In order to achieve a rough 50-50

It's all based on trying to get the most bets on the game.

^^ This. Vegas doesn’t “hate” BYU. Reasonable to conclude BYU fans don’t bet. 🙂

Did you see AZ play?

Betting lines should be avoided by people on cougarboard.

Getting 50-50 betting requires you to set generally prophetic lines. If your

AZ should have won last night. They are good. Will be a very tough game.
