For those of you that like sports betting, I've got some interesting Auburn lines that I found.The sports books have been getting Auburn wrong all year. I got Auburn to win the BCS championship preseason at 100 to 1 odds (my 25 dollar bet pays out $2500 if we can pull it off). Fast forward eight weeks and the odds are 3.5 to 1.
If you go to sportsbook.com they put out some Auburn lines today that look like easy money. First off they have Cam Newton paying out almost even money on odds to win the Heisman race at -120. I would have thought he would have been more like -400 since by all accounts he is the clear front runner and only needs to stay healthy to wrap it up.
Auburn is only favored by 5.5 over UGA. UGA lost to Colorado. UGA is 4-4. UGA lost to USC by 11 to Arkansas by 7 and Miss State by 12. Auburn beat all of those teams and yet we are only favored by 5.5. I know AJ Green is a badass but I think we will be able to win by at least a TD against UGA at home.
Then there is the iron bowl line. Alabama is favored by 8! The balls!
To take look at the lines go to sportsbook.com and click on the "Games of the Year" tab under NCAA futures.
UGA has been coming on strong lately. My biggest fear is that Aaron Murray goes all Matt Stafford a la 2006 on us. As far as the line on the Iron Bowl, that does seem a little off. I would have put it anywhere between Alabama (-3.5) and (-5.5).
