Opening game lines
Don't know where this guy got these spreads but they were posted on AGS. We certainly look attractive at -5.5. vs CCSU (2011 game notwithstanding).

Central Connecticut State at James Madison.... 434 James Madison -5½ -120

RE: Opening game lines
I mean ... any betting experts willing to tell me what I can make if I put $10, $20 or $100 down on that line?

RE: Opening game lines
You need to k ow if they are juicing that line before you can know the payout. I have found they often do that with FCS lines and that will affect the payout.

5dimes has it at -3.5 on a -120 line. So, you lay $12 to win $10. Still pretty attractive:-)

That's probably what the line is being based on. People just looking at the 2011 game, not knowing anything else about the teams, and then creating a line based on that score.

Hasn't so far:-)

Although, I do not put enough down to really move a line. I always find it interesting that both lines are posted at a -120. Who the heck would take CCSU with only 3.5 and not get at least a -110?
