Forum, provide your explanation(s) as to why these lines are suspect...
Why is #5 Wisconsin dogged to Illinois?
-- An inaccurate/hyped perception of Illinois after a 7-pt win over Penn St? Or, is it the public and/or Vegas coming to realization that Wisconsin is overrated, with a defense that moves in slow motion? Are the Illini legitimate? After all, they should be undefeated had Mizzou not returned two fumbles for TDs of 65yds and 100yds in the first week.
Why is #12 UGA dogged to Tenn?
-- Is it that big of a homefield advantage? UGA primed for a letdown? I don't care for trends, but for those that do, Tenn is 10-28 ATS in their last 38 home games. This game has trap tattooed all over it.
Why is a once-ranked TCU dogged to an untested Wyoming?
-- After all, the only decent test Wyoming has had was Boise St, in which they lost by 10 pts. And Wyoming wasn't all that impressive versus Ohio or Utah St. TCU has dropped games to AF and Texas, but at least they have faced decent opponents. And is homefield that big of an advantage to Wyoming? This line really makes no sense.
Kansas St plays Auburn tight in Auburn, and weeks later beat Texas in Austin (which I called b/c of Freeman's mobility), and K State is rewarded with a favoritism of only 3 pts to Kansas?
-- I know Kansas is 4-0 all coming in convincing fashion, but c'mon! KSU is a road tested team that has shown they can step up when needed. Now they get a favorable crowd, as their biggest games have been on the road. Rivalry game, Big 12 wide open, Kansas St is ready to prove something. Or am I falling right into the trap?
