    BYU "Games of the Year" Odds

    BYU -3 @ Ole Miss
    BYU +6 @ Texas
    BYU -5 vs. Utah
    BYU -9.5 vs. Central Florida
    BYU +3 @ TCU (in Dallas)
    BYU -4.5 @ Hawaii

    I'm somewhat surprised to see the Central Florida and Utah lines so high.

    Of all those lines, TCU plus the points seems the best value, at this time. CFU may also be a good bet, I predict that line will climb to almost 12 by kickoff.

      Forgive the stupid question. Does a -3 mean BYU is a 3 point dog?

        Opposite.

        So to start the game the score on the -3 line is

        BYU -3
        Ole Miss 0

          Add or subtract points to equalize the teams.

          So, take BYU's projected score, add 6, = Texas' projected score.
          Take BYU's projected score, minus 9.5 = Central Fla's projected score.

            So, BYU's favored to win all of its games except for the two in Texas? What's the line on the Oregon State game?
            Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

              -5 for utah. That will be -3 by gameday. Btw if its -5 that is ripe for a teaser

                I'm unfamiliar with that term as it relates to gambling.

                  You pair that bet with atleast one other and you get 6 points added. So let's say the that byu is favored by 5 and the over/under is 50 (total points scored). If I teased those two bets and took utah and the under for a $10 bet I would get Utah and 11 points and the under 56 total score. If I won both those bets I would win $9

                    I hear that Blueintheface's experience with "teasers" is all stripper-related.

                      Interesting. I had to read that twice to understand (I'm slow). I play Hold'Em and Blackjack regularly but have only sports bet 5 times in a casino with only 1 win. A noob to be sure. I have always found that my loyalties prevent me from thinking clearly and thus I avoid the inevitable stress and waste of money (for me anyway). I probably need to branch out in my gambling exploits...or there's always the alternative of shutting down that part of my life.

                      Yeah whatever.

                        They didn't list the Oregon St. line.

                            Well, I was thinking more like when my wife suggests a-romp-in-the-hay-but-only-if-I-finish-the-deck-project type of teaser but that too might work.

                              Do you think Central Florida would beat us by 9.5 points in Provo?
