Sporting News has an overview of how the bets are flowing in Las Vegas on this college football season. You won’t find most of the action too surprising, but it does seem like there’s some money being thrown Georgia’s way right now. At the Wynn, Georgia’s national title odds have gone from 50-1 to 35-1. And one of the computer sites has moved the odds on the Dawgs winning the SEC from 13-2 to 4-1. How much of that do you figure is smart money versus fan enthusiasm.
Speaking of the latter, who’s betting Florida to win the national title at the MGM? 18-1?
I’ll take the 1.

Does they let you do those bets in Vegas? I would love put risk 1,800 to win 100 that Florida doesn’t win the national championship.

As to winning the SEC, UT has gone from 15-1 to 50-1. “You can fool all of the people some of the time. You can even fool some of the people all of the time. But you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.” Abraham Lincoln

I just can’t get a really good feel for the Dawgs’ chances this year. The o-line situation is so fuzzy. It seems like years in which they are supposed to dominate, they underwhelm, and vice versa. I do have a feeling that Theus is going to finally come into his own this year, though.

At least the betting UT fans are not totally stupid. 15-1 not even 50-1 maybe.
