Early Lines

[Spurhunter]

Some of the early lines for Saturday are pretty wild:
LSU-18 Arkansas
alabama-7 Ole Miss
A&M-8 Auburn
Oregon-19.5 Colorado

Is Oregon that good? Arkansas and Ole Miss that bad? A&M hasn't been impressive at all and they are -8 over Auburn?

 

[Bamamonts]

I don't see how Bama is favored to win. I might see 2.5 but nothing like 7.

LSU, A&M, and bama are all at home so I guess that explains it a little, but those lines look big to me. However, the Vegas oddsmakers are a whoooooole lot better at handicapping games than I am.
