    I concur, and that is my only concern. I don't like rivals, but Tebow is one of the best things for college football in sometime. I would hate to see him get hurt worse. Ultimately Meyer would skate, and we would get blamed.

    I have a feeling that the point spread will be dropping in the coming days.:geaux:

    ESPN Radio just reported Florida by 11 1/2. And that's with Tebow not having practiced Monday. If he starts practicing, look for the spread to be two TDs or more.

    Few outside of Baton Rouge believe in the Tigers. :tigerhead

    A fountain of misinformation...

    Spread is around 8 to 8.5 depending on the various gambling houses. Regardless of QB it won't move much from here.

    Its not 11. Check out vegasinsider.com has every line of every major sports book onshore and off shore.
    8.5 is the general consensus.

    If you find a place that will give me 11 points please let me know. Because I will jump all over that.

    OK, you pros explain something to me. Let's assume for the sake of discussion that the line opened at -11. Any insight as to how the Vegas oddsmakers arrived at the number. That's hard to believe considering the uncertainty of Tebow's status. Do they really think we're that overrated?
