Alabama -6 at Texas A&M, and -11.5 hosting LSU. Otherwise, Tide favored by at least 17 points in EVERY game.

RJ Bell ‏@RJinVegas 5h
Alabama has been favored in 41 straight games. Crimson Tide favored in all TEN 2013 games released by Golden Nugget today.

RJ Bell ‏@RJinVegas 4h
Auburn +24 hosting Alabama, the biggest home underdog for Auburn in recorded spread history (since 1980) - via Golden Nugget

RJ Bell ‏@RJinVegas 3h
Georgia -6 hosting LSU (via Golden Nugget). Only once EVER (1999) have #Dawgs been this big a favorite over #Tigers.

RJ Bell ‏@RJinVegas 3h
Georgia -4 over Florida. Only once since 1992 has #Dawgs been this big of a favorite over #Gators.

RJ Bell ‏@RJinVegas 1h

RJ Bell ‏@RJinVegas 2h
USC plays Oregon St for 26th time in recorded Vegas history this season. First time EVER #Trojans underdogs (+2 on road)

RJ Bell ‏@RJinVegas 2h
Penn State underdogs by a field goal or more in only 2 games (at Ohio St; at Wisconsin) - via Golden Nugget. #CFB

RJ Bell ‏@RJinVegas 2h
Oregon favored in EVERY game (via Golden Nugget). Closest game: -4 at Stanford. Every other game -12 or more!

RJ Bell ‏@RJinVegas 3h
Notre Dame underdogs in only ONE GAME this season: +5.5 at Stanford the last game of the season (via Golden Nugget)

RJ Bell ‏@RJinVegas 2h
3rd year in a row Notre Dame favored (-5) over USC. #Trojans were favored over #Irish 10 straight years before that.

RJ Bell ‏@RJinVegas 3h
Louisville favored in EVERY GAME this season (via Golden Nugget). Closest: -3 at Cincinnati. Every other game double digits!

RJ Bell ‏@RJinVegas 3h
3rd time in last 5 seasons Clemson favored over Florida St (-2 via Golden Nugget). It had NEVER happened before that.

 

They are giving aTm 7 points for the home field advantage it looks like.

 

Am I reading that right, is Ole Miss favored over us at this point in this article?

 

I hope the Tigers read this and get so pissed of they make Las Vegas eat those words.

 

Hard to say what advantage they are giving Ole Miss at home. If they are giving Ole Miss three at home, they are also thinking LSU is a better team by a point.

The thing about the Rebels that is probably catching their eye is the increase of right at 17 points per contest last season. They were scoring right at 34 points a game at home last year versus 22 on the road. It's all about the point production at home versus the road when determining home field advantage.

52 for the over/under versus Georgia is interesting.

 

The telling signs of an amazing run Bama has been on. Bama being the favorite in 41 straight games. Being a 24 point favorite over the barn at the barn, priceless.

 

Don't get me wrong Ole Miss could very well beat us, they always play us either very close or we beat the shit out of them, and have pulled off a few big wins vs us in the past decade and change.

 

OM usually plays us tougher in Tiger Stadium then in Oxford except for a couple of years since 2000.
