Early Ark lines

[Music City Hog]

Sorry if this has been posted.  You can place these bets on 5dimes right now:

Ark -34.5 vs UTEP
Ark -22 vs Toledo
Ark -16 vs Texas Tech
Ark +1.5 vs Tennessee

[rhames]

Seems about right

[hawgmasta]

That's some pretty good love from Vegas. Basically at tennesee they're calling it a wash; since it's only 1.5 they may actually favor the hogs a bit were just playing on the road.

If Arkansas was playing them at home we would be -13 and -6 if neutral site.



Is that about right hogville gamblers?

[PaintballHog]

Man, I don't know *hit about sports gambling.

I'm assuming this is good.

[soooieman]

I would say -6 at home and -3 neutral site vs UT

[Paul]

i thought home field advantage is 3 pts

[soooieman]

in the NFL 3 pts is the norm.. You will see anywhere from 2-6 depending on the team/how tough the atmosphere is/trends..  in college

[soooieman]

For example.. Vandy wouldn't get many pts for being at home..

[DeuceHawg]

We would be a 1.5 point favorite at a neutral site and a 4.5 favorite at home.

[soooieman]

agree to disagree.. I'm a gambling addict, sadly

[ChauvinistPig]

I may have to bet the TTech and Tenner games with these lines. I don't want to jinx my Hogs though...

[HotlantaHog]

I can't bet rationally on the Hogs, or for that matter college football overall... I am sure if I spent a lot of time analyzing data I might be able to find some bets that made economic sense ... and applaud those of you rational enough to look for market inefficiencies to exploit ... over time I have found I am just not that good or don't put in enough time to give me a real edge.

We'd be about -1.5 at home. About a push on a neutral field.

[reddogjcss]

Playing Tenn at home and still haven't proved we can win on the road I'll take it.
If game was in Fayetteville -7

[hawgmasta]

This is what I was thinking

[jry04]

Home team gets more than 1.5 pts in their favor in college football. We would be a bigger favorite at home. In the NFL, the formula typically adds 3 points to the home team. In college it is a little different based on where the game is played, and the magnitude of the game. It isn't much more than 3, though. I can promise you that Vegas thinks Neyland is worth every bit of 3 points.

[hawgwild child]

We would be a 1.5 point favorite at a neutral site and a 4.5 favorite at home.

I'd agree with that

[PIGINAPOKE]

I see the Tenn game as a back breaker. They are better than you think. Win it we roll on, Lose it walls fall down. Hog fans better circle this game. It means more than most think.. Just sayin

It is the most important game of the season but we could lose it and lose the next week at Bama and still end up winning 10 games after the bowl, I think.

[hogoffate]

I disagree respectfully, I think A&M is most important game for us; we have to get over that hurdle; we lose that one and it will be hard to go to Knoxville with any confidence.
We win then we go there with confidence, pull out the win, the have to go to Bama the next week.
All SEC games are important of course, but we have to get off on the right foot, in my opinion.

ahhhh efff it, let's win them all !!!

WPS!!! :razorback:

[OS2 (SW) Razor Back]

Screw Vegas!!  Hogs win!!

Just curious, what is the line against us?

[micali]

Is Tenner that much better than the hogs? It seems like everyone is scared of them.  I say we are the better team and we will win.  I think TN is getting favored just by their name.  I know they have been down but with the hint of success they turn into world beaters.

[ldfergu]

agree to disagree.. I'm a gambling addict, sadly

Then you're the person to ask: where do you go to bet the hogs win the national championship this year? I know our odds are low so I'm lookin to turn a big profit 

[oldman1015]

Screw Vegas!!  Hogs win!!

vegas doesn't care who wins. they set the line and adjust it to get the same amount bet on each team. they then collect 10% profit from each loser.

[HogWall Jackson]

We will beat Tennessee @ Knoxville.

[Jeff "hogfanintx" Anderson]

If Arkansas was playing them at home we would be -13 and -6 if neutral site.

No sir.  Home field generally speaking is 3 to 3.5   Points

Totally agree with A&M being the most important game

I'm the same way.  I may make a couple of friendly-low-$$ bets every once in awhile but never any real money.

Kind of reminds me the way everyone acted about Ole Miss a few years back.  They played .500 football followed by a really good recruiting class and next thing you know all of the talking heads had them as the next best thing. 

[Aggie96]

Totally agree with A&M being the most important game

This will be a very important game for both teams

[Svrdhd]

Tennessee is getting much more press right now than A&M mainly due to their recruiting the last couple of years.
  The bigger issue is the rotation of cross-division foes means that a W or L literally hangs out there for years until you meet again. Win or lose against A&M, the conversation will be reset next year. There is a current thread about the FL loss in 2009,  it is a wound that won't heal for many until we play them again.

[BluegrassRazorback]

I'm glad they are calling the UTenn game so close

That EOE-K game is looking more and more as the jumping off place for a significant season for either Arkansas or UTenn

A win at UTenn and I wouldnt be suprised Ark gets a 10 win season

It's looking to be a great year

Hog futures are UP

[Justagp]

Whether they're up or down, Tennessee always seems to get positive press as does Texas. I personally find the big T paired with the orange color to be very annoying.

[nwahogfan1]

I would say -6 at home and -3 neutral site vs UT

Sounds more like it to me.
