Today is Christmas Eve for College Football fans as after a tumultous and scandal ridden off season, we can finally watch the sport we love on the field. I have to admit after reading The Gold Sheet's special ticker I thought I had just read the local crime blotter! It has been hard to igonore all of the off season issues and it has had its impact on betting lines as well.
After getting into a punch up at a Baton Rouge Bar LSU has seen their starting quarterback Jordan Jefferson and linebacker Joshua Johns be suspended for their opening game against Oregon at Texas Stadium. This line opened at LSU -3 and currently is back on the board at the LV Hilton at Oregon -3.5. Meanwhile with 13 current Miami (Florida) players being ruled ineligable, because of their dealings with booster/criminal Nevin Shapiro the line has had even more of a significant shift as it has moved from Miami -6 to Maryland as a 3 point favorite.
But tomorrow night when UNLV is led to the slaughter house in Madison, Wisconsin on ESPN, we can all finally put this behind us and watch some football. Tomorrow I will make my picks for Week 1 and will continue to do so throughout the college football season. Hopefully together we can have a profitable 2011 season!
