Texas is -17 and the ML is -800

Georgia is -18 and the ML is -1600

What gives? Pinnacle tipping their hand that Texas Tech is a live dog?

I've seen this a lot as well. I think it's a "Cover your ass" tactic by the books on those games they are less sure of. Sort of tacky but almost every book does it. For example look at the money lines for all of the favorites of -7 at a book, you'll be sure to see some dissention.

I'm sure it relates to their action on those particular games, don't you think?

Olympic has the following

Georgia -19' -1400
Texas -17 -800
Boise St -18 -1600
Ohio St -16 -1000

Not sure what the differance is, unless more people are playing TT on the moneyline and the others they are not.

Guess that's it, people are booking that longshot TT ml play.

Have no coin on either game, but I just don't see Texas Tech pulling an upset.

Still suprised with such a large disparity.
