Looking Back at What Was Ahead
How good are the oddsmakers in Las Vegas? Back on Aug. 13, you could have walked into the sportsbook at the Las Vegas Hilton and put your money down on any number of college games. And now you can see for yourself just how good the oddsmakers were back then, a month before the first of these games were played. The list is rather long, so we've stashed it in the comments section below this post. With just a few exceptions, it's truly amazing how on the money the oddsmakers were on many of these games and how close they were to the actual line that was posted the week of the game.
