And you don't understand why Team A would be a preseason favorite to win that game? Well, that about sums up your sports knowledge. I hate to correct the general but Team B is favored over Team A on every Vegas sportsbook that allows future bets on that game. Vegas has also set the O/U on wins this season at 6.5 for MSU and 5.5 for OM. Are you ready to admit that MSu will win more games than OM will?

You have an easier schedule, so if both teams are equal, you should win a game more. We both have 3 weak OOC teams. We play at Wake Forest. You play at Georgia Tech. Wake is picked higher in the ACC. From the East, you play Vandy, Kentucky, and Tennessee. We play Florida, South Carolina, and Vandy. They obviously consider schedule strength when they set over/unders on win total, and you obviously have the more favorable schedule this year, which would explain the difference in our over/under totals.

MSU plays UT, Vandy, and UK, we play UGA, Vandy, and SC. Advantage MSU. So yes I totally understand why Vegas is expecting MSU to win more games and I also understand why Vegas has us as a favorite over MSU as a futures bet.
