I'm just saying if the money being bet moves the over/under to 62 and the line to -6, then that's the score being wagered on.  I know it's not a prediction of the final score, but it's where the score currently stands per the money coming in.

No, you get it. There's just this yearly run of posts where people think the line is the Vegas prediction on the score and not their idea of what the betting public is leaning towards. While those two often coincide, Vegas is setting the line they believe will get the most action on both sides. They're not predicting what the score will be, they're predicting what people think the score will be. They're setting a line on people, not the game.

Ya right next thing you know you will be trying to convince people that white uniforms aren’t actually cooler than dark uniforms.

That's one of my favorite posts. Don't preemptively make someone not bring it up. There's a TBP poster out there right now who's thinking about making the point that our greens for a day game are a disadvantage.

Yes, not sure how anyone can see 62 points in this game, both offenses are offensive.  We look like more than a 6 point dog on the road against the almighty P5 when we are a middling or worse G5.  Parlay large and enjoy a nice payday seems like a home run it may make Saturday a little easier to digest. 

Agreed I think this will be a game where no one gets to 20
