"It's a profit game...that takes all the pressure off!"

Anyone?

Remember folks... odds makers set lines so they can get 50% of the people to pick Florida and 50% of the people to pick USF.

Vegas insider has Florida -17.  Not sure why I'm surprised.  I was hoping it would be -11 or so.  A 17 point dog is not a good sign.

The line opened at 17.  It has dropped to 15.5 at one service.

The line on Miami (Ohio) was like 26 1/2.

Here is to a good game that comes down to the last minute in the 4th quarter.

Hard to say someone was sandbagging when they couldn't get a snap down...

Eeeeeexcellent...the Meyer mind games are working.  >

Just did some research....UF's OOC record (minus the FSU games)....43-3 with 2 away games both losses 1991 @Syracuse 38-21 and 2003 @ Miami 38-33...average score of all games is 48-13...never played tough OOC teams other 3 games with UM(1-2) and 1 game at Syracuse. Other than that....crappy teams

Those Miami losses and the 'Cuse loss were before Meyer.

Meyer's only OOC loss while at UF was to Michigan.  Our defense was young and bad in 2007.  Now, since Meyer has arrived we've played some bad regular season OOC teams.  In Meyer's first year, they beat Wyoming and La Tech.  And then beat Iowa in the Outback Bowl.

In 2006, they beat Southern Miss and UCF both handily.  They also beat Western Carolina and Ohio State in the championship game.

In '07, Western Kentucky, Troy and FAU were wins.  And then the aforementioned loss to Michigan in Carr's last game.

In '08 we beat Hawaii, Miami-FL and the Citadel.  Then beat OU in the title game.

In '09 we beat Charleston Southern, Troy, FIU and then blasted Cincy in the Sugar Bowl.

Not many of those opponents are very good, but a few of them had decent to good seasons.

Im aware that the losses are before Meyer....I didnt list any postseason games...just regular season...just making observations

Line down to 15 - 15.5.  More dollars being placed on the Bulls.  Not good if you were waiting to wager on USF.
