This UGA-UT is really interesting from a gambling perspective. Unfortunately, it looks like a good sign for UGA.
The books are all taking a position on UGA -8. Money has been pouring in on UT since it opened up. Limits went up yesterday and still 78% of the wagers and 90% of the money is on UT but the line hasn't budged off of 8. The books aren't looking for two way action here, they're looking to have a position on UGA.
It might not *just* be because of this game though. They could have liability on Hooker Heisman and UT season futures whether that be SEC/playoff/natty. Just spitballing here. Either way, it's interesting to watch.
I got some UT +8.5 at open and was hoping for it to come down to +7. No dice
Maybe @xenoabe can shed some light
