It's not like games where you can run stats to get a baseline. All they're doing is trying to balance out the incoming bets. So a lot of people are betting on Frost an thus the line is moving. But that doesn't necessarily mean anything in the real world. It could be right. But it doesn't have to be. This is a good point Mav. Link to comment

But last night Frost was +700, far behind Mullen.... and within 12 hours he's even and the easy favorite. That kind of jump doesn't just happen when Vegas has money in the game. Obviously not a sure thing though as pointed out with Riley. But I'd still go with Mullen/Norvell. If they really know something they pull it. That's when you get scared. 4 Link to comment

But you obviously don't follow sportslines regularly if that's your basis for thinking they are wrong.... and I don't mean that as an insult by any means, good for you if stay away from it. However, anyone who follows lines/bets knows Vegas is pretty damn good... that's why they are still in business. Link to comment

I personally don’t like what all of this gambling has done to college sports. 1 Link to comment

See Mav's post. Admittedly, I follow game lines much more than prop bets, and to see a game line swing that fast means something big happened. After what Mav pointed out and thinking about it I could see the bigger swings in prop bets being fairly common. Some of my worry is faded. Edited November 1, 2017 by Warrior10 Link to comment

junior4949 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 While I have no idea who will be Florida's next coach, I did read the other day that when Mullen was at Florida he didn't exactly get along with the administration. I also read that the general assumption is that Florida will not go after another coach that isn't coaching a power 5 already which throws out both Frost and Norvell. The name this article kept dropping was Chip Kelly. Link to comment

The name this article kept dropping was Chip Kelly. An article I read, says things are a little better in administration now with Mullen, in large part to the fact that he can develop QB's and no one else they can find has. Link to comment
ADS Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Florida won’t go after Chip Kelly because SEC administration apparently does not want to bring in a coach with previous NCAA violations. Link to comment
