Then and Now
It’s always fascinating to see how much the landscape changes over the course of just 2 short months. Ask Florida fans if they envisioned fighting for bowl eligibility with only 3 games to go or the diehard Auburn faithful if they thought come November they’d be 2 wins away from playing for the conference title. With so many marquee match-ups still left to play, here are the updated game of the year prices (courtesy of the LVH) from the beginning of the year and how they've moved. Always remember when reviewing pointspreads and future lines team’s are never as good (or bad) as their last game…unless they’re the Purdue Boilermakers.
