PrintGolden Nugget Casino, as it has done for the last five years, released its college football Games of the Year lines today. There are 111 games in all, most of which are marquee matchups between BCS teams projected to be in the top 25.
The games went on the board at 10 a.m. local time, and dozens of local sharps—armed with notebooks, preseason magazines and highlighters—waited in line to become the first to bet into the openers.
Golden Nugget allows maximum bets of $1,000, and bettors are only able to place three wagers at a time before being required to return to the end of the line.
Last year, the Nugget offered lines on 104 games, and they moved by an average of 4.2 points.
We’ll continue to update line movements throughout the day, and we’ll compare them to our point spreads for all 798 college football games released last week.
