PrintThe LVH SuperBook in Las Vegas released “Games of the Year” lines for roughly 100 matchups before the college football season started.
But they also keep those Games of the Year on the board throughout the season, updating the lines based on performance, so we can get a very good idea of which teams are over- or under-performing by comparing the opening numbers to the current ones.
This isn’t an all-inclusive list, but here’s a handful of teams that jump out.
Teams better than expected: Alabama, Arizona State, Florida State, West Virginia
Teams worse than expected: Arkansas, Michigan, Oklahoma, Virginia Tech, Wisconsin
Below are all of the remaining Games of the Year at the LVH SuperBook, with both the opening and current point spreads. More than half (48) of the 77 games have already moved by at least a field goal, while seven have moved by 10 points or more.
* * *
Green: Moved by at least a field goal
Red: Moved by at least a touchdown
Blue: Moved by double digits
