Means you'd have to bet $4K to win $100 for A&M's first game. It's the kind of line we should have had against Samford. Makes no sense at all. They should take A&M off the board, but maybe there are a few suckers out there taking it. It's like putting your old washer out at the garage sale with a $20K price tag on it.

I mean - is this just Vegas saying "stay away until we know if A&M is playing a good team or a Group of 5 speed bump?"

It can't be because even against Tulane or North Texas we wouldn't be that heavy of a favorite. It must just be a mistake.
