Back when Geno was still playing at WVU there was a line about mid-season that had WVU as a dog facing Texas Tech. It didn't reflect the public's opinion in any shape or form. I could only wonder what they knew about the game that we didn't. The only answer I came up with is there's a lot of faith in Tuberville, and TTU, in Vegas.

That game ended with TTU winning, by a LARGE margin: 35 points.

Now, we have word coming out of Vegas that Miami (FL) is going to be favored over FSU? According to RJ_Bell that looks to be the case.

Is this the reasons Miami may be favored?

Gambling Allegations Latest Trouble For Jameis Winston -

Doing his best to justify the Shameis name...

SEC's fault I'm sure.

Hahaha! He just keeps getting framed.

I've not looked into this much, at all, but from what I've gathered Rabb is a player at UAB.

IF he's suspended for Saturday's game there may be something to this story after all. It's certainly telling that the rumor about FSU being a dog comes up last night and then this breaks today...

Hope Miami crushes them 10000-0.

It's being sweeping under the rug.
