Has anyone seen a line on the game?
Sounds like SMU's defense was awesome at Nevada. Play like that again and we'll come out on top of this one, guys!

Knucklestang (I think) said in another thread that SMU is an 11-point favorite .... even though we're averaging 8 points per game. That's amazing.
Then again, you have to figure that the line isn't set based on how many points some "expert" thinks will represent the final margin. The line is set at the number the experts think will generate the most action on both sides of the line. Somehow I'm surprised that they think UTEP will get any bets made now.
If nothing else, this should generate more betting on the game than there otherwise might have been.
