Saragin is the base for the Vegas bookies use on spreads before using any other information. Excluding the occasional and true upsets, the game formula is probably the most consistent in winning,,,,,especially the money line.

For whatever ESPN's percentages are worth, they are now shifting the game in our favor against UGA. Last I saw we were at 52.3% chance to win.

So why are we a 6.5 point dog to a team ranked 4 spots below us? It can't be that big of a component on the spread or our game this weekend would be a pick em at worst.

Vegas doesn't care "who's gonna win"... they just want the money bet evenly...
MSU 88.02
UGA 85.21
2.81-2.41 (home field) = 0.40
So, if I did that correctly, Sagarin has MSU -.040
So, yes... a "pick em".... per Sagarin...
Edit: also take in to account that the further the season goes on, the more accurate the ratings become due to an increased data sample size.

So why is Georgia -6 when we are ahead in the Sagrin ratings?

Because of perception. That's it. People in Vegas still see us playing the "great" Georgia Bulldogs between the hedges.
So basically, load up on State. I should have had the balls to do it last week but didn't

almost correct... Vegas gauges how the betting public sees UGA/MSU....
If all the MSU fans started betting on MSU +6, the line would gravitate towards zero and possibly beyond... but that's unlikely...
sometimes lines will jump BOTH early AND late, as well....

Yeah that is more along what I was thinking too, but that kinda refutes the fact that Sagarin is the basis for anything that Vegas does.

I think he meant "baseline"... a starting point...
Then they'll (sometimes) move it a few/several points based on a myriad of things before putting it out there....
My guess is that they estimate a lot more money coming in on the UGAs and want to get ahead of the curve...
