Hurricane Delta sends college football spreads plummeting

If you took the overs yesterday on SEC Football games, you’ll be fuming because you didn’t read the weather.

Hurricane Delta – which has gone from a relatively pedestrian 30mph to a Cat 4, 130mph monster that’s bearing down on the Alabama/Mississippi Coast, has caused its own havoc with the bettors and bookies alike.

For the SEC games involved, it seems that LSU is talking to Missouri about moving the game from Baton Rouge to Columbia, because Saturday could see a Cat 2 hurricane sitting nearby the Baton Rouge area, which could make the stadium and stuff inaccessible.

The reason for the potential move is why LSU’s spread has ONLY dropped from 54 1/2 to 52 1/2.

Then of course there’s Ole Miss hosting of Alabama, which is certain to be hammered by the rain and 13mph wind speeds (probably gusting nearer 30mph). The over/under was 79.5 (the open) and now its fallen to 68.5.

Also impacted is  Arkansas’ trip to Auburn (also certain to get the wet and 12mph wind speeds) has fallen to 47 1/2 from 60 1/2 (having seen both offenses, this still seems a little steep!).
