How much if at all do you think they influence gamblers and lines?

Rookies prob tail them, people that actually know how to gamble fade them imo

I think mex is talking about what highlights they show and how they present the teams from week to week.

Highlights can be like brainwashing if you think about it

loyalties to teams are blinders to alot of that tho, both of them are huge

[Romanowski]

they dont affect the original line but for all the reasons jahred pointed out

if they can influence enough people they would move lines on action

whether they do influence is the question...personally dont think much

For the last two days leading up to tonights game. All they kept showing and talking about was how G. Tech ran Miami out of the stadium. Never heard much about Miami at all.

Would be interesting to see the number of bets placed after the gameday crew calls out their upsets of the day on saturdays.

I agree though. More rookies than anything.

I know I used to fade Corso all the time...

Herbie is very sharp IMO

[RanPicks]

agree.

[Romanowski]

herbie is very sharp, usually

not only his analysis but when he calls games

can you imagine how hard it was for him during USCs 4th quarter winning drive

[Yankee23]

I ALWAYS take a nice long look at his upset pick of the week

exactly...there was a guy on the radio last week(kasillias) talking about how Notre Dame was going to slaughter Michigan and that USC would do the same to OSU...

He's totally entitled to his opinion, but to say these guys know more than the next guy is bull, especially when it comes to the fantasy monkeys.
