I never insinuated this. I made the statement above in humor hoping for a win, but I would not be terribly disappointed if we lose a close game in a well played game. And, yes, for the most part, the Vegas oddsmakers DO know what they're doing. They get paid to do this for a living, and are usually right more times than not as far as win/loss goes. That being said, I've seen oddsmakers look stupid over the years when a heavily favored team choked. So these odds are not gospel either. And, from the looks of the poll, it looks like the majority here agree that a win here indicates progress. So I don't think my statement above was out of line.
