That line is preposterous.  Maybe if the game were in Berkeley, but at altitude with the sieve that is the Low APR U defense?  I wish my wife were still in Reno I'd have put down a good amount on the Utes at that spread.

Speaking of gambling. . . Would someone explain to me why all these real money fantasy site, e.g. FanDual, are legal but it is illegal to bet on games online?  I don't get it.

Fantasy games are deemed to be games of skill, not games of luck.  Similar to why there are card rooms with various kinds of poker in many parts of the country but not full-blown casinos.
