No US Book Posting CFB Openers on Sundays?
Weekly opening college football lines normally originate offshore on Sunday afternoons. For years, Wynn would be the first Vegas book to post lines at around 3 p.m. PT, Sunday, but not anymore. I haven't found a US book yet that will be posting CFB openers on Sundays this season.
