What's amazing is that it wasn't that long ago that "The Greek" was actually talking about pointspreads on NFL telecasts...

I've looked through a lot of my reference stuff, and it appears to have opened at -3. I sent emails to a couple of Las Vegas "old timers" I know to see if they have any information since I wasn't old enough to drive at the time, let alone bet ; )

The Pig, a very solid 3.5. What people didn't realize, was how big the home field(Palo Alto) was going to mean in this contest.
