Before settling in with the Week 1 Locks, Barton Simmons and Chip Patterson welcome SportsLine's Kenny White to the show for an insider's look from Las Vegas into the strategy behind setting college football lines. Barton and Chip first discuss the difference between fighter pilots and bus drivers at the quarterback position (4:00), then Kenny breaks down the art of creating power ratings and teams he has valued differently than the public (23:00), whether or not to follow reverse line movement (30:00), some of his picks for Week 1 (35:00) and how many points factors like coaching, home field advantage and series history factor into a betting line.
