Notes: -5 games shaded in gray with notable reverse line movement -Public all over road favorites Cal and Cincinnati -Public on road dogs Mississippi St. and Buffalo, but Vegas has given bettors more points -3 of the top 4 public bets are Big 12 teams
The public is on MSstate? I don't see it. Vandy's right tackle could be a big problem though if its that same young soft replacement they rolled out during the lsu game. If not Vandy would run all over that team, still should
Using Pinnacle numbers. They usually have the sharpest lines. MissSt opened at +8. WashSt opened at -7. Miami opened at +17. To call someone "wrong" is a little assumptive considering there are hundreds of books out there that open at all sorts of numbers.
Had it going from 4.5 to 5. Notable for sure because % is over 70, but I guess I overlooked it because it was just a half a point to a normally meaningless number.
Then there's no need to nitpick. I went by the opening lines at Pinnacle. There are no "official" opening lines.
How much do points usually move with the public? Like say you have 60% on one side, how many points would you expect it to change against it?
Public went 23-26 (47%) Pretty subpar week for the public. 4-3 (57%) on games above 75% but 15-20 (43%) above 60%. 2-4 in games with reverse line movement.
