I don't understand why people read so much into betting lines. All the line's purpose is, is to get 50% of the money on each side of it. In some ways it reflects something about teams, but mainly its about a ton of different things: how much people bet on a given team, perception, etc.

Yep, line movement only tells you which way the money is flowing.
 



The line also moved dramatically for the Iowa game. When it hit 16 I was all over the Hawks. 3 points sounds about right for this game.
 
I think the game will come down to the last drive one way or the other. Odds are pretty high it will be a one score game at that point.
 




Interesting. I thought it would be closer to a TD, primarily because I expect the crowd to lean heavily NU. Makes sense though. It is very difficult to beat a team twice in the same season.
 
With all the re-matching going on lately, I sure hope this changes Saturday. The Huskers were so dominated by Wash in the rematch game, I admit not taking them seriously. The Huskers sure didn't. It would be worse by a factor of 1000 if the Huskers don't play well this week.

In most sports books, it's still NU -2.5 ... a minority have moved to -3. The O/U has moved to 49 in more books than not (from 48).
