Line v PSU jumped to UM by 12; news?
November 2nd, 2018 at 1:19 PM ^
Franklin shot off his mouth about our secondary holding. Bulletin board material.
November 2nd, 2018 at 1:30 PM ^
Cellphone battery dying, but heard definitively that
November 2nd, 2018 at 2:40 PM ^
It's ok EGJ, charge your phone. I'll let the board know - Franklin somehow has found a way to already use all his timeouts a full day before the game.
November 2nd, 2018 at 1:32 PM ^
Yes. The news is that they need more people to bet on PSU to even out their books.
For the (insert galactic scale number here) time, the spread is about leveling bets, NOT what anyone thinks the actual score difference will be.
November 2nd, 2018 at 1:45 PM ^
The question is: If it was roughly even betting at 10.5, why did people all of a sudden start betting on Michigan enough to move the line to 12.5? That's a huge shift a day before the game. If this had happened on Monday, your reasoning makes more sense. Seemingly, something changed to make people bet on Michigan.
November 2nd, 2018 at 1:53 PM ^
the spread moved because the betting wasn’t even.
November 2nd, 2018 at 2:10 PM ^
Circles here?
And why did the betting make such a dramatic shift.... THAT is the question.
November 2nd, 2018 at 7:07 PM ^
betting limits increase later in the week
November 2nd, 2018 at 1:40 PM ^
The reason is simple. People are reading and absorbing the Don Brown press conference transcript. This isn’t Happy Jack City. Penn State is in for a world of hurt.
November 2nd, 2018 at 2:01 PM ^
"This isn't Happy Jack City" would be a sweet tagline for this blog.

Tarik Black was spotted burning our excellent secondary in practice.
Just a guess.
;-)

This is odd because as of yesterday it appeared to be that 62% of the consensus was PSU and the points. I would have expected the line to move the other way to balance it out. This is why I stay away from betting.
November 2nd, 2018 at 2:00 PM ^
Speaking of interesting betting lines, I see Bovada has ND as a 10.5 favorite at Northwestern. 6:15 pm kick. I am tempted to put money on Northwestern.
November 2nd, 2018 at 2:07 PM ^
Strongly disagree. Nebraska will score at least 21 on offense. If you factor in one OSU turnover or a big special teams play, that line becomes very difficult to cover.
November 2nd, 2018 at 2:22 PM ^
I feel that UM is going to win by two or more touchdowns.
November 2nd, 2018 at 2:43 PM ^
secfans.com adjusted their model?
November 2nd, 2018 at 3:09 PM ^
Sorry dudes it was me. I put beaucoup bucks down. Ben Mason will rush for 6 TDs
November 2nd, 2018 at 4:48 PM ^
...after making his bed.
Every day, in the morning, me and Poggi wake up, and we yell at each other! And then we make our beds!
...
And it gets our day going!

A heavy unusual amount of bets were probably recently placed by people who just feel Michigan will easily win the game, especially with the possibility that McSorley may not be fully healthy.
November 2nd, 2018 at 4:11 PM ^
Glad I got in at -10 when the line first opened.
November 2nd, 2018 at 4:15 PM ^
All this means is Floyd Mayweather got his bet in.
November 2nd, 2018 at 4:20 PM ^
Was I blinded or was it McSorley that ran for a 50 yard sprint after he was “injured??”
Smoke and mirrors. McSorley looks as healthy as it gets, halfway into the season for a true dual-threat QB.
November 2nd, 2018 at 4:23 PM ^
Vegas found out that Franklin plans to punt on first down!
November 2nd, 2018 at 4:41 PM ^
I wouldn't call a 1/2 point increase a "jump"
November 2nd, 2018 at 4:46 PM ^
It jumped 2 points.
November 2nd, 2018 at 4:51 PM ^
I didn't quite catch it, but Sam and Ira mentioned that Kwity Paye said something in his news conference that implied that Rashan Gary is playing.
I should add that they said something afterwards like "yeah Gary will be back this year." So it wasn't definitive for PSU.
November 2nd, 2018 at 7:09 PM ^
yes, news is they're getting pounded tomorrow.
