Michigan down to 28.5 in Bookmaker...WTF?

[GoSooners]

Anybody heard anything on this game? Bookmaker is about 5 points below the rest of the books.

I see a blocked FG attempt at the end of the game with a 60 yard return by Appy State and a straight upset ML winner...oh, wait...that happened a few years ago.

lots of big movements this week, and all based on a ton of speculation

there's a lot of unknowns heading into week 1, I just don't read anything into the line movements other than money is piling up on one team. Especially at this point in the season

I like Micigan, but gong to wait and see

That was more than just a movement...

Jumped on it at -28

totals move big
some sides move big
they dont always mean it's a winner, obviously.

sometimes i feel like books just move lines to get the steam chasers to bite on the wrong side

That's what I think too.

Sooner I spent most of this week in Okc and Norman. My nephew just committed to the Sooners on a baseball scholarship so we'll be spending some more time in Sooner territory for years to come.

It would make more sense if it had went down to 31 ish. But I've been watching first week lines for many years. That was unusual for a game concerning a big time power 5 conference team to move like that. But I agree about totals. They can make that big move and not surprise me all that much.

Billy Walters? anyone with the money of that magnitude to move a line like that it would be him.

Good deal man. I hope your son does well. OU needs all the help they can get in baseball.

Possibly Billy Walters. But you would think he would have been smart enough to move it the other direction. I thought I was getting a good line at -34 until that 28.5 showed up.
