There are some legitimate reasons for the drop. For one thing the total was over inflated in the first place because of Cal coming off 2 offensive shootouts in a row, so obviously the oddsmakers had to set this total around 80. However this game game was just set at 66 at Cal last year. So we're getting 10+ points this season. We're also getting an improved Wazzu defense that is playing much better than it did last year. Especially in the secondary. What your thinking should have been for this game is instead of automatically thinking over at any number, you should have grabbed the under when it got clear up to 76.5

Yeah probably...but I still think it flies over

Wazzu's defense seems better this year I agree. Seems a bit too good for an 80 total.

Lol, sometimes if it looks too good to be true it's that good! This is embarrassing display of defense.

How does vegas hang 31.5 at halftime when the total started at 78.5, dropped to 68.5 and they scored 38 in the first half is beyond me. I hesitated to drop a bomb at halftime cause I thought it was a trap. Stupid mistake vegas.

I put a 100 on the over 31.5................I was scratching my head as well and was afraid to just unload on it.
