Line dropped to 14 quick

[whaler11]

Went from 17 to 14 right quick.

Degenerate.

Public betting UConn is NOT good for our Mojo...

 

[Nostical]

Take the points.

I was on my way to do that when I got there it was 14.

No self-respecting degen can take 14 after missing 17 and 18.

Actually, according to Sportsbookspy, the public is actually betting BYU 53% vs. 47% of the time for the Huskies. However, the line dropped a lot, meaning that the big money is coming in on Uconn from the "sharp" betters in vegas. The professionals think this team is better than the public does. Take it for what it's worth.

Looking at how fast it moved my guess is that RAS ( Right Angle Sports) released it as a play.

When they release a play the line moves instantly 3-4 points.

They usually release sides on Monday and Tuesday... so it
could be someone else that some linemaker respects that got on board.

I'm guessing Right Angle Plays is one of the better tout services out there then.

Pretty much the only one that wins.

spread should be around 16. 2 TD's is not quite enough, but 2 TD's and a FG is too much. I wouldn't go either way on it though.

lines do not drop 3 points in a couple hours from public betting. the higher % of bets are on BYU anyways

What is the percentage in the last 24 hours, if you know?

I believe you - just curious.
What are the causes of a 3 point swing in a couple hours?

 

[NYUConn]

Tim Brando said he wouldn't touch this game

Probably because Tim Brando couldn't find Utah on a map.

 

[NYUConn]

Tim Brando said he wouldn't touch this game

Ha I totally misread your post and thought it said Brando wouldn't watch this game, hence my half-witted comeback.

Anyway everyone that isn't UConn. Go Huskies!

 

[Nostical]

Tim Brando said he wouldn't touch this game

I wouldn't touch Tim Brando, either. And Whaler, if you loved the Huskies at +17 you still need to love them at +14. Forget the "value of the play"--take the better team getting points. UConn will win or at very least will cover.

low 50s: http://www.vegasinsider.com/college...t-@-brigham-young.cfm/date/10-02-15/time/2215

the line was not a slow drop, it went from 17 right to 14, http://www.vegasinsider.com/college...t-@-brigham-young.cfm/date/10-02-15/time/2215

that is either an injury or a syndicate moved on it

 

[Matt1010]

“BYU RB Adam Hine (ankle) is doubtful tonight versus Connecticut.”

This is my guess for why we saw such a big line drop.

no chance, Arian Foster is worth 1 point on the spread, you think this guy is worth 3.5?

ESPN had an interesting on the game. This was before the spread but still an interesting/positive writeup.

Connecticut Huskies (+17.5) at BYU Cougars(Friday)

We really like the way the coaches, players and the whole Connecticut organization has handled a difficult preparation week ahead of the longest road trip in school history. The Huskies have a tough defense, especially up front. The offense has a little more punch than last year's thanks to three emerging playmakers: N.C. State transfer quarterback Bryant Shirreffs and running backArkeel Newsome, both sophomores, and freshman wideout Tyraiq Beals. This is an improved team with a legit defense that is ready to play this week.

The BYU offense has been running on adrenaline since losing Taysom Hill in a wild opener at Nebraska that the Cougars won on a Hail Mary. BYU has also seen its top three running backs go down, along with half of the "Bash Brothers," a duo of defensive linemen-turned-blocking tight ends around whom the running game was to be built. BYU's ambitious September left the Cougars 2-2 and ended on a down note. This offense needs to regroup and rediscover its identity. The defense is having tackling issues at all levels. Health is poor. And the hope of major national prizes just got swept off the table with a humbling loss. It's hard to see how BYU is primed to score 18, let alone lay this kind of weight.

ATS pick: Connecticut
Score: BYU 20, Connecticut 14

 

[Husky25]

If BYU Scores 18-20, I think UConn wins.

We have to break 20 first

 

[Husky25]

BYU has averaged almost 27 points against and UConn has broken 20 twice.
