Tarleton/Arlington- TOTAL Drop

Total has gone down from 147.5 to 142.5 

Any INJURIES that we should know about ?? 

I see none listed.  

Maybe    ....but check to see if there was ALSO a significant change in the point spread/ML......if confined only to the total, then it's just a money move, since obviously if it were an as yet UNannounced/publicly known injury/suspension then the spread would necessarily move as well

Huge conflict of tempo in this one - Arlington 287/365 and Tarleton 32/365. That movement would lead me to believe sharp money expects Arlington to control pace here. Their last game in December went for 132.

Thank you much for the insights

UT ARLINGTON GAMES 12-3 TO THE UNDER MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT BOL

Maybe....but unlikely as we would expect that stat to be already baked into the opening totals...

However there is, in theory, one other WILD possibility of WHY only the total has moved significantly but not the spread or ML....and I really hate to think this but given recent news headlines.......are there some "shenanigans" going on?  Maybe certain players will play hard to win, sure, but slow the game way down and/or miss shots once well in the lead??  Less than 1% chance but....

....still it's most likely just money pouring in... HOWEVER, monitor to see if the spread starts to move!! 

@hottoonight

Spread is steady at -3.5.     Think i'm just gonna lay off this game now.  So difficult to trust betting small conference school hoops now.

I tease this under 150 with North Carolina and the over in the North Carolina game
