Oh?  Do you have an inside source with the offshore line makers that assure you that's how it works?

if your going by the Vegas insider opening line forget it  , that opening line thing is really a joke,  any action moves the line so your wrong , and sharp as in smart money  is not always bet early .

If smart money sees the LVSC have set a line that is off based on the number they have handicapped on a game, they jump on it ASAP.  The books adjust their line accordingly.

Um, no, that's not how it works.

Opening numbers are at BOL. Low limit. You want a real opening line? See Pinny/5Dimes (who both opened it -2, by the way).

Nebraska has won last three, true.  I wonder if they will be looking at creighton on Thursday?  That is a big in state game.  I understand they are a dog in this one.  But, they have had creighton circled on schedule for a longtime.  I lean USC.  GL mates

they're dogs on their own court and they know it. no chance they're thinking of CU instead of taking care of biz v the "prestigious" spoiled children from LA. anyway that kind of fish rot focus comes from coaching. this coach is not that guy. no shot. none. gl.

I'm not exactly sure, which is the only correct answer any of us can give to that question. 

For what it's worth, I think the story of them adjusting lines in response to "smart money" is BS.  That's a pretty simplistic approach that gamblers could pay attention to and capitalize on.  Me?  I think line movement is designed to confuse the hell out of us.  I think it's psychological warfare, and effective.
