I first saw the line at -13.5 and it’s now -11 at my book. I’m not seeing any reasons why. What’s up with the movement?
Playing in Starkpatch...Dawgs just walloped their other in-state rivalry...if you were from Mississippi and knew this game's history, you'd be scratching your head at the 13.5 opening number...there's not a meaner rivalry in football than the Egg bowl.

I’m not sure that is accurate, I can recall multiple double digit margin of victories in the past decade. Both programs have gone through so many changes in the past 10 years that I’m reluctant to ascribe any credibility towards the trends argument. My concern was the line movement. I thought it was odd to move so much. Even if you think it should be tighter, why did it start so high? I think the play is Ole Miss at anything under 2 td’s.

There is a perception by the public that these games are usually close and that you can "throw away the record books". But that is simply not true. Going back to the year 2000 and looking at those 23 games, the better team usually prevails. There have been 9 of those games decided by single digits and 14 games decided by 10 points or more. In fact, 7 of those games were decided by 21 or more, and one game was 45-0. But the fact is these teams are usually more evenly matched than this year. This year Ole Miss has been far superior all year long and I expect them to win by at least 2 TDs. I think the line movement is because the public simply misunderstands this rivalry and the margins of victory so there was some early money on Ms State.
