    Probably because Michigans team is super young & these guys are still playing (have been all year). Couple key opt outs but nothing unexpected. 

     

    Also Sherrone Moore is gone. Huge plus for Michigan honestly.

    I don't buy into that nonsense and I'd be very worried if I had already backed the Horns at the earlier number.

    Late line moves right before bowls are because somebody knows something or thinks they do, and for it to go 7.5 now down to 4.5 is VERY significant. I figured it meant something like Manning being out.

    Tho tbh I was liking Texas in this spot but I'm always wary of them as a favorite they never really pull away from many teams, there's always some special teams adventure or silly turnover.

    If the sharps are on Texas to begin with  ... then the line going down would be even better for them to load up again, I would think.   Think I will stay away from this one.

    The last two times each team was a dog ... they didn't win or cover the spread.  IMO means the linesmakers are pretty good with these two teams

    these guys, not you, but most of these guys are freaking hilarious with their comments. I was on Texas money line huge as soon as the line came out 2.5 weeks ago.

    I could care less with the sharps bet on. They don't know anymore than you or I do? You guys just think they do, and I actually don't. The only thing they do is bet more money than we do. They don't win more, they don't lose more. They bet more money than we do, and that's it
