Can anybody inform why the line has changed from -120 for Uruguay to advance to now even money. When the line came out it was pretty even then URU spiked a little and now it's tilting towards Port. Thinking about doubling back on my URU bet and maybe abet for 90 minutes. Can anybody give me some insight.

Well it's rare that a 15-1----PORT. is an underdog to a----25-1 URUGUAY.....somethings amiss there....now it looks closer to correct although if one goes by those odds to win the WC----PORT. should be around -150

PORT. overrated.....URUGUAY underrated....that's what these game odds today are telling us.

Just think Ronaldo comes out big today. Can’t see Portugal go down so early.

Pretty simple. More money on Portugal than Uruguay.

Uruguay has yet to concede a goal at this summer's World Cup, but now they must try to contain Cristiano Ronaldo without star defender Jose Gimenez.

The thing is URUGUAY opened a slight fav. and line has really had no SIG. movement.....which says considering PORT. is 15-1 vs URUGUAY 25-1...very even money coming in.

Again PORT overrated....URUGUAY underrated....they should both be about 20-1 to win the WC.

I feel like Portugal relies too much on Ronaldo. It's easier gameplan for one player than multiple. It feels like Urugauy had an easier time qualifying but they had two 1-0 games with one of the goals coming in the 89', then the took care of Russia 3-0 playing most of the game 11 on 10. Urugauy got 100% points in an easy group but it wasn't as easy as it seemed. Still feel like Uruguay is better team (pk-105). Thanks for those who replied in thread, it's one thing to think some of this stuff to yourself, its another to here other people reiterate it and also counterpoint it.
