It will be interesting to see if there is more change tomorrow.
With this being Rose Bowl week – I am surprised that very few people are posting.
I am excited about this game. When I first had season tickets as an adult back in 1975 we went 1-10. Going to any bowl game was the furthest thing from my mind let alone a Rose Bowl. Some of you may not realize how far the Ute football program has come.
Agreed, I’ve been somewhat surprised regarding the overall news and analysis of this bowl season, no less the Rose Bowl. Heading to the game tomorrow, expecting the excitement to pick up. Also will get some fishing in off the coast and shore.
Now it’s down to +4. And ESPNs FPI matchup indicator hadn’t moved at all. Apparently, the oddsmakers think those 4 opt-outs will impact the game by less than a FG.
The oddsmakers set the initial odds, but the bettors are the ones who push the odds in one direction or the other. The odds shift in response to the money coming in on both sides. The books try to keep it even, and change the odds if more money start coming in on the one side.
