  Utes by 7
  
  Oregon by 4.5
  
  It was interesting yesterday with the Utes up 4 with 19 seconds left. Some suggested that the Utes should try to run as much time off the clock as possible on 4th down instead of taking a chance of a blocked field goal. Then the Utes would have not beat the point spread. With 82% of the money bet on the Ducks, I’m sure the boys in Vegas were pleased that the Utes went for the field goal.

  The lines I saw for the Oregon game started at 3.5 and went down to 3.

  The Oregon defense was inconsistent at best. I think outscoring ASU is the best bet for a win. They tend to be better at home as someone else said. Is it senior night for Oregon?

      Added emotion of Herbert’s last game. I know their RB went down and they lost LT I believe in our game.
      
      I would rather it end this week and the Utes can play easy for the Turds game.

  Where do you get your information about % of money bet on each team? To my knowlege that information isn’t publically available. Why would a book allow that kind of exposure. The numbers don’t add up at -4.5 and -110 / +140.
  
  Books always win. I don’t think “vegas” cared one way or anyone about the kick.

    I am not a gambler, so I don’t know much. But, it was posted on one of the boards I visit that the final line was 5 and 82% of the bets were for Oregon. Someone I watched the game with brought up Vegas being pleased that the Utes scored. But, honestly I don’t know how it all works. Just passing along what I heard.

      The line started at Utah -3.5. Then it moved up to -5. Lines move when a large amount of money is bet on one team. So if a lot of money was bet on Utah, the line would move to entice bettors to bet on Oregon with the goal of having a 50/50 split on each side. If our line moved to where Oregon was getting more and more points, then more money was bet on Utah.

  Wazzu was a 6 point favorite last week in boulder. FWIW. Matchups matter though
