    Why was Mizzou +5.5 today at Tennessee

    Sometimes these lines are so bad you just wonder what in the hell oddsmakers were thinking in the first place.

    Why won't you become a linemakers then, you think it's easy trying to setup a line to create equal action?

    You're dumb as a rock as a gambler also, the line didn't open at 5.5, it was the bettors who drove the line up

    They haven't been able to figure out Mizzou at all this year - I've made a ton of money with them this year, wagering against them when they're favored and for them when dogs. Same situation last week against A&M, and at Florida and SC weeks ago - I'll probably bet on the Hogs next week since Mizzou will surely be favored at home.

    I wish these outcomes were like this over ten years ago when I first started gambling. I would be a billionaire. These lines are all balancing out. Vegas figures sharps money is more than majority of squares.

    Your telling no coin is dumb as a rock as a gambler? You think bettors is the reason that line moved up?

    It still opened at -3, which made about as little sense as the -5.5.

    No reason for Tennessee to be favored here. Zero.

    I don't know this for a fact No Coin but I was under the impression that the Vols had the public money, especially with so many touts all on them. It was another one of those classic go against the touts (or SBR sometimes) when everyone is on the same side. But Mizzou was the better team and should've been favored anyway, which is what your original point was.

    Dude, the public was all over Miz. Ten. was double digit favorites previous game how much did you expect books to drop the line w/o making it obvious. Beside the fact no matter what side the public was on that line was going to move up regardless. Who started the idea that action moves the line? Let me guess, ummm line makers

    Action doesnt move the line? Then books are gamblers just like us I suppose.
