What's with the line movement in the ASU/Arizona game?

[QuantumLeap]

Line went from ASU -4 to PK. I was thinking of just avoiding this game because both teams are just horrible. Then I thought I might want to play it if I could find some edge.

I looked at the injury report. The only significant news I could find was that Arizona QB Solomon was questionable. If he plays I may put something on ASU.

I initially liked ASU in this game. Unsure now with the line movement.

Careful, this is UA's bowl game. ASU's offense is a shit show with Norville gone to Memphis and Graham is an idiot.

Yeah, either way I would steer clear of this one QL.

ASU is 5-6, Arizona 2-8, I'm going with ASU. I've watched Arizona several times and they are horrible.

If I play this at all it will be with a small amount just for entertainment value. Thanks for the input though.

My thoughts exactly. Or maybe the books may just want more money on Arizona in one-sided betting for ASU.

Prob an easy over bet...don't see any defense being played

ASU QB been banged up all year. Don't know what kind of shape he'll be in or how long he'll go tonight.

[Calgunner23]

My book has this one at -1 ASU. I think I'll join you with a small bet.

Just going by instinct, seems like lots of money coming in on UofA to cause the line to go down like that. Add to my personal perception that people will favor ASU even though they have under-performed due to the fact that UofA has been downright horrible as of late. That tells me public money is on ASU and sharp money is on UofA.

I'm going with UofA +1 1/2 just with some fun money. I could be way offbase here.

My read on the line is the same as you. I just can't bring myself to play this game though.

Went large on Arizona. Drunk lol

I look at it like paying to see a movie. I'm sure I'll get entertained. The only difference is that I may end up winning money instead of it costing me.

Looks like Dawkins is playing QB for Arizona instead of Solomon. Maybe that was part of the reason for the line change. I think Dawkins is much better than Solomon. Still can't understand why RichRod puts Solomon in. He's horrible.

This is a pretty entertaining game, especially for those of us who have Arizona. It's being played at a high level of energy. Here are 2 teams who have done nothing in months playing against their rival. It's a chance to pull out all stops and win a meaningful game during a season which has had little meaning.

Edit:

Miss Arizona just got knocked over on the sidelines.
An ASU player just got kicked out for a flagrant foul. I expect there to be fisticuffs later in the game. Hopefully a bench-clearing brawl will manifest itself sometime later in the game as well.

Nice call!



Not even close.

I'm still waiting on my Arizona +4 2nd half bet I posted in the other thread. Arizona was running all over ASU in the 1st. Now they have 5 runs in the second for over 40 yards.

Now that was a good idea. I hope you cleaned up.

28-21 Arizona in the 2nd half thanks to 4 big runs. They had over 400 yards rushing. Not.even.close!

Thanksgiving is a tough week. Too much crown on my part. But did follow . Someone on sbr posted it was the cats bowl game

[MillerHighLife]

ASU rush defense was the worst I've ever seen in any college football game.

How Todd Graham keeps his job after that performance against the worst team in the PAC-12 is beyond me.
