    Northweastern line movement what gives?

    The line moved from -8.5 to 5.5 @ 5dimes. Looking @ the game i was liking the cats -8.5. I know how NW did ATS last yr and felt they would be overvalued this yr. However against a truly bad Cal team with horrible grad losses and the cats bringing back nearly the entire team...I just dont understand the big drop. Scares me, might push me to the moneyline or tease.
    Any ideas?

    Agreed. I'm not sure what to make of it. I loaded up 2 units when it hit -6 for NW. I saw it go to -5.5 today. Unless I hear some reason to fade, I may put another unit on it.

    They lost a lot of talent on the OL, tough to measure how much that hurts

    Yeah, that line is suspicious now. Was one of my fav plays; thought I would play it if it dropped to -7. But -5 is suspicious. if it stays like this right before game time, I might pull the trigger anyway. Northwester should have a solid veteran team

    Big ten is terrible 5-20 on road vs pac12 recently. ..Cal is tough at home regardless and dykes offense is designed to score no matter what

    5Dimes adjusted all of their lines when CRIS released their lines. All of the line moves were to bring them into conformity with CRIS's lines.

    Vegas opened the game at 8.5 and now has it down to 6.

    Guys, there is no succh thing as an abvious trap line. If you think it can be a gtrap line, it is not. The fact is that the off shore casino's are not exactly making a killing and have lowered the maximum allowble wager, so the line changes a lot quicker. It does not take nearly as much money to move a line as it used to.

    I think this is a good point, from what I understand of these movements. I'm personally trying to avoid reading much into this aspect.
