    Something must be going with this game because Heritage Sportsbook does not have it listed. I know Texas Tech QB Davis Webb got injured on Saturday, and that is probably the reason why, as they are waiting for a status update. If your book is offering it I suggest you jump all over Texas immediately.

    So you're saying that an injury to a team's starting quarterback typically results in said team laying a ton of chalk? I'm from earth. That's not how it works here.

    No, I was saying it could be a CONTRIBUTING factor. Sorry my grammer skills are not very good. Could you be so kind as to explain to a dummy such as myself how it works?

    Your response is an answer as to why the game is not listed on Heritage. It does not explain why Texas Tech would initially be listed as a 24.5 point favorite if their QB is hurt.

    Game has yet to be on the board anywhere, that 24.5 is bogus. And Texas will be favored.

    I saw the 24.5 Sunday night on vegasinsider too since I use that site for a weekly pool at work. I instantly went to 5Dimes to bet it, it wasn't listed, and knew it was a bad/bogus line.

    But it was bogus, never really existed. Must have been a bad line feed.

    You are more than likely correct but I can only share the information I see.

    Apparently, Texas is a massive underdog at Texas Tech this weekend

    Posted by JJ Stankevitz on October 27, 2014, 9:28 AM EDT
    Texas Tech is 3-5 this year, with wins over Kansas, UTEP and Central Arkansas. Kliff Kingsbury’s Red Raiders literally caused TCU to run out of fireworks on Saturday in an 82-27 loss.
    But according to VegasInsider.com, Texas Tech opened this week as a 24 1/2-point favorite over Texas for this weekend’s game in Lubbock.
    That has to be an error, right? Is Texas really that bad?
    The answer: No. Texas ranks 55th by Sagarin, while Texas Tech ranks 77th. Texas Tech has won its three games by a combined 24 points over an FCS school, a middling C-USA team and one of the worst Power Five programs in the country. Texas, meanwhile, has played Oklahoma and UCLA tough and has the same 3-5 record.
    Texas isn’t likely to go bowling this year — after Texas Tech, Charlie Strong’s Longhorns have home games against West Virginia and TCU sandwiched around a trip to Oklahoma State. But this is a team that could very well beat Texas Tech on the road and probably has no business being 24 1/2-point underdogs.
    But the fact we just had to explain why Texas shouldn’t be a massive underdog on the road against a 3-5 Texas Tech team is still a pretty good indication of just how steep an uphill climb Strong has in Austin, isn’t it?

    it was a typo guys, the NEB line just below it was 24.5 as well. No clue why they haven't removed it yet. There is no line on this game until injury situation is resolved.

    Again, they guy that wrote than is using VI as his source and VI is obviously wrong. Texas will probably be be favored in this game when line really opens.

    If Texas really was catching 24.5 points, I think it's safe to say that a lot of banks would be getting loan requests... not that it's inconceivable that Tech could cover... just highly, highly improbable.

    And that's another bogus line. The game is still off the board.

    You see that once in a while in games with no line where bad feeds pop up here and there. I will try to keep an eye out (if I remember) for the real opener (or at least early line).
