    Why the 2 point drop on UCLA?
    After hovering around -27 all week the line on UCLA is suddenly down to -25 with most of the public on Washington State? Anyone know the reason behind this line movement? Is Kevin Prince sitting this one out?

          Line movements and public betting sentiments are not always directly related. The point I was making is that in this case they do seem to be linked, meaning that both public sentiment and possibly sharp money seem to be moving away from UCLA. If anyone has anything to contribute as to why this might be happening -- anything beyond posturing juvenile sarcasm -- it would be greatly appreciated.

              I saw on the Gold Sheet injury report that he was questionable. Do you know if he has in fact been benched for the game?

                college injuries dont move lines. It is not like the pro where if drew brees was out the line will start severly moving. these college teams are 3 - 4 slots deep at every position and when one guy is out, another guy jumps in and takes his place and they dont skip a beat. Im not saying losing a premiere player wont hurt a team but most of the time they have a replacement to pick up the slack and vegas knows this as well

                  the same? just like when keenum or bradford last year? wrong.


                  also, UCLA is in a really bad spot here off an upset win at texas and playing california next week so their focus might be off this week and let some starters rest up and recover for next week

                    An injury to a starting offensive lineman will move a college line (wiseguys place particular emphasis on the offensive line) let alone its starting QB being pulled from a game. The UCLA line just dropped another point, so most likely Prince will be sitting out this game.
