    I remember this sh*t happened to Florida International from +1.5 to -2 and I was supposed to be a winner but ended as a push on Flo Int -2

              In my experience watching lines move like this in close spreads the games usually end up being coin tosses and coming down to the wire. Maybe take the over instead of a side?

                The over looks like the best bet. You never know what you will get from Illinois and Baylor is making an appearance in a Bowl game for the first time in a long, long time.

                        Illinois boys look much bigger than Baylor boys. Illinois lineman look corn fed. Not so much with Baylor. I was going to go with Baylor but after seeing both teams, Illinois look like the better team.

                            thats why I took Illinois, I think they will pound them. Plus everyone is on Baylor and the line agrees with my play so i like it more.

                              They look like the better team because one team's lineman are bigger than the other?

                                      What the hell? I haven't seen movement like this on a college game for a long time. Glad I stayed away from it now. I thought this would be a relatively easy Baylor win. Looking forward to seeing how Illinois play now. No idea why the sharps are on them though, doesn't make much sense.

                                          Not only bigger but look to be in better shape. Now of course it doesn't mean they will win the game but like looking at horses or dogs at a track or looking at a boxing weigh-in, Illini look more impressive from the eye test. Griffin looks good for Baylor but other than him the team looks small.

                                          Either way, I'm not betting the house but I changed my bet to Illini after seeing them (I'm in Houston). The only negative factor for me is the Zooker. He will probably find a way to fuk this up. The Illini was playing fairly good football and I think the B10 is better than the B12, so my reason for the slight lean. We'll see very shortly...

                                            Hopefully it'll get up to 3.5.

                                              5-point rule could be in play here if you believe in it.

                                                      If it closes as a 5-point difference, then yes, if you believe the 5-point theory the play is Baylor.

                                                        havent really ever used it or looked into it. what would be the premise behind it? the line moved to much off original spot?
