Question on line movement

[hurricane1091]

Say a team is -4, and starts moving towards -3 on gameday. Which way is the money going? Are sharps betting the underdog and so now the books are looking for people to be on the favorite by lowering the line? It's something I should probably know but don't.

Yes 95% of the time. Rest of the time is late info (injuries, weather, etc...)

Other than new information (injuries, lineups) what else could be the reason? Try thinking that way for a change.
