How do the books always know?

O/U 2H for Washington/Georgia was 76.

13 points in the last 44 seconds puts the total at 77.

I don't understand it either....it's pretty amazing that they can always be so accurate.

They don't know shit, you just forget all the times when they miss the total by 20.

Yeah, just like how I thought sure my under for the Tex/Oak game would hit...somehow Oak went from 59 to 85 in the last 6 minutes or so....

This thread is also a bit silly because if they had been anywhere from +2 to -2 you could have said the same thing...that's a five point window.
