Most books including Pinnacle will show you different lines on the homepage to when you log in, especially near game time. In most cases it's because they don't update static pages with a live feed.

Bovada knows a real rec player gets really mad when the team he wants is -115. They don't care about the half point or the market...they just want to back a team at -110 on whatever the line is. 4, 4.5 or 5.5, they don't really care. They also bet the favorite and the over more and pile on one side. Players who get the best of that and bet the dog get the market line. People get mad and think of it like a store that is inflated prices but really its the same margin either way. Its a blessin in disguise for players who know a half point matters...time to add more books with more lines, different set of promos and grab your bovada line when it suits you.
