If that happens (a swing from dog to favorite), Vegas really risks getting "middled" in a very close game and paying both sides.
Vegas sometimes places a line to generate bets....but only if they feel strongly about one side or the other. They just as often place the line to even out the bets and take their vig. How it moves (if it moves) is, however, often a sign of who's betting where.
Your guys looked awfully good against Miss-again (sorry, I don't have the common insulting names you guys use for Michigan....I'll be happy to use them if you'll let me know what they are.....I have plenty for Oklahoma University though
). We don't get to see you every week down here, but I was impressed.
