And double digit lines are usually going to trend down.

Why has the line been moving in Wyoming’s favor? Was -11 at one point, now it’s

I'm not putting much stock in vegas right now. Their lines have been terrible

spidercoug

You do realize Vegas sets and moves lines to draw bets right? The first three

Why has the line moved? Because big money started coming in on Wyoming. That’s

DKN

Yeah, but why? That’s my question.

Opening lines can be somewhat predictive

Closing lines are slightly more accurate than opening overall.

Because educated football watchers looked at the line

Why do you think this invalidates anything?

I didn’t see that post invalidate anything. It just answered the question “why is the line moving”

I would not be shocked if we only win by 3 points.

For some reason BYU has been continually underestimated. If betting lines matter to you this should be an easy byu cover

BYU’s offense has not been good with Retzlaff as the qb and two RB’s are out.

What would give you confidence we win by more than a touchdown?

So embarrassing. I'm uber embarrassed. The bag is over my head.

Covering by a wide margin 2 times wasn’t enough to dissuade you?

After the line is set, it moves in response to actual bets placed. Clearly the money is moving that way

LaserCoug

Yes. But why?

NanoFab Coug

Sep 14, 8:19am

Probably has to do with our lack of running game and RB's

Unfortunately, guys from Vegas have been attending BYU’s practices this week, and we’re getting worse 🙁

It’s not that surprising. 10 is a key number

rtl

Because our offense made people question we could score enough points

NYC and Japan

Its more about the people betting and not sports books.

Hufflepuff

News that their star TE is returning may be part of the movement.

BigEasyCougar

Who cares? BYU wins this one by 21+

ElkhunterUT

road game, RB injuries, juiced Wyoming squad, close losses, locker room material

Srg

Sep 14, 11:24am

Close losses? How do you consider a 48-7 loss to ASU close?

Rise Against

Sep 14, 11:31am

The lose to FCS Idaho was close

puntersarepeople

Sep 14, 12:01pm

He said close losses, plural.

Rise Against

Sep 14, 12:13pm

It was closer than the score made it seem 😉

Have you seen the most important position for us, the QB, play?

JosephAllenMaldonado

Sep 14, 11:31am

Well when one team has more money coming in on it the line moves.

Embarrassing, but...free money!

TheLoneCougar

We're going on the road with our turnover machine...

Plantagenet

Sep 14, 12:12pm

It's been announced that their best offensive weapon will be back today

CougMAGA

BYU by 21. GO COUGS!

CougMAGA

Sep 14, 1:09pm

According to this, it opened at -8.5 and has moved in BYU's favor at all the books.

We could lose this game easily because of turnovers
