Its more about the people betting and not sports books.
People dictate the line moving, not the odds makers. Ideal situation is for there to be an equal amount of money being bet on both sides.

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

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

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

Yes. But why?
NanoFab Coug

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

Weird scores incentivize line movement.

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

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

Who cares? BYU wins this one by 21+

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

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

The lose to FCS Idaho was close

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

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

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
