can someone explain?

I noticed before game that the indi line which opened at -9 was down to around -7 before the game. Why would this happen if a majority of the people were on indi? around 70% on indi. If ne thing, the line should have moved the other way . Just felt like there was something i didnt know so i didnt play indi. Right now wash is up 14-10 so im glad i didnt. ne body have an explanation for this?

It means big money came in on Wash. More bets on Indy, but more money on Wash.

i cant really explain why it happens, possibly someone put a large amount on the redskins just before gametime. but when the line moves the opposite way that it should it is often successful to take the opposite of the public heavy side.

because of that shift i figured it would be an easy play with indi at home. but then again, that's y im terrible at handicapping games :flush: right now i have a 4 team 13 point teaser...and my last team is arizona +10 and there getting spanked by oakland. hopefully my luck changes.
