It looks like it opened at +5 and moved to +8 already.

+5 I can understand. +8....not so much. We'll see what it is at tomorrow. IU -4 seems right

[dgies9156]

+8 just means you bet MU all day.

[BM1090]

Will be interested if it changes as more books release their lines. +8 just does not seem right.

I only can find one site that lists a line and that site indicates the line has moved 3 points in 3 hours. Will assume that is inaccurate until I see any known books post a line

[Herman Cain]

Seems reasonable

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

I'd hammer MU +8. 

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Pound MU at +8 if that's the case. Wonder who bet big on Indiana to move the line that much.

[Windyplayer]

Holy crap. ESPN is showing +8 as well. Wojo has his whiteboard material. Thanks, Vegas!

When it seems so obviously wrong you typically end up getting burned.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Can you make bets on Bovada for the next day?  Never been able to figure that out, but I am trying to get in on that +8 before it moves back.

Generally, yes. Vegas knows what they're doing.

[🏀]

It's very well likely we have a betting amount descrepancy going on. Looking get the numbers back to even.

[Dish]

The power ratings I use have MU at -5, so something is way off here. If a book is giving MU points, I'd probably run to the window and take them while you can.

ESPN sometimes just uses the first line that comes out, which is sometimes computerized and not one released by the books. As soon as a book releases a line, it will update. Not sure that is the case here but it is possible

[BM1090]

Yes. But there is no line on Bovada yet.

[PGsHeroes32]

I got it at -5

[VegasWarrior77]

The consensus Vegas line is -5.5.  I have seen a couple 6s - but nothing higher than that.  Total is 149.

[BM1090]

Indiana -5 or 6 is far more reasonable although I think the true line should be closer to 3.5 or 4. Kenpom also has Indiana by 4.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Indiana by 4 or 5 makes sense to me. 8 seems crazy. Despite thinking Indiana should be favored, I have a good feeling. Head says Indiana at home, heart says MU on the road. Hoping heart wins out.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Yes. But there is no line on Bovada yet.

How? Never been able to figure that out.

[PGsHeroes32]

How? Never been able to figure that out.

Bovada almost always waits til last minute

When it's saturday and the heart of the season with every team playing, sometimes the lines are not up and ready til like 9 am

[YoungMUFan4]

i'm seeing it as +5.5

[BM1090]

ESPN has updated as the books come out. Line is IU -5.5.

[79Warrior]

Pound MU at +8 if that's the case. Wonder who bet big on Indiana to move the line that much.

Would stay away from this game. Early first true road game in a very hostile environment. Pass

[MU82]

Agreed.

But gun at my head -- and given the environment in the U.S. that could happen any time -- I'd bet on the Warrior Eagles.
