Noticed this morning that the line has been pulled. Saw IU at -4 (which I love).

Has anyone heard any reasons as to whats going on there?

Vegas has made a decision that protects it's financial interests.

That sounds about right.

The reason the line was pulled is likely because a lot of money was going down on Indiana. When that occurs, they need to recalculate the odds ratios in an attempt to get more money bet on OSU, because the Bookies profit most if an equivalent amount is bet on both teams. So, -5.5 is designed to draw money to OSU.

So, I guess that one could say they were protecting their "financial interests."

They are geniuses if they can get people to put money on OSU in the Michigan vs. Indiana game.
