UNC line moved from +4.5 to +6. Not sure if that is good or bad since I picked them to win outright.

 

It just means not enough people are betting on UNC, that's all...

On game day, what else does it mean?  (real question, not snark...)

Why the lines move? Any number of reasons. A player gets hurt. Or someone knows something about someone on the team that no one else is supposed to know. Lots of stuff.

Weather is also a reason why lines move. If it looks like it's going to be crappy out lines will often shift in favor of teams that play better in the slop (a.k.a. teams that run the ball).

Hell sometimes lines move in FAVOR of the teams that the majority of the money is on. That's a HUGE red flag that Vegas knows something.

Nothing too nefarious. I would guess you're probably right and more money was on Clemson. The guy I use to get those figures from is currently overseas.

Just like some of my bball picks, missed New Mexico by a half point. Wish I would have gotten that pick in at 8 points like Pedro.

Not a good start.  0-2-1 so far.  Stupid New Mexico push -- should have waited to post.  In real life I won it at +9.  Pushed on here.
