Apparently the reason why the spread went from 3.5 to 6.5 is that Vegas doesn't trust that the Big XII won't put the fix into this game.

Some sportsbooks won't even put a spread on the game..

This has to be one of the toughest games to predict in recent memory.

Vegas puts -1/-1 spreads on tough games. The reason is if either team wins by one point, vegas wins both sides of the bet.

Bodog is where I do all my betting.......usually if there are games where the spread moves one direction really fast they won't put up their spread until the day of.

And you're right though, it's probably because they are suspicious that something is going on and they don't want a bunch of people making easy money on the early line.

The only time Vegas won't put a line on a FBS game is when they expect a 45+ point blowout.

I would expect Bodog to place a spread sometime Saturday.......or whenever the spread levels itself out a bit. They're just trying to figure out right now where it "should" be at, because all these other sites that allowed people to place big money on OU at -3 are going to give out a lot of free money if this game is indeed rigged in some way.

The time to get in was 6.5. It's back down to 4 now so money was flowing to Nebraska at the high spread.

bodog still isn't touching it..

Maybe the FBI should be notified about possible rigging by the Big 12?
