sometimes you can tell where the oddsmakers want the money in late line movements. For example, if the Nebraska line starts coming down yet you don't know one person that's betting Missouri you know there is some psychology behind it. So far, actually...all the big shot so-called Handicappers are "pounding" missouri which is a good sign. Most of these guys that do the Vegas Radio Handicapping shows are all in kahoots with the oddsmakers and in some instances are paid by oddsmakers to pump up a team that they want the public to play. It happens every week. So if you hear Wayne Root saying Wyoming is his "Game of the Year" go the other way. Chances are Joe Lupo is signing his check every week. This is a common sense business and most times the public has none(common sense). Perfect example: Lee Corso and company giving the "picks of the week" out on the very network, ESPN, that has a daily segment on ESPN News that allows a Vegas Sportsbook General Manager to "discuss" sports wagering. Vegas has a big influence and a strong relationship with ESPN. Think about all the money the two have made together since ESPN started broadcasting in the late 70's - early 80's. Also pay attention to the bogus trends on the ESPN bottom line just before a game on Saturday morning. It's all business. Good Luck,
