The line is moving on the Emerald Bowl. Georgia Tech went from -6.0 to -8.5 against Utah. Any early play on this game? Jump now?

the birdman have seen some of these lines moving and will be releasing a couple of early plays for bowl season. out of all the listed games we see a handful of 3* games and possibly a couple of 4*.

To reiterate what Murdoch is saying, we have seen line movement, but we don't necessarily equate this with "smart" money. It is a little dangerous to throw money on bowl games early as you are unsure what events could lead up to the actual bowl (coaches leaving, players suspended for conduct or acedemics, injuries, etc.). However, this is a general rule and there are exceptions as will be shown by our early releases that are coming out shortly.

Case in point, KU's all-time leading kick returner (2nd all time in Big 12) was officially booted off the team today and will not play in the bowl game. It is not like losing a quarterback, but it is not unheard of (4 years ago Grossman was suspended for the first half of the bowl game for Florida; two years ago Rix was suspended for FSU's bowl game; also two years ago Roberson, the QB for KState was suspended for the first half of their bowl game with Ohio State for conduct--a lot of money moved the line in KState's favor before this announcment). It happens to big names at big programs and you don't want to be on the wrong side of the money when it does.
