I see that now. Just strange that website had it opened at -1 or -1.5 as I've only seen about 1 of 10 online sportsbooks who opened up at that line. Most opened between 2 and 3. Maybe that's because they waited to list it until the line had already jumped to 2 or 3 on that the sites who started it out that low. Lots of people must have jumped on Michigan early.
If the line gets to Michigan -3 and then an Iowa ML becomes available I think you will see the money come in on Iowa real quick.

The one thing I've noticed about Michigan is that they don't foul much at all. We get a high % of our points from the line. With it being at Michigan, where the home team traditionally doesn't get called for a lot in the B1G, we're going to have to be hitting from 3 and making sure we make our bunnies when we get inside.
I look for a close game throughout. Hopefully with the confidence we gained winning at OSU and pulling away at the end, we can continue to show the mental toughness necessary to close this one out as well.
Hawks by 6.....78-72.

I don't think we'll see it get back to 3. At least not with the book I use. It's at 2.5 now but it was -105 and now it's -110 so more money must be coming in on Iowa. I'm interested to see what the total is.

You'd be crazy to touch this game unless you get 3 or better. It's a matter of right here, right now, these are about as evenly matched teams as you could get with the game at Crisler.
Michigan's recent play offset by Iowa's consistency and depth. Iowa's length and rebounding offset by Michigan's potential perimeter shooting. It could be an awesomely entertaining, gut-wrenching game in the high 70's or a complete blow-out.
Depending on who's calling it, could see a minor meltdown by Fran.
* Had my 1st Ted Valentine sighting in Indy @ MSU, last night and it was 1 too many this season.*
I think Hawks will have a "one-step back" sort of game -- UM 77 - Hawks 70. (Iowa will win by 15+ in Carver, tho.)

I believe the OP was using VegasInsider.com but I don't have access at work. I think the early lines in Vegas yesterday opened it at -1, quickly moved to -1.5 and then late last night it got to the -2.5 area it's at now.
This is going to be a tough one. Being the better team doesn't always equal a win on the road. I think Mich squeaks this out by 2-4 points. We are very capable of winning, and if we do, it solidifies that MSU and Iowa are the bullies of the B1G.
Looks like the line is -2 at most places and -2.5 at some. Over/Under is 150... Going to be some scoring!
