Late Line Movement Shifts OSU’s Direction Ahead of Boise State Game

OSU was a 5-point underdog to open the week against Boise State, but late line movement ahead of kickoff — while it doesn’t make OSU a favorite — does suggest this game will be even closer than the betting line opened.

The line has dropped to Boise State -3 (Boise State favored by 3) at Vegas Insider as of Saturday. The line was bet to Boise State -4.5 then Boise State -4, where it held for a few days before moving to -3. Other books have it at either Boise State -3 or -3.5.

This doesn’t matter too terribly much but it does at the very least show that money is coming in on OSU to cover the number. Ultimately, the close spread suggests we should be in for a closely contested game in Boise.
