18 minutes. Headed to the recliner as soon as my daughter is down for the night. Very cranky from a long day so we’re not far from there

Does anyone know if Arrowhead is the loudest stadium in the world? I would think they'd have some branding letting you know that...

Yes, I'm being sarcastic, as they flash it on the big screen every 15 seconds...

If the line moved down from -6.5 to -5.5, here’s what that usually signals:

1. Reverse Line Movement (RLM)

This is when the line moves opposite of the public money.

• You said earlier: most of the money was on Nebraska (NU).
• If that’s still true but the line drops from -6.5 → -5.5, it likely means:
  • Respected sharp money (professional bettors) has come in on the other team.
  • Sportsbooks are reacting to that sharp action, even if the public is still pounding NU.

2. Possible Reasons
a) Sharps See Value on the Opponent

• They may think Nebraska is overvalued, or that matchup data favors the underdog more than models suggest.
• This happens a lot when the early hype is on the favorite.

b) Injury or Information Shift

• Sometimes insider news — like a player injury, weather changes, or practice reports — triggers sharp bets and line adjustments.

c) Book Balancing

• The book may be managing liability.
  • If too much exposure builds on NU and sharp action takes the dog, they shade the line lower to balance the risk.

3. Market Sentiment

A line drop like this is a warning sign:

The market (especially sharp bettors) may no longer agree with the “Nebraska should be -14” narrative.

• It could mean the true value is closer to -5.5 or -6 — not a double-digit favorite.

4. What to Watch

• If it drops further, like to -5 or -4.5 → strong sharp action on the underdog.
• If it bounces back up, like to -6 or -6.5 → books adjusted but still see heavy buyback on Nebraska.

Thank you for explaining this. very informative
