I think you are thinking about paramutual wagering where the odds change in real time based on the $ bet. Thats the way it works at the track. Football lines (not odds) are set and moved by the house not by how much people bet. They set that line at the point where the house thinks they can get a 50-50 split on the $ wagered on that game.

I am surprised the line is so low, I thought the skins would be +7 at least. I wonder what the over/under is.
