Hello,
Been following your picks you are doing great,
Have a question regarding the army/ec game.
I had line yesterday at army +5’
Saw today it was down to +4 and 4’
Any news on that game?
To me that’s a big change this close to kickoff.
Any info is appreciated thank you.
Keep up good work.

This is a great point, that not all points are created equal. The difference in win expectancy between 2.5 to 3 and 3.5 is about 3% each, same with 6.5 to 7 to 7.5. Well, the difference in win expectancy between 4 and 5.5 is about the same (3.2%). 4.5, 5 and 5.5 are all dead numbers and not worth nearly as much as moves near at key number.It in my opinion, and others on this board are likely better positioned to speak to this, but a move from 5.5 to 4.5 isn't that big of a move. It still is a move but it could come from a syndicate or from information. A move from 5.5 to 3.5 or 3.0 pushing through 4 would likely signal something much bigger. I anticipate that the small move may be linked to Coleman being probable as the QB for Army. His status was up in the air and I suspect that news of his availability (despite the backup leading them to a W against Kansas State) might line up with the line movement. But I can't find any information on his current status. Hope that helps.

Welcome to the site @Woodman1968 !!Thank you and I’m very new to this site. A friend of mine turned me onto it so I’m still learning the proper etiquette so to speak on addressing people and stuff like that thank you for your information. I knew they had some injuries but I had not heard anything definite so that makes sense Again appreciate the information thank you.
ThanksWelcome to the site @Woodman1968 !!
