As for reality, still not buying any of this. Vegas makes money when they have as close to a 50/50 split as possible. Period.
It is true that Vegas makes money when it is a 50/50 (or close to) split, however, they also make money because the vast (and I mean VAST) majority of people who wager lose and lose non-stop

Vegas definitely doesnt want 50/50 action on every game. Sometimes they take a position on a game and hope for money to pour in on one side. I think this is the case here. You have a BCS school who looked unreal on offense in the second half of the season vs a non BCS school who plays nobody. Joe Public thinks this is easy, Wisconsin is getting a FG! Not so fast my friend!
