Good stuff. While I think line moves should be a tool in your handicapping evaluation bag, I dont puta lot of stok in it. Like you said, there are several unknowns and trying to figre out why will take your time and focus off more importnat things.
The only time I really eyeball a ine move is when the line is "obviously" going he "wrong" way. Doesnt happen that often, but it sticks out when it does. Its reverse line movement, but not just any movement.When a favorite has an already favorable line (meaning that anyone that has gambled for awhile can see whos gonna get most of the action) and the line keeps getting better....be very cautious. This will often time happen when a road favorite is favored by less than a td ( ranked vs unranked will get this scenario often). You see the 10th ranked team open @ -6.5 vs a team that just got killed last week. Sweet, you say to yourself....easy money right? Now, saturday morning rolls around and nothing has changed...except the line is now -3.5......
