The Las Vegas Hilton opened at Carolina minus 3, with a total of 43.5.
On Tuesday , Carolina remained a 3 point favorite, but total moved first to 43, and eventually landed on 42.5.
Today the game line moved to 3.5. The total remained at 42.5.
Analysis
My oddsmaking system has this game going at Carolina -1.5 and the total at 46.5.
Thus, I believe that the Vegas oddsmakers bumped the opening line 1.5 points (from 1.5 to 3), and lowered the total 3 points (from 46.5 to 43.5). The betting public then bet it up to 3.5 on the game and down to 42.5 on the total. All of this tells me that the oddsmakers missed both numbers on this game.
