Las Vegas Sports Consultants opened the total at 200.0.
At 10:15 this morning it jumped to 202.0, an hour later it moved to 201.5, and at 1:10 it sat on 203.0, where it remains.
Analysis
My ratings have this betting total at 204.0.
Thus, I believe the Oddsmakers lowered the line 4 points (from 204.0 to 200.0) at opening.
The public quickly jumped on what appeared to be a low number and quickly bet it up to 202.0. Some Sharps then got in on the action and dropped it down to 201.5, before the public hit it hard again and bumped it back up to 203; where it stayed for most of the day.
In this spot, the public loses. The Oddsmakers lowered this number because they love the under in the game. The public bit on the early low number and Vegas, and a few Sharks, will make a killing here!
