After the Longhorns' big win against San Jose State, the opening spread for the UTEP matchup was 40.5. It has since shifted a little bit after some public bettors jumped on one side of it over the past week or so.
As of this morning, the current spread is at 41.5 (-110) depending on the sportsbook which means that the books have been taking money on Texas -40.5. In order for the books to balance out the attraction for both sides of the line, they've moved it to 41.5 to see if they can get some bettors to take the UTEP side.
