The betting lines for the Longhorns' first SEC conference game have moved recently, and it's time to discuss why that might have happened despite both teams having a BYE.
The spread for this week's matchup has moved to Texas -6.5 from -7.5, and from a predictive betting standpoint, this isn't a good thing for the Longhorns.
When a number moves closer to 0 for the favored team, it usually means that the betting public is betting on the underdog to win outright or at least cover the spread and keep it close.
