I haven't been following the Davis Cup that closely, but I can't figure this out. Before the final, Britain was -320. Murray won, which was expected. Goffin won (expected). Now Britain is somehow -750.

Is it because...
A) Edmund was up 2 sets to love and now appears to have a much better chance to win his next match?
B) Something changed with the lineups
C) Something else?

(A) has to be it, unless there is an injury. Bemelmans looked pretty good against Murray to me, so that seems like way too much line movement solely because Edmund played well. I don't think anything would have changed with doubles to move the odds like that.

This is such a weird matchup with two top guys and two ranked around 100.

Murray/Goffin match was an epic struggle every point. If it had gone four or five sets, somebody would have dropped. Murray fought like a wild man to close it out in three. The second set point and match point were fantastic (short GIFs don't do them justice). Cool way to end the season. First GB Davis Cup in 79 years.
