Stories out of Birmingham speculate the move was driven by none other than Billy Walters himself, pile driving the line from LSU -1.5 to Alabama to -2. One of my primary responsibilities as a bookmaker is to recognize customers whose opinions are worth valuing however for this game I’d be lying if I said the betting pattern hasn’t been unusual.

Yes.

Come out of the coop, brah. That has been known for at least 48 hours now.

They act like this line moved overnight. It was a 6 week gradual move

Heard about this a the day after. The fact that people were loading up on Bama have people suggesting that the fix was possibly on. Add that to the way LSU played on offense and let the rumors fly.

Must ask Rummey....who is that chick in your avi. I have been wondering for a while now.
