Why the line moved
Why did the Cowboys vs Eagles line move?
The spread did not move from the line tracked 24 hours before kickoff (Eagles -3) even with 60% of the spread money on the Eagles. The total moved 0.5 points toward the under (47 to 46.5) even though 52% of the total money sits on the over; the under holds 48% of the money and 28% of the tickets, so the line moved away from the money side.
