Why the line moved
Why did the Titans vs Lions line move?
The spread moved 5 points toward the Lions (Lions -7.5 to Lions -12.5), the side holding 91% of the spread money and 88% of the tickets, so the line and the money went the same way. The total moved 2 points toward the under (47.5 to 45.5) even though 87% of the total money sits on the over; the under holds 13% of the money and 14% of the tickets, so the line moved away from the money side.
