Why the line moved
Why did the Chargers vs Giants line move?
The spread moved 0.5 points toward the Giants (Giants +6.5 to Giants +6) even though 85% of the spread money sits on the Chargers; the Giants hold 15% of the money and 37% of the tickets, so the line moved away from the money side. The total moved 1 point toward the under (43.5 to 42.5), the side holding 70% of the total money and 69% of the tickets, so the line and the money went the same way.
