The read
- The spread has moved from -28.5 to -31.5 since it opened, toward the home side.
- A total of 56.5 sits on the high side of real college football scores (the median FBS game lands on 54). That places the number; it does not predict the result — overs land almost exactly 50% against closing totals.
