Gamblers were betting Indiana heavily at 7.5. To get more action on Miami, Vegas 'adjusted' the spread upwards.

Indiana’s favored by 8.5 pts. Does UM win, cover or get crushed like OR? -- Hoakie82 Jan 12, 2026 at 06:29 PM ET

Miami will cover.... -- TekkNerd Jan 13, 2026 at 06:57 AM ET

Nobody thought Miami was one of the 3 or 4 best at end of regular season. -- HoHumHokie Jan 13, 2026 at 08:24 AM ET

That OU, Bama, JMU & Tulane made it why you don't need a 12+ team playoff** -- marcbvtgm Jan 13, 2026 at 08:45 AM ET

I did, and I made the bets along the way.** -- TekkNerd Jan 13, 2026 at 08:32 AM ET

I was wondering why it moved that way, was thinking it would move to 6.5 -- AirForceHokie77 Jan 12, 2026 at 09:25 PM ET

Apparently the betting public saw it differently from you.** -- marcbvtgm Jan 13, 2026 at 08:46 AM ET

I don't bet, so I guess I got early Indiana money wrong -- AirForceHokie77 Jan 13, 2026 at 01:11 PM ET

AirForceHokie77 • 01/13/26 01:11 PM ET

I believe the only reason the line would move from -7.5 to -6.5 as you -- VTHokie2000 Jan 12, 2026 at 10:03 PM ET
