What is line movement? | Who Wins on Sunday?

Line movement is a change in a betting price over time. A spread might move from -2.5 to -3, a total might move from 45.5 to 47, or a moneyline price might change while the teams stay the same.

How it works

Movement can happen for many reasons, including new injury information, weather, betting activity or a sportsbook adjusting to other markets.

What to remember

A move by itself does not prove why the line changed or identify which side is correct. On Who Wins on Sunday?, tracked movement refers to changes observed after our system began storing that game’s market snapshots.
