South Carolina opened the week as the favorite in Saturday’s game against Arkansas, but that didn’t last long. We talked with ESPN.com sports gaming writer David Purdum about how the Razorbacks took over the favorite’s position and about who is betting games like this.
What’s the history of this line this week?
When it first popped up at the Wynn, South Carolina was a 1-point favorite. Now, Arkansas is a 2-point favorite at most sports books so there was some early action on this and it was all on Arkansas and it was influential money to move the Razorbacks to the favorite.
