How is Syracuse football-West Virginia line moving with WVU QB Will Grier out?

Syracuse, N.Y. -- Congratulations to anyone who got in on the action when Syracuse football opened as a seven-point underdog against West Virginia.

Sportsbooks are quickly shifting their odds in the wake of news Saturday morning that star Mountaineers quarterback Wiil Grier will not play in the Camping World Bowl as he begins to prepare for a professional career.

Seven of the eight books with active lines on VegasInsider.com have dropped the spread to WVU being favored anywhere from two-and-a-half points to four points.

West Virginia is expected to start redshirt sophomore Jack Allison at quarterback.
