AgreeSimply put, if we keep playing like we have been, we will lose. I wouldn't put money on the Gophers. After several years, I think that morose Nebraska fan who streams YouTube videos from his toilet may finally see a victory in Minnesota.

Very rare for a house to be "raking in all the chips." Or losing all the chips, for that matter.
Sports books try very hard not to be in the business of gambling. They want to make money by having zero exposure, and collecting half the vig.
One thing sports books don't like, however. Is lines that move a lot, like this one. That results in excess exposure where they could end up paying out on some bets to both sides.
