Opened 20.5, now 20.5. Where a move has a reason beside it, that reason is the thing to check before the gap is one.

Correlation over the club's last two seasons (23 games). A club's markets are one game read several ways, so these run higher than a player's; a spread and a moneyline are close to the same position on the game.
