The read

• Neutral site, so neither team gets home-field advantage — worth about 2.6 points in college football, more than most lines move all week.
• 100% chance of rain at kickoff.
• The spread has moved from -7 to -1.5 since it opened, toward the away side. It crossed 3, changing the result in 12.2% of historical games.
• A total of 33.5 sits among the lowest quarter of real college football scores (the median FBS game lands on 54). That places the number; it does not predict the result — overs land almost exactly 50% against closing totals.
