How the Odds Moved, Open to Final
Pinnacle's moneyline, from the first price we saw on Sep 13 to the final whistle.
Pinnacle is the reference line, never a price to bet at here.
About This Chart
Live prices are read every minute, so a move shows up a minute or two after the play. The longest gap between readings in this game is 17 minutes.
Pinnacle's moneyline from the first price we captured on Sep 13 to the end of the game: 95 pregame readings, then 132 in-game readings over 162 minutes. The dashed line is kickoff. The pregame side is drawn on a shorter time scale than the game so the game gets most of the width. Plotted as win probability with the vig removed, so the two sides sum to 100%. Pinnacle is the reference market because it prices every game before and during play, and one book keeps the line continuous. It is not a US-licensed book and is never shown as a best price here. Hover or press the chart for the American price at any moment. Houston Cougars is drawn in a site colour rather than its own: the two team colours are too close to tell apart on this background.
Earliest at Pinnacle: Texas Tech Red Raiders -160 on Sep 19, closed at -339.
Where Pinnacle's Line Opened, and Where It Closed
This game was listed before Pinnacle priced it, so the number below is Pinnacle's earliest price on it rather than the first number anyone posted. It was actually posted, it is stamped with its own time, and the market may already have moved before it existed.

- Texas Tech Red Raiders: PINN open -160, closed -339 (shorter)

About These Closing Odds
Every price on this page is a book's own last quote strictly before Houston Cougars and Texas Tech Red Raiders started, taken from our scan archive. A book that stopped pricing the game early still shows the number it closed at, and a book that never priced it is not listed. 19 books priced this game. The tables list the books you can bet; an offshore book shows when you turn it on in your books, and Pinnacle appears only as the reference on the chart. Prediction market prices include trading fees wherever a fee applies, so they are directly comparable to sportsbook lines. See how we calculate this.
This page is permanent. The closing prices above do not change again, and the page keeps them at this address after the game, the season and the rematch, so it stays a citable record of what this line actually closed at.
