If 75% of the money is coming in on Missouri, but the line is staying at TN -3, what does that mean?

It means someone at their gambling HQ has left their post at their computer.

What is leading you to think 75% of the money is coming in on Missouri?

Missouri has a defense--sometimes. I am picking Tennessee because of the mood in Rocky Top now.

I went with the Vols because I really really want them to win.
Which is also why I never bet real $$.

Wes Rucker @wesrucker247 · 26m 26 minutes ago A few sites are saying approximately 75% of people are taking Mizzou and the 3/3.5 points against #Vols.
Wes Rucker's twitter. I would look it up myself, but those sites are undoubtedly blocked at work. I guess what I missed in the OP is that 75% of people and 75% of the money are two very different things.

Your username made me wish I had created mine as CocknVols.
Then Vols&Shaft and I could totally hang out.

The public likes Mizzou, but the books like UT to win enough to take the risk on not middling the money.

Yep. Somebody is throwing around some of that old Tenner money.

Gotcha, that's what I was going to say. I guess this would imply bigger average bets on TN meaning the smarts are taking TN.
Pretty sure any book out there would be shifting the line if actual $ was anywhere close to that one-sided
With just a quick look at ESPN, it looks like a few books are actually trying to encourage more bets on Missouri by giving better payouts on that side of the spread:
MIZZ: 105
TENN: -125

There is a story behind my handle. But I ain't telling it again.

Exactly...for all the blah-blah about 50-50 & make the 10% juice, the books will play the game too if they feel strongly one way or the other...

That's not how gambling works.
It may be 75% of bettors, but it's not 75% of the money or the line would have moved.
They don't care who wins. They aren't picking anyone to win. They aren't saying UT is 3 points better. They are setting a line with an attempt to get even money on both sides which apparently it so far has been since the line hasn't moved.
