I know it’s been a weird week in college football, but still, this…
Just curious: what exactly does one have to do to be greatly respected by a Vegas book? Besides throwing away a shit ton of money, I mean.

Source @CaesarsPalace books said "a bet (on Georgia) from a player we greatly respect" was in part behind the line movement in the SEC Championship Game. In last three days, UGA has gone from a 2-point underdog to 1-point favorite at Caesars.

“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23
That would be my feel too: Desert respect = Large volume wagering.
But for me (like this gambling syndicate), the Dawgs are feelin’ right today

Yea, I don’t think Vegas would be talking in glowing terms of respect about a gambler who consistently takes their money. More like, “can we wack this guy and get away with it?”

You get their respect from (and this fits your normal philosophy on why things happen) following the money. Vegas has no more clue than any other opinion based on a reasonable study of all the facts. They are exclusively about balance to minimize the risk, they hate being as vulnerable as the marks.

It is either someone with inside info who let some of the sharps or oddsmakers know or someone laid down a shitload of money for a single bet to move a line even a half a point.

Like Scott typed, you have to believe that it reflects the condition of Johnson. However, I am more intrigued by the possibility that it could be in response to perceived uncertainty in the psyche of the HC. (How much would it be worth if the Hogs announced Malzahn’s intentions at the Half?)
