BetOnline Holds Jazz-Nuggets Game at Denver -3: Most Move to -2.5

We love when books have a strong opinion on a particular game, especially in the NBA.  It's why Gambling911.com holds a 67-42-1 61.5% record this season. Today's Jazz-Nuggets game is yet another grand example.  That being said, we still have our friends at BetOnline hanging on at Utah -3 whereas everyone else has moved to -2.5 and, thus, encouraging action on the Jazz as of 3:15 pm ET.
