Was the NAU and MoSt line made with the anticipation that Cookus is out?
I doubt it. FWIW the live line has moved to NAU -8.5 (although for all picks here we're still using the opening line of -6) and I haven't seen any news about Cookus' availability but it sure didn't look good with the way he exited last week, was ruled out almost immediately, and even went to the hospital after the game.
Yeah, 6 seemed a little low but since it's in Springfield I'd assume it was skewed a little bit in favor of MSU. The Sagarin spread is about 7.5 and the Massey spread is about 8 so neither see MSU as a very big underdog and I'm sure neither have taken into account that NAU is likely missing their 4 year starting QB.
