How do oddsmakers come up with their halftime numbers? Are there certain key numbers that they use? Obviously the first half score comes into play as to whether the favorite or the dog is winning and by how much. If team a is favored by 6 and they lead by 3 at the half, is the second half always team a
-3 to and try and mimic the original spread? There must be some criteria because they get these numbers up quickly.
Thanks

I don't think there is a set formula for setting halftime lines. it's more of a feel thing by a linemaker. Juice also plays a key roll with HT numbers. Here a link to a good article about how lines are established in Las Vegas, there is quite a bit about HT lines.
