Currently at, pretty standard.

Oh, ok.

DalaiLama, this is a dime line (as this poster I am quoting is pointing out). You said -125/-105, which would have been 15 cents of vig (if you bet both sides you lose 30 cents).

But it is -125/+105, which means it is a dime line (bet both sides and lose 20 cents). This has long been the industry standard. It is only recently, and with online sportsbooks, that many books are offering -107/-107, -105/-105, -104/-104, etc.

The dime line is so standard it is assumed when you see a spread listed without the "juice".
