Does anyone know why the rollout for this one happened 48 hours before launch? Don't they usually go about 24 hours before?

Actually if you look at all of the previous launches, their roll times can vary by a day. I have sort of noticed recently that the 400 series seems to rollout about 12 hours closer to the launch time than the 500 series. My guesses are: 1) more connections to mate and longer verification process that might be associated with use of more Stage-0 SRBMs | 2) the earlier rollout might be due to a customer request. I plan to compare the rollout times for MUOS-1 with MUOS-2 as well as compare them the other 500-series missions previously flown.

From last night

The Launch Readiness Review was completed today and mission managers gave a go for launch on Friday. The U.S. Navy’s Mobile User Objective System- 2 (MUOS-2) mission is set to liftoff on a ULA Atlas V on Friday, July 19 from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The 44-minute launch window opens at 8:48 a.m. EDT. Today’s L-3 forecast continues to show a 40 percent chance of favorable weather conditions for launch.

Just to roll during daylight hours? Not a large enough crew to roll during the day today and then start the count tonight.
