which means the bookies figure it dead-even and give MU the standard home-court edge
Marquette the favorite per:
Vegas.com (no differential)
Think we were favored by 9 against Dayton. So sometimes they are off a little - let's hope we blow out UW and make up for the difference!
MU a 4 1/2 point favorite where I'm shopping
Honesty compels me to report I may take the Evil Empire plus the points tomorrow.
MU did open at -5, still at that number where I go.
In the power rankings, MU was only a point ahead of Wisco as of last Monday. MU's getting four additional for the home court tonight (which is the norm in a game like this).
I probably won't play it, but I'd play Wisco if I was laying money. I know Eye said he saw it at 4 1/2. I wouldn't be shocked if it gets down to 4.
I don't partake, but StatSheet keeps track of such things I noticed when I was perusing there. MU up to -5.5 favorite this AM.
