I may take the points. MU wins, but I think it will be close.

Wow. If I were a betting man, I would take USF and the points. Unlikely we cover this one.
I like our chances to win....and cover! Statement game opp.
That's a strange line. The book tries to get even action on both sides, right? So if an MU fan site has 3 of the first 4 on the SFU side of the line, what does that mean? Are we missing something? Obviously Vegas doesn't listen to Dominique Jones.
Pomeroy says MU by 9, seems like the vegas line would be less...
WIll be a tough game - I hope we beat the spread and win big, but I think this will be a close one.
GO MARQUETTE!!
I'd rather be the underdog.
But they're coming to OUR house. I think it's going to be a 4 point game.
I think it's close for 30 minutes, but MU pulls away at the end and wins by about 15.
IDK that I'd bet against MU, i agree that the spread seems a bit high, but i believe MU is 9-2 against the spread in conference play with the 2 "losses" being against DePaul.
I think MU wins by 13 and thus covers.
I think the game will be close to the number. Free throws at the end determine if MU covers. BTW, WI is favored by 17 over IIII. This will be the only game of the year I will be pulling for Bucky!
I'll take MU.
I would take the points ans USFin this one. MU wins, but I think it will be tight.
A 9 1/2 means Vegas would have actually favored us if the game were at USF. I feel like we are going to roll tonight but if Dominique goes crazy it will be closer than that. If he is off at all, we kick butt.
I'd take the points and USF - I think Vegas may be overlooking the return of Gilchrist - that dude is a MONSTER. 6'10" and 235lbs. He's been out all of Big East season, and was avergaing 18 and 8 before going out with the injury. Does he return to the lineup and add value? I would think so, but it is also possible he could disrupt the flow of the Dominque Jones show. Nonetheless, I take USF and the points.

Vegas doesn't overlook anything. Those palatial casinos with gold plated door knobs aren't popping up ever year because people are winning.

Good point. I stand corrected. That said..Gilchrist's return makes this team scarier in my opinion..
Win by 11, we cover! Daniel, 77ncaachamps, 79Warrior, Ners lose. They owe ATWizJr, CrazyEcho, copious1218 and NavinRJohnson.
Pay up!
I honestly think MU is something like 95% vs. the Spread this year. Anywhere we can look that up?

I think we're actually 12-6 against the spread after tonight's win... statsheet doesn't seem to be counting the push vs. Nova.
I'm very happy with this win - and we played Jones pretty tight. Just got back to Chicago half hour ago - nice drive back after a win!
