Title: Early MU/Cincy Line
Post by: Dish on January 31, 2008, 08:29:41 AM
MU will open as a 3 point favorite, give or take a point depending on the book.

Vegas is either insane or doesn't have the college basketbal package on their cable/dish.    If you look at how the two teams have played this month, Cinci should open as a 5-6 point favorite.

I know people who know people who make these lines, and that's what I'm being told. If you saw my post before the DePaul game, with the Vegas power rankings that they use to make the lines, it also adds up to MU giving 3.

These rankings were pretty dead on accurate for all the lines of the BE games last night too.

I agree MU will be getting points at Cincy, if its 3, dont touch this game.
You dont know what MU team shows up on the road.

I have been very harsh on this team.  I will tell you this however, if MU is favored take MU and give the points.  Anytime something looks like a sure bet go the other way.  Vegas want you to take Cincy....Now if Cincy is favored, I would stay away.

BTW the Pats will cover big as well on Sunday!

Would you care to expand? I know Marquette hasn't looked the sharpest lately but Cincy has lost 3 of its last 5.

Not according to Brandon Lang who has suppossedly picked the last 16 Super Bowl winners and was the main character in Two for the Money.  He thinks NE wins by 3 so take the Giants with the points.  He predicted 30-27 or 31-28 this morning on the D-List.

Thank you, Tower912, for pointing out the deficiencies in how Vegas sets lines on college BB.  Clearly they need someone trolling this board to hear all of us idiots pointing out MU problems and why we are bound to lose.  If they could only harness the genius on this board, they might be able to make money and build expensive casinos.

Did I get the sarcasm font right??

Unfortunately he also guaranteed a Packers victory in the NFC Championship game and that they would cover in the Super Bowl.  Guess that prediction doesn't make it into his "streak."

Yes he did and he blasted the Sanders for not making any defensive adjustmets and that Sanders was the single reason why they lost that game.  And I can't argue with him there.  Packers make some adjustments and they win that game. 

I know he has had great success in the past so it will be interesting to see if he is right on this one.
