Illinois Game

[WhiteTrash]

I haven't seen a line on the game yet but ESPN has Illinois with a 61% chance to win. I'll guess Vegas has Ill -2? Maybe no line until more news on TK comes out?

I have seen -7.5 -to -8.5 Illinois

Really or teally?

Seems excessive

Has to be teally, haven't seen any lines on the game yet and 3-4 days out is abnormally early especially when the status of a star player is not yet known.

Has a line ever been 6 or 7 points different than Pomeroy?

He has it as Illinois minus 1.

I would believe the minus 1 but I did see the , 8 somewhere.

I feel like it will come out as either a pick or -1 to Marquette. Early in the year, I think those gaudy AP rankings make it easier to bet on the highly ranked team, especially before the metrics have solidified.

[HowardsWorld]

If there was a Marquette +8 I would bet my mortgage on it. +8 is insane as I believe Marquette will win this even without Kolek.

If I had to guess the line will open up at Marquette -1 and then move once the news breaks if Kolek plays or not.

Mentioned this already, the look ahead line is publicly out there. It's still Illini -1.
