MU +8

[Dish]

DK has future lines out, MU is +8 vs Wisconsin on 12/4. Moneyline is +295 on MU.

[brewcity77]

+8? That seems very high. I know home court will likely be less impactful, but that's a lot of points. I'd take MU in that spot.

[🏀]

It was weirdly out on Sunday and was +9 when I got in.

Kenpom has the UW game as a 1 point spread...

[Marquette4life]

Anyone else notice now the spread on ESPN is 3.5. Has to be a mistake right?

UW -4 at my book.

As mentioned earlier Kenpom has it at UW-1 so I'm not too surprised. I wish I had the faith to take MU ML but I don't see it.

I've been looking at this too and I don't think that its a mistake.  Vegas Insider says it opened at 8.5 but down to consensus 3.5 now.  Odds Shark has everyone at 4 or 3.5.  I have no way to explain the huge shift.

Nope. Concensus is 3.5 for Bucky.

Which I am going to pound hard. Really hoping to lose it. But thats too good of value imo.

CBS App has it that as well.

[oldwarrior81]

there were a few sites which opened overnight at 8.5, with MU being +325

Most every book now has it at +3.5, and MU at +150
over/under moved from 136.5 to 138

Agreed.  MU +8 would've been the smart play, but UW -3.5 seems like a no brainer.

Maybe word got out that Douchey McNutgrabber will be shaving points.

He prefers smooth?

The 3.5 reflects Marquette's star, 100% 3 point shooter, Theo John.

You jest, but a big man that can put down threes using nothing but net or the backboard, is an unusually talented commodity. Gotta be worth some point on the line.

[oldwarrior81]

stabilized a bit this morning with Wisconsin a 4.0/4.5 point favorite.
over/under dropped to around 134.
MU moneyline at 1+155/+160

which would forecast the Badgers winning a 69-65 game.

[MikeDeanesDarkGlasses]

MU won't be able to handle Wisco's defense as it's too early in the season to solve the Notorious Z.O.N.E.

This will be a low scoring affair, but Wisco will be better on offense due to experience and talent.  Wouldn't be surprised if MU shoots in the 30's FG% this game as Gard will bring out the zone and outcoach Wojo in dramatic fashion.  MU doesn't have a reliable scorer that can get points almost at any time nor present any mismatches.  Prepare to see some ugly MU offense.   

Take Bucky to win by at least 8 and the under 134.

Outstanding analysis!

It was amazing how little you got right here, but I do hope you at least bet the under to have some reason to cheer. I doubt the win made you happy at all.

[PGsHeroes32]

Happy to see my pound it strategy failed miserably.

Enjoying the win. Will try and make it back tomorrow on some football and hoops
